Abstract: Coccydynia also familiar as coccygodynia, coccygeal pain, caoccalgia which implies at the lowest part of spine, the coccyx. There is a noticeable pain in and around the coccyx mainly caused by childbirth pressure. In general, relaxants and other hormones are responsible as they can cause stretching and relaxation of pelvic floor and move or can rotate the coccyx to cause pain. It can also be due to sudden impact on coccyx due to fall, repetitive trauma of ligaments and muscles attached with coccyx, partial dislocation of coccyx, and sacrococcygeal synchondrosis due to abnormal movement of coccyx from excessive sitting, overweight or underweight, aging, infection and sometimes due to tumor. It is more common in postpartum women of increased body mass index and those who had more than one normal delivery.
