    Thank you (again) Dr Chung for such a comprehensive and understandable discussion! I identify with 5 out of 10 of these reasons, and before meeting with you, I automatically expected….the worst. Once I understood this, I started to relax and not be overly worried, so therefore the spasms started to relent. I can still experience them, but not to the degree I once did and when they do happen, I know what to do. 🎉 If more and more medical personnel would actually truly do education and prevention, we would all be so much healthier!! You really are doing quite a wonderful service educating us all. 🥳🤗🥳 please, don’t stop!!
    If anyone else who reads this is wondering if they should invest in a consultation with you, schedule it, don’t hesitate, you wont regret!

    Yes! This is my issue. I had to figure it out on my own. After years of tests, 3 different gastroenterologists, 2 GYN’s and a uroGYN, all who could not figure out my chronic constipation. Who all just kept giving me different types of laxatives. I knew it wasn’t a consistency problem, just by my symptoms. At first I thought I had some sort of pelvic prolapse and the gyn told me to do kegels. Come to find out (from my own research) I should have been doing reverse kegels, which I could not do them, until I learned to breathe correctly, by doing biological breathing. This has helped a lot. Although I still have a lot of the symptoms you talk about, they are so much more mild and the best thing is, I have pretty normal poops and feeling so much better. Thank you for such informative content.

    Not once was stress and anxiety mentioned! Spasms and when you sit down to go - and it doesn't 'want' to come out are signs of anxiety and IBS - The correlation between your brain and bowel are very close, so, if you're in a very stressed state your bowel is going to be really effected.

    Hi Dr Chung, this is by far the most informative discussion I've come across about something like this, a very helpful presentation. I was wondering, and I don't know if this has been asked or discussed, but do anal spasms ever get confused for something nerve related like pudendal neuralgia?

      @marypolk9820 Před 24 dny

      Hey .... I have been dealing with what I was told was constipation. Now I am here trying to learn about this to help myself. I am also thinking pudendal nerve. Have you found out anything? I am taking Magnesium glycinate for the stress of this whole deal. It helps with muscle relaxation. But I would still have days that it wasn't enough. So I added vitamin B1.... oh man it really helped for a while... now it comes and goes on the helping that. So I am so very tired of dealing with this.

    I had my surgery 4 weeks ago. I am doing fine. My foctor left my wound open. I am doing fine but not 100% as I am still having a drainage on the guaze I place at my surgery place. It hase a small amount of yellow and green fluid on it. I am not feeling any pain or any blood in stool. I thought to discuss it with you. I am using Mycitracin cream at the wounds.

    Belly breathing or diaphragmatic breathing is most effective to relax the muscles from spasm. Doing pranayam correctly can relieve all these symptoms
    This is from my own experience. I had severe spasm whole day which was not letting fissure heal. Only this deep breathing has helped me alot.

I didn't get the surgery & kept thinking I had piles.. for 2 years, I suffered from fissures, bleeding , pain & burning, without even knowing that I had fissures, not piles. I only researched about piles & thought I need to get surgery, & went back to same doc & got the surgery last week. he didn't even tell which surgery he performed, why & how will it help. Its my big mistake to not get a second opinion and get consultation from more places..T^T .. now I feel so sad & violated that I had only fissures that could be healed without a surgery, but was made to undergo surgery...

    My spasms are present the majority of the time, albeit painless, no blood unless straining strongly on internal hemorrhoids. I've been watching Michelle Kenway's vids...very helpful with Belly Breathing to relax. I have virtually every symptom you describe except pain, and have had the condition now for around 5 years, interestingly beginning after consuming some bad, rancid Trader Joe's peanut butter. Prior to that my movements were relatively normal, but since I discovered thru trial and error that peanut and nut butters lock up my colon like concrete. It takes a few weeks for that advanced constipation to pass. One particular "mechanical trigger" I've noticed is when laying down in bed, if any pressure of the mattress is upon the anus directly, or even just beneath the tailbone....seems to trigger an extra tightness. Therefore I most often sleep on my side. But my sphincter seems to now be in continual spasm. Your videos are THE most informative videos on this important subject. THANK YOU!

    I have it 24/7 unless I quit lifting weights or if I'm on my feet to much and I only do upper body lifting for years because my pain and I thought it was Levator Ani Syndrome. I've been to 5 proctologist and 3 pelvic floor pts. I have all of these. The only reason I figure out anything is when I've been sick with covid and other illnesses that the pain is much better during that time. I post this because I hope it can help someone else. I spent so much time and money on hemorrhoid banding surgery pt etc to get no relief. I want to try a nerve block been chasing this for 5 years now. Good luck to everyone.

    Thank you, Dr. Chung. This is very relevant to me after our consultation last week. I'm really looking forward to the video on the remedies!
    #1 - Pooping takes a while to get started - 15+ mins average
    #2 - Your farts are really loud! - Usually, control it by concentrating (external sphincter control?) or separating the butt cheeks
    #3 - You have to push to get the POOP out - I try to manage it by sitting longer duration (45 mins average)
    #4 - Poop looks like a thin spaghetti noodle - Generally slightly wider than an ink pen.
    #5 - Your anus shuts down the POOP pipeline - Only a problem during diarrhea or fissure. Long duration and relaxation techniques (Google maps scrolling) help
    #6 - Your anus feels like a grape - Rare but does happen (like right now). I always thought it was trapped gas.
    #7 - Anal pain can last for hours and hours! - I have been suffering from this for about a month after a fissure and subsequent 5 hours of back-to-back seated meetings
    #8 - The pain wakes you up at night! No Mercy! - Happened a couple of times during the last month. It was not excruciating but uncomfortable to wake me up
    #9 - "Burning" anal pain - Typically happens after diarrhea or a lot of poop. This was constant for about 3-4 days in the last month. I wonder if it is again the friction that causes this
    #10 - Bleeding + "Pain with a SOFT poop!!" - This happened quite a few times last year as streaks of thin lines on the poop. I thought it was undigested tomato!

