Buttocks / buttocks
The two buttocks, which are separated centrally by the anal trough, are traversed by the gluteal muscles, with the gluteus maximus muscle, the gluteus medius muscle and the gluteus minimus muscle on each side. The gluteus maximus (gluteus maximus muscle) attaches to the iliac loop and the sacrum at the top and to the thighbone at the top. He is one of the strongest muscles of the body and acts as a Strecker of the hip joint when standing or walking. In addition, the large gluteal muscles, as well as the gluteus medius muscle and the gluteus minimus muscle, make a significant contribution to the stabilization of the pelvis.
Discomfort in the buttocks area can be diverse in nature. Relatively often these occur in the environment of the anus. Afterjucken and pain can be, for example, a consequence of anal fissure or haemorrhoidal disease. But muscular complaints or impairments of the musculoskeletal system such as a blockage of the iliac-ankle joint are quite common in the buttocks area. A typical feature in this case, buttocks, which often radiate in the back. The same applies to the chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease ankylosing spondylitis (ankylosing spondylitis). However, the buttocks pain does not necessarily indicate a disease, but they can also occur as a result of acute stress, such as when cycling or hiking, as a strong muscle soreness. Other possible complaints in the buttocks area include inflammatory events such as the development of a coccyx fistula. Back pain can also radiate into the buttock area, for example in the case of a trapped sciatic nerve. Recurrent buttocks pain should be urgently medically clarified regardless of their exact location. (Fp)
