The causes of buttock pain

The causes of buttock pain

There are different causes of buttock or butt pain, depending on what you're talking about.

Pain in glute/butt muscle– Do you have pain in the large muscle of your butt when sitting, standing, walking, or during sex or other physical exercises? When you press on the middle of your butt muscle, does it hurt worse? How about during the massage if they rub you hard in that area - do you just jump off the table in pain? Does the pain radiate to one or both legs? Is it sharp, boring, burning or painful there all the time? Does it keep you from sleeping? Is it cramping? All of these could describe butt pain caused by your sciatic nerve.

What is the sciatic nerve?– The sciatic nerve is a large nerve that exits your spine at your lower back, runs through your butt muscle, and down your legs. It can easily be made worse by stress. When you're stressed, your muscles become more tense and put pressure on this nerve, causing all sorts of symptoms and generally making your life pretty miserable.

Lower back/butt pain– The lower back and buttocks are closely connected. So if you have pain in one area, you often have pain in the other area too. The sciatic nerve runs through both your lower back and your buttocks. Some people have pain only in the lower back, others only in the butt or only one butt cheek, others have lower back pain that radiates from one butt cheek to the leg. All of this describes a typical sciatic nerve problem.

Pain in the anus (or asshole)– This is more than likely hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are veins in your anus or just outside of it that become swollen, hard, and very tender. Sometimes you can even see the hemorrhoids if you point your butt at a mirror, bend over and spread your butt cheeks. They may look like small, round purple balls (that's the vein) or they may be red and swollen.(Google ‘hemorrhoids’ and featured images.)Hemorrhoids are caused by sitting(Truck drivers often suffer from this)constipation(If you try to shit, hemorrhoids will develop over time.)Pregnancy can cause hemorrhoids due to constipation and pressure from the growing baby, as well as dehydration. Being chronically dehydrated is a leading cause of constipation and therefore hemorrhoids. You should drink at least 2 liters of water every day. Coffee, tea and soft drinks do not count. You can get Preparation H at your local drugstore to provide temporary relief from itching, burning, and swelling. But to really get rid of them for good, you need to add more water and more fiber to your diet. I like to drink 2-3 liters of water per day and eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. Because of these changes, I no longer get hemorrhoids. If you think you have hemorrhoids but they don't go away after a few weeks of hydrating yourself and curing your constipation, please contact your doctor. PS The toilet is not a library. Don't sit and read for hours - this is one of the main causes of hemorrhoids.

Pain or burning in the top of the butt crack– If you have pain, redness, itching, burning, and/or mild bleeding at the top of your butt crack, you may have onePilonid cyst.

From Wikipedia:“”Pilonidal cysts are quite painful, affect men more often than women, and typically occur between the ages of 15 and 24. Although they usually occur near the tailbone, they can also affect the navel, armpit, or penis. “

These cysts often get bacterial or fungal infections. If you want to try treating it yourself, get an over-the-counter antibacterial cream and treat yourself twice a day after showering. If you still have the problem after a few weeks, you should see your doctor. I know, embarrassing. I once had to go to the doctor for an extremely painful hemorrhoid.
