Rectal pain is also known as Levator Ani Syndrome. What it is, is spontaneous episodic pains in the rectum that are secondary to spasms in the pelvic floor muscular chair. These pains are said to last at least twenty (20) minutes at a time, and as they do progress, they can last longer. Patients often say that it's a sensation of a golf ball in their rectum. Patients say that they have a dull ache in their rectum or a burning, itchy sensation in their rectum. Risk factors for Levator Ani Syndrome include a history of hemorrhoids or hemorrhoid surgery, history of an anal fissure, history of prolonged sitting, particularly sitting on a hard surface and with poor posture, or chronically holding your stress in your pelvic floor muscles, and it can be aggravated with intercourse. It may be relieved with bowel movements. It is important to let your doctor know that you're experiencing these symptoms because research has shown that the earlier that we catch and diagnose and treat it, the easier it is for us to make patients better. The longer things persist, the more challenging it is for us to make it go away, really because it starts to become your new normal, both in the way your muscles are set, the way your muscle spindles are, as well as the way your nerves are trained and the way they function. So if we catch it early, we can retrain the muscles and the nerves faster and with a better prognosis.
The past couple years I’ve had a few episodes. It’s the worst pain I’ve ever felt. The first time I experienced this I thought I had to go to the bathroom. I sat on the toilet for awhile literally wanting to die. The worst part was not knowing what was causing this. Usually I wake up from a deep sleep with the pain slowly building up and when the pain peaks it’s the worst feeling that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. So happy to know I’m not the only one that goes through this.
You described my symptoms exactly. Had stage 4 head and neck cancer and this levator ani pain is worse! Out of my mind pain when it occurs! Heat will relieve my pain, but the 4-5 minutes to heat rice bag in microwave is absolute agony. I hope you find relief. You are not alone!
@@lotsofthisandthat9791they say it’s a burning pain?? is it?
It's a stabbing with broken glass pain, I have it 24/7.. This shit started in 1993 with IBS. Now pelvic floor and this pain in too fucking much
Why is she so happy about this
Exoixx right. That smile is weird. 🤨
🤣🤣
Some people smile when they're nervous
LOOOOL
Why the fuck should she frown ?!!!! 😡
I have had this for 13 months. On opiods for pain. Can't sit without pain and driving is hell. Been to the ER over & over & over before colorectal surgeon diagnosed it as Levator Ani. After a movement it is the worst. They recommended physical therapy but I haven't gone. Cannot get prescribed anything but Tramadol for it. I take fiber to avoid constipation. The only time Im not in pain is when I sleep. Tramadol only gets rid of part of the pain.
Dear All,
Here below is the potential remedy which I have personally tried and felt big relief.
1. After every meal or breaksfast (after 30 mins of your meal), drink warm water 2 glass full. Water has to be Warm.
2. Do not eat foods which can produce gases in your body like beans, lentils, milk, brocoli, salad etc.
From my understanding, this proctaligia problem is assciated with the Vatta Dosha in Ayurveda, due to gases/air generated in the body due to indigestion.
Gases could be the main reason for buttock/hip spasm , and drinking water after meal reduces/dissolves these gases.
Please do it for 10 days and let me know if you feel any relief.
Best Regards,
MK
I will start tonight, sounds like a good suggestion thank you very much
These are the issues I'm having
Im getting that severe pain only at nite.. Unbearable lasts for 30mts...
@@Roja21701 same here, I've notice that specially around menstruation time it's more active and generally happens at night. Also what I do now is, when I feel sensation at the beginning I immediately take gas relief medicine and helps alot. It stops it. I went to Doctor and did several tests including colonoscopy they couldn't find anything. They didn't even diagnose or give any name to this symptom. I got really frustrated that's why I myself tried this method and it's been working, it's not %100 proof but it works on me. Now I have gas med every where with me. Hope this helps you. Hope we all can get rid of this awful and embarrassing pain.
What to eat , please help me and how to contact you!?
I used to have this nasty attack once a week or two. I think I kind of found the treatment which works for me. everyday I reach my butt cheeks with my hands and try to open them apart as much as I can for around 20-30 sec. I do this in the shower. It has been more than 6 month since I started this exercise and it has never come back.
Am gonna try
@@lctamoya Yup, can confirm, it's working 100% for me.
@@ghenkhoash2440 would be awesomebif it help because my country has run out of buscopan
I will try this. Thank you!
I will try this I have been in severe pain 10 out of 10 off and on all day long every single day of my life for 3 weeks I have been in the ER four times and 9 days for tons of morphine I can't take it anymore and I can't live like this anymore
I am absolutely in love with her ❤️
This pain spreads to your thigh and pelvis area too at times you can also feel it in your lower back .. urinate or bowel movement cause pain as well I haven’t experienced this until I got in a bad car accident… my pelvis got dislocated and I broke the right side of my sacrum
I find that drinking hot tea gives some mild relief. I used to take co-codomol but by the time it kicked in the pain was subsiding so it wasn’t instant enough plus I don’t like the groggy feeling it gives me. It’s definitely associated to stress and tiredness.
