Zusammenfassung:A 33-year-old woman presented with dyspepsia and coccyx pain. Since her first vaginal delivery, she had been experiencing discomfort during defecation followed by coccyx pain, which was persistent even after 18 months. [...]conservative treatment is considered, including the administration of analgesics, exercise therapy, local anesthesia, and avoiding painful positions. The reason for the anterior dislocation, in this case, may be that the tailbone, once dislocated posteriorly, gradually shifted ventrally because of daily activities performed after delivery such as sitting. [...]when women present with persistent pain in the buttock and a physical examination shows a localized tenderness in the coccyx, a subluxation of the coccyx related to vaginal delivery would be suspected.