    Got every single symptoms. Came on after a fissure. Well I wonder if this was going on a little before the fissure but mainly got worse after. Even thought fissure healed it’s stuck like this.
    Tried the ointments but GTN eventually stopped working. pelvic physio kept aggravating it. Acupuncture didn’t work. Trying Botox now. Also tried amitriptyline and now trying duloxetine. At this point I feel like the doctors must think I’m making it up they are baffled it still hurts. At leas you understand.
    Look forward to the treatment video. Hopefully there’s something I’ve missed.
    Also they won’t prescribe me any sort of muscle relaxant so that’s frustrating as I would like to know how effective it would be.

    Thank you for video. Question: is anal spasm same as Levator Ani Syndrome? I had LAS 10 years ago and with pelvic floor treatment … was gone. Reappeared 6 months ago. Am being treated for LAS from pelvic floor specialist regularly for 5 months now. Constant pain and can hardly sit. I do have several of the symptoms you mentioned. Also have IBS and currently investigating this as well. I sit with feet on a stool and never push but use the “Ssssss” breathing method so that the proper muscles are being used to send poop out. I am currently considering Botox on left side of rectum where I feel like I’m sitting on a small golf ball. Will only release for 24 hours after pelvic floor rectal therapy. I feel like I have a red hot poker up my butt constantly. Is Botox on that left side a good idea????? Please help. Thanks From Canada 😳

It's been 9 days only able to lay on side in bed and had to use a walker to get up due to weakness. I've gained 8 lbs in 3 days. In the end after 10 days I had surgery it was a abcess that turned into a fistula because hospital dismissed me after 5 ambulances. Oh wow what a time.

Finally I got septic was unable to lift my chest off the bed. This time the ambulance had to dress me and cart me on a cot. I wad put in a que in a wheelchair started bleeding from there profusely. On way back from washroom I passed out a man caught me. Finally the nurses said cone in I was hooked to IV and a doctor took one look said Cat scan stat. After thst I had zillions bags of antibiotics and I finally peed. They told me I had a very large abcess and I was prepped for surgery I woke up and was apparently uncooperative. I spent 3 days in hospital. I had a seton now and the surgeon wants to do a fistulotomy. EXTREME PAIN was my main symptom. Plus weakness and confusion as I became septic. Worse experience of my life. Thanks for asking about it.

    Is a tight pelvic floor linked to the anal canal?
    And yesterday I had that hot rod sensation of something going up my bottom, it went on/off for hours. Later on in the day though I felt it also in the middle and kind of front of my pelvic floor, earlier on in the day it was only up my bum. Would it by localised to only my backside or can you have the sensations also in the rest of the pelvic area?

    Dr could you talk about manually dilating anus with fingers/anal plugs? I’ve read that it helps with relaxing and stretching the sphincter muscle to let fissure heal and that it doesn’t cause incontinence…and doing kegle along side the dilating. What do you think about manually dilating anus? Is it safe, cause infection, if I get the sphincter wider would it affect if I we to ever get surgery in the future?would it increase chances of incontinence because I manually dilated my butt if I underwent a butt procedure?

    I’m female and recently was diagnosed & treated with anorectal fistula. MRI at first suggested there was fluid between muscles but surgeon changed his mind! At first I was treated with draining seton but I’m now a few days into recovery from fistulectomy & fistulotomy, with Botox and high internal haemorrhoid banding. I’ve seen no sign of the band or haemorrhoid yet but it’s very painful. The spasms I get seem to stem from the hemmerhoid I’ve been complaining about for years. My queries are could a hemmerhoid actually be a hidden thrombosed hemmerhoid under the tissue? Can spasms cause bladder/uterus spasm? Can piriformis syndrome cause rectal pain? I’m so scared I’m going to be left like this because I can’t live this way. I cried so much when I awoke from surgery! I’m in Scotland so don’t know how I’d get to see you!

Some sort of thickness is diagnosed and seen in the colonoscopy above dentate line in the rectum. Could it be a scar? And can this tightness be resolved through surgery?

    thank you for covering this information! I am still assuming I am having anal spasm, but it is not a burning sensation - it literally feels like the worst charley horse in the world, in my anus (can't believe I'm typing this sentence!) - and was so bad, I could feel it in my lower abdomen too. I am having one right now - it has subsided a bit, in order for me to search for this and type. Earlier, it was so painful, I felt like I was going to vomit. I also had to lay on my side and just moan in pain (for about 45 mins)! I took some painkillers than I had left over, because it is so painful, I can barely do anything. It came out of NOWHERE (no poop issues and hadn't pooed recently). I've had a few of these incidents in the last 6 years or so. They have all been a shock and this one has now lasted for more than an hour - mine usually last for 3 - 8 hours. I can't imagine the poor people who have them 24/7! It is bearable now, but holy cow, I would want to kill myself if this was a 24/7 thing. I am def going to look at your treatments for this. It's AWFUL!! Oh - and I have recently had a very thorough colonoscopy, so I feel confident this is not cancer. No bleeding either, thank goodness. Thanks again for talking about this condition.