Thank you for this .... what doctor do I go for consultation/treatment? My pain was sudden as I sat on toilet seat and it was excruciating during the 30 minutes before pain relaxed ( I almost fainted from pain & don't want it to recur).
Hi I've got the same problem, first I went to family physician and she referred me to gastro physician and he did several test, including colonoscopy. But even he couldn't diagnose it, now after watching this video I'm shocked how come he doesn't know this. Anyway, since I feel like gas is forming in my stomach and gets harder and harder (gas starts to gets tighter and tighter) and slowly and painfully tries to move down to rectum but can't escape and that's when the pick point of pain starts, as if there's a huge coconut or golf ball has been shoved. Oh God the pain!! Anyway than I started keeping journal when it happens and what food makes it worst. After that I came to conclusion that it's a gas. So I started avoid gassy food like cauliflower, broccoli, beans, dairy, also don't sit all the time, try to move as soon as possible and main thing is when you're getting this sensation at the beginning take gas x medicine, oh God it helped me alot. And also instead of normal or cold water if possible make a habit of drinking warm water. And massage the stomach when you fill like bloating. Please know that I'm not a doctor nor the doctor advise me this but when you go through such an awful pain you want to try anything and finger cross 🤞 it's been working on me. It's not the %100 proof but it worked on me. Hope we all can get rid of this awful and embarrassing pain.
@@2sweet2 , never thought about gas issues but now I can watch out for it and to drink warm water. I haven't had the pain thing since that first experience though a few times I feared it was coming but didn't. Didn't know others were experiencing pain up there.
I have pelvic floor with constipation and now I'm at the point where I get this sharp glass knife stabbing pain internally 24/7, it's a nightmare and the GI doctors don't really know what to do anymore
where is the treatment?i could not see
I went to a gastro specialist and she told me that they have no clue how people get this, or how to cure it. She found the area that is painful and suggested that I take warm to hot baths a few times a day. Instead I bought a heating pad and use this and it does the same thing.
how is the pain of levator ani? pain around anus or burning, or is it moderate to severe pain in rectum? i’m confused as i’ve got hemorrhoids and don’t know if it’s them or Levator ani ;(
It's a constant pain while sitting only. I cannot sit without a dull aching pain. It's been 2 years now.@@peterobrien2537
Why is she smiling all the time? Most of the people watching this are having severe pelvic pain, what's the point of this constant stupid smile? This is a serious, life-ruining condition.
Utku lol I guess some sort of reinsurance
Me suffering from too tight pelvic floor muscles from past 5 years😫😫
R Co I agree with you 100% I have proctologist’s fugax I be having sudden attack sometimes when they do happen it happens for like 4 or 5 seconds but there has ben times when the pain last for like 5 mins it’s so painful!! I can’t even move because it will just hurt more During the attack 😢😢 I’m only 21 I do drywall construction I never had this when I was a kid or as teen I notice the paining happing when I was like 19 or 20 I believe I still be having pains till this day. I hope they make a cure or something to make this pain go away permanently it affects me from working or doing daily task that’s how painful it is
Because she can
@@ArrKoKo I pray to God to make it stop when it happens. Sometimes I panic that it won’t end. True horrible pain. I had cancer in my neck and radiation and that wasn’t as bad as these attacks! I hope you find relief!
Same here will consult dr
I had it and cured with chelated magnesium. Good luck guys...Even my depression is gone.
How , is it the same as calm magnesium?
Please respond I wanna hear advice
@@bayleymott6502 Yes
@@Naturelife-ph3oi the regular magnesium may givr you GI problem. But chelated one will not. So you can take up to 600 mg a day.
Thank you for your comment! I’ll try anything at this point
Except illegal drugs ! So thank you so !
I was laying in bed and out of nowhere my booty hole got a sharp pain in it and oh my lord it felt like someone shot a paintball in my butt.
Thank god it doesnt last more than 5 seconds
@@emafrancisco1808 that shit lasted an hour!
Did you ever get relief??
😂😂 Though funny, it's no joke.
My pain is 24/7. Docs are clueless don't know what to do. IBS started in 1993 rectal sharp pain in 2006. It's 2024 and still no relief.
Rebalance phycical therapy, I liked her video. That's the name of the producer Rectal pain the video
I am 38 now. Forst time this ever happend to me i was about 8-9. Woke me up out of my sleep. I remember sitting on the toilet and the side of the tub crying my eyes out in pain. I have about 6 - 10 episodes a year. As i dealt with this i started to see trigger patterns. If i slept with my legs a certain way. Ejaculation, bowel movements, and sometimes out of thin air. It happens with bowel movements normally when i make myself go, if i really really have to go it hardley ever happens then. The pain starts out dull on the left side of my rectum and the increases to pain that will bring hulk to his knees then it dies down then pain repeats pattern on the right side of my rectum. This xan take anywhere from 20-40 minutes. There are other times that i feel the pain starting and i can massage my scrotum and it will go away before peaking in pain.

