Given that your buttocks or glute muscles are behind you, you might not have paid any attention to them until they begin to hurt. The gluteus muscle helps you maintain your proper posture, support your body weight and engage you in sports activities like running, jumping, and climbing. However, they are susceptible to injury and illness, from minor muscle strains to infections.

Your glute muscles are made up mostly of fat and gluteus muscle:

Gluteus maximus. The largest glute muscle and responsible for the shape of your buttocks. Its role is to keep you upright when sitting or standing.
Gluteus medius. It is between the gluteus maximus and gluteus minimus. Its role is to help the rotation of your leg and stabilize the pelvis.
Gluteus minimus. The smallest and deepest glute muscles. Its role is to rotate the lower limbs and keep the pelvis stable when moving.

The most common cause of pain in the buttocks or the gluteal area is not severe, but some need to pay a visit to their doctor, especially when they experience the following symptoms:

Numbness or weakness in the legs
Trouble controlling the bowels or bladder
Soreness that won’t heal
Sharp pain
Fever
Pain when walking and limits movement

A lack of physical activity or an unhealthy lifestyle can also weaken your gluteus muscles.
