Sharp pains in anus

im 38 yrs nw and i have been experiencing this sharp pain for more than 7 yrs nw, drinking plenty of water has actually dropped the rate but i get it atleast once after 3 moths.air is also causing it for me once i fat i feel better. its an unberable pain yhoo very sharp if it can last for more than 5 seconds i would die really

The same thing happens to me. it comes every once in a while and it really hurts so bad. it only comes at night when i'm dead asleep. but i'm still worried and might see a Dr. soon because i'm tired of that pain.

Hey I'm a 27 y old male, I've been experiencing this Sharp pain right at the entrance of the anus... This is very awkward and makes me shy to talk about it.. I will go to the doctor if the pain reaches 6/10 in a 10/10 scale.. for now its not the intensity of pain its more the disconfort, I feel the urge to scratch the itch aswell when the Sharp pain strikes.. First time I remembre having this I associated it with hangover, and alcohol. But now that's not na option. I read here something about the feces..and I think that might me one of the main reasons..you dont want your feces hard and big or they will (in this hypothesis) wound your anus and then result in Sharp pains.. I think this might have somethin to do with it.. Hope it helps , so, eat more ''vegetarian'' to improve digestion and feces quality . (by the way, I've been doing a ''diet'' and been eating lots of meat and dairy products and not so much veggies so it supports the hypothesis )  peace!

Hi, I get this pain a lot but for me it is like the pain right at the tip of the anus comes when I have severe pain in other parts of my body, it feels like it is lots of nerve endings going into spasm it is really an awful experience.  As I do suffer with lots of other things I get this pain quite often, how can I explain better what I mean, "I sometimes suffer with leg ulcers and if when the dressing needs to be changed and it has stuck to the ulcer then when I rip it off then there is pain in the area of ulcer obiously but then I will immediately get the pain in my anus, the spasms used to only last 2-3 minutes but the seem to be getting longer now and unfortunately I can not relate it to my diet etc in any way whastoever, would be happy to know if anyone else can relate to my description of the spasms etc!!

I Ate Popcorn And Sonflower Shell's BEFORE This Started Happening 3 Days Ago. LAst Time I Ate Popcorn Was A Week Ago, And Im Still Digesting It. It Hurt's Very Badly, To Where The Point I Tear Up.

This can be something very serious, and you should comsult a physician ASAP, but most likely it is Prostalgia Fugax which are unexplainable pains as u described. Ive been dealing with this too. Last night I slept for about an hour, because I spent 5 hours in agonizing pain from this. Best thing i have found is to turn on a very hot shower and stand there with ur ass directly in the stream of water. Usually they only last a few minutes but last night was bad. Please get it checked out though, just to rule out diverticulitis, colom cancer, prostate cancer, chrons disease.

I haven't slept for days.... The pain is unbareable and I'm so exhausted. My pain is similar to the first few. I have slight pain during the morning and afternoon but at night it's a whole other ball game. I soaked in baths, ice packed it, lidocained it, used tucks for a week, pushed this tiny ball back into my rectum, sat Up, layed down and done everything I can think of. Read about treating heammaroids and even thought about rubber banding it too. Still might try it. I'm desperate. I need sleep but I swear when I fall asleep no more than 30 minutes pass and I'm woke up by knife jabbing pain in my anus. Feels like I'm being cut open. Brings tears to me. Then I layed here for a minute and could. Feel my pulse in my anus. I'm so tired of the pain. I still feel like it is a heammaroid because of the tiny ball but it also hurts beyond that. Feels like maybe I have a fissula and a heammaroid because the pain travels in what feels like a line or a vein or something. I am 28 no stds and have been with my husband for 14 years (both faithful). I just need to know how to stop the pain. Yes I have strained my entire life to have a bowel movement but this is the first time in my life I've ever had a problem with my rectum ever. It's too new to me. I've been like this for about 5 days now.

Meat is really bad. This is the first time I have experience this sharp pain. I have hemorrhoids. I have also changed my diet and eat a little bit of beef but mostly poultry and vegetarian once a week.I didn't experienced this before even if I ate plenty ofbeef, it was after I changed my diet and while overeate beef and being mostly seating down for that day. Pain lasted just seconds. I  hope this helps.

I am a 53 yr old male. I'd say I have a fairly good diet with plenty of fruit and veg every day. I drink lager- but once a week - I don't think I go overboard. I exercise 4-5 times a week.

I've got one big worry!! One/Two three times per month I am woken at night with a severe anal pain - intense discomfort - as if I had digested a large bottle of glue and it has worked its way through my digestive system to the anus where it has stopped. There may or may not be gas which is finding its way out of my system blocked. Also I will have a "full" feeling in the bowel and wish I could go to the loo where a movement would immediately relieve the problem, (it always does). But usually I have to suffer and wait til next day. Eating late in the evening or night always makes the problem more likely to occur or worse.

I've discussed this with my doctor- he has checked me for fissure (negative), I've had a hospital "Look inside" where nothing was reported and now I take (sometimes) stool softening medicine. I do still wonder if this could be internal piles or polyps?

Maybe there is something obvious which I am not seeing - would appreciate suggestions - Thanks.

Hello I'm that same 53yr old male again-I should have said I've also had a scan in case problem might have been related to prostate-enlarged or otherwise-but result was that there was no such abnormality. thankfully. Still wondering what problem is and keen to get treatment.

I thought i was the only one to have this pain, i am 16 years old and ever now and then, im not going to lie, but it feels like a knife id being shoved up my ass. it only lasts 1-3 seconds but it is very sharp and it makes me have a type of spasm. im glad to know that i am not the only one with this problem.

i remember having that in my 20s now im 50 and had it again
i think no exercise can keep the muscles weaker too, not sure, it can come back after a year

Hello everybody. I don't know how long these little spasms have lasted for, but I know I get them rarely but not too rarely. A long time ago, I visited the doctor- and he seemed very confused and he just said maybe drink more water. Now all my friends drink tiny amounts, and I drink regulary. ( I know it's random) But my old friend from primary had it too. This is probably IMPORTANT, but I have something called Encoperisis; this is a thing I have had for years and has caused me to suffer and have agony. It leads to constipation too./Now for the the describing part. It always happpens at night, I can't remember the last time I had it during the day. It feels as if, every few minutes, I have small spasms up there. It's incredibly P.A.I.N.F.U.L...... it doesnt last more than an hour, and it's not constant, like, it goes, comes, coes and then exxtremem pain. Then it goes, comes back etc. I do do plenty of exercise, I have a reasonable diet, pleanty of pottasium, but this Encoperisis thing and also these small attacks, stop me from doing alot of things. My enco started at a very very young age. I couldn't walk, couldn't concentrate, I left class every 10 miutes for the toilet, I couln't run, do p.e, go to sleepovers....

PLEASe reply.... I just really want to stop this!

I get these pains. from every few weeks. to a month a part. it like i got a cut in my intestines right before the asswhole. or there like a rock there. and it happens for days when it does it to me. gives me mild disconfert. but always there. and randomly the pain woll turn ip a few notches. and then stab. a jolt of quick fast pain. and i am like ahhhh. and jerk from it. i have been to a doctor for it. they have do ideal what it is.

I get the butt spasms omg! Brutal! I found applying therapeutic oil of peppermint from tailbone up to waist, then deep breathing relaxes the muscles as does tapping the butt cheeks with your fingers ! Tapping diffuses pain signals! Thanks everyone for sharing I felt alone in this painful experience!
