Answer revealed 🚨
PROCTALGIA FUGAX
What it is:
A brief, intense spasm of the pelvic floor muscles around the re**um. The pain can be severe but usually lasts seconds to minutes and then disappears. In some cases it can last hours.
Why it happens:
It’s often linked to pelvic floor muscle tension or spasms. Stress, constipation, long periods of sitting, or underlying pelvic floor dysfunction can all play a role. Hormonal changes always play a role.
What you can do:
✨ Gentle pelvic floor relaxation (not Kegels!)
✨ Deep diaphragmatic breathing
✨ Warm baths or a heating pad
✨ Address constipation and straining
✨ Pelvic floor physical therapy for recurrent episodes
It can be painful, but it’s common, and often treatable. You don’t have to just “live with it.”