Why does it happen anyway brush what is this
Once a week is nice. I have a dull ache slightly above my anus that never leaves. It subsides a bit when I exercise but the pain gets really bad when I sit for too long.
I have been dealing with this pain for three years I’ve always had IBS and got constipated and strain too hard and started having the rectal pain than a mini doctors no one knows the cause they say they did do hemorrhoid surgery last November 2020 sharp pain went away but still have a lot of pressure any suggestions on how to make this discomfort go away? I went to pelvic floor Therapy and it didn’t help please advise if you can
Few remedies for pain relif:
Take warm water Hip bath
Daily massage your head with coconut oil
Avoid Dairy products or consume less
Do daily simple physical exercise, Plank, Push ups and leg raise
Drink at least 4-5 liter water
Walk at least 15-20 minutes
Take lot of fiber content foods
If you're in anxiety, depressions this pain will increase gradually so do meditation or try armo therapy and relax mind.
Also avoid sitting for long time during work, take often break and walk
I'm doing this all, from My personal experience this pain will decrease gradually and now I'm feeling better,
Everything due to mind only you consult a good psychiatrist better Homeo and take only for that. You will get relief
hey, how are you currently feeling?
hi @Janetnielsen4350 how are you doing now? i’m also going for hemorrhoid surgery please update thanks :)
What kind of doctor do you see ?
Where is the treatment????
Where is the treatment??
Anyhow She is pretty n smiley.
Pelvic floor exercises from chiro video helped but it didn't last.
How is bunching up of the rectum repaired?
That's a good question. Too bad that the doctors don't seem to review the comments, in order to reply to the questions.
Steven because doctors truly and honestly have no cure.
I believe I have it . I have a itchy outside rectal area . Any help ?
Tom Nolan do you have still pain?
I have rectal pain with menstruation please explain?
My suggestion is to see a doctor. Please don't rely on online medications. It may worsen it.
Sheena... It could be endometriosis. Mine is extreme pain like this also.
Omg! Same 😢😢 when I menstruated I felt so badly in my butt . I feel pain when I poop and badly pain in my anus inside 😭😭😭😢
@@ianahmaegambuta4513 me too. Sometimes I even fail to push due to strong pain inside my anus.
I was referred to a gastroenterology doctor for this, but shouldn't I see my OBGYN?
I hope you found the help you needed. I have been there done that it hurts so bad with me
Please kindly 🙏 visit Pakistan 🇵🇰 also
Please help me
Got It " ALL " for year but last 6 month's. Liver n kidney as well constipation. No Exercise.
Hi
Hi
When I feel another attack coming there's nothing better than two hot water bottles (if you still can move...) one between legs and the other one under your feet! Or:
Sit on the toilet if possible, try to press carefully and put a very hot water bottle under your feet.
That helps me a lot.
Sit on the toilet???? 😳 No! Just thinking about my booty being exposed
Duffer type smiling
When I menstrual came I felt so badly pain when I poop 😭😢 pain inside my anus 😭 what can I do
Same
Here
Your so pretty
Yes I guess it worth a visit to the doctor they can look for problems
I really can say that some people I work with are literally a pain in the ass.
This pain is no joke
Will that's also cause thin stools?
hey I believe that is correct, it is with me anyway, I got my doctor to prescribe 2mg Valium tablet or Diazeoam, which is controlling it, now searching for a fix
no, its extremely difficult, I can only tell you at this point the problem seems to have something to do with the general stress level I have, more stress more occurrences, lately the occurrences have been low as my stress level is also low,
A fix is going to be difficult as I have been misdiagnosed on multiple occasions with numerous problems including lol, IBS , which is a diagnostic you seem to get when no one knows whats wrong, turns out that is was a sensitivity to corn related products, thickener 1422 , maize, corn starch and many others, Which i was causing me great stress because When i was having a reaction to corn i would get bad diarrhoea during the day then causing many cases of the "proctalgia fugax" pain at night, A vicious cycle of being open then shut. ewww. Doctors know of proctalgia fugax as I have asked a couple about it but have no Idea how to stop it.
I would recommend your own journey of checking your diet, staying away from ingredients lists that have lots of number related ingredients rather than natural ones. If you have a corn problem you have to stay away from Gluten free products as they load it up with corn when they take away the gluten, So i am "gluten free intolerant" lol
The treatment seems to be caring for yourself at this point, eating more natural products and less processed crap, massages and less stress, oh and Valium in the top draw for 1 am emergencies as Valium relaxes mussels. homeopathy also helped a lot for my general health and in identifying the corn thing.
You can message me whenever you want as I get the notification.
@@eilishkane3066 The proctalgia fugax occurrences are mainly just horrible pain with temporary constipation, for 20 minutes to an hour, usually at night.
My ass is killing me 😭
Why she is smiling 🙄
When I move I feel that something will fall from my anus but I touch I have nothing no hémorroïde nothing !!! I feel depressed about that , I got it from excessive masturbation
Same here. I’ve just decided to stop masturbating all together. I notice it started feeling like a knife was stabbing my anus and it ruined a sexual encounter for me
