Sharp pains in anus

I googled this because i've been experiencing intense pain for the past couple of months. I'm 29 and the most intense episode landed me in the hospital with the doctors poking around not knowing what's wrong. The pains have become really intense now and even after a bowel movement it's still there. I cant cough or sneeze without having pain down there. I'm gonna take you guys advice and try to change my diet, hopefully that would help. Thanks

Hi everyone! I a 19 and have experienced these pains, and i find a hot drink, hotwater bottle and solpadine help. i went to te doctors and i had a rectal exam the doctor said it was a fissure which is a rip or scratch on the interstinal wall and she said there was nothing to cure it just to heal and the pain would come and go for about a month.  Mine has gone for now but changing diet does help, plenty of fibre!! Glad im not the only one!

Proctalgia fugax, google it

Hi everyone

 

I have had these spasms since I was a teenager (I am not in my 60s)  They are intense and last for about 20 minutes or so.  They are agony but harmless.  I have never found out what causes them.  They come usually at night but not always, and I have never found anything that makes them worse or better.  It's just a case of trying to keep calm till they pass.  Please don't worry, it is very common.

I have had this problem for almost 40 years and yes its a pain in the ass,it always happens to me at night the pain normally lasts for 5-10 min and sometimes all night i take Tylenol sometimes it works.I have a bowel movement every day,I eat good most of the time i never know when i will get it,also im in reasonably good shape,if you are worried about it go see your doctor.

i have it now.  so what is it?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proctalgia_fugax   , the medical term for the anal spasm . Speaks to the triggers, population statistics involved and the pressure or nitro spray treatments. 

What happened with your cat scan - you seem to have the same problem as I have. I hope you are alright now?

I went to the doctor and got inema, that will end it. You will feel so much better!

One word COLONOSCOPY.

I get the same thing.  I am 65 and am getting a colonoscopy in April.  I'll let you all know after I get the response.

Hello,

I'm 29 female and have only recently started experiencing acute pains in my rectum area. It's quite near the bone near my rectum where the pain intensifies. It happened in the morning shortly after making a smoothie of grapefruit, linseeds, apple, parsley and mint. I usually have this most mornings but have never experienced any thing until now. I am not sure if the fruit I had were infected with bacteria which may have caused it. I have known that the outside of fruit can be contaminated with bacteria spread from unhygienic workers etc. Actually, a handful of my friends have experienced food poisoning mostly from fruit and vegetables weirdly enough. 

Anyway, I had to sit on the loo for a few minutes, maybe 10 minutes, waiting for the pain to go as it would fluctuate from a numbing pain to an intense pain right by rectum bone area. It's so bizarre! 

After reading everyone's comments, I now realise that it may have something to do with me pushing a lot these past few days. Perhaps I have created pockets. However, I haven't been eating anything that would take a long time to digest. I have a lot of fibre in my diet, linseeds, sesame seeds, oats, brown rice and plenty of fresh vegetables. I eat an awful lot of dried fruit as well as exercise at least twice a week for an hour. So the only thing I can narrow it down to is stress or a bacteria from the fruit/vegetables I had been eating. 

I wonder if anyone has ever fallen ill after handling and eating an unwashed fruit or vegetable?

I am reading all these similar symptoms mixed in with what more than 10 doctors have told me for the last two years and 3 of them being Gastro Intorologists who went in with cameras, one said I had internal hemmrhoids, another said ulcers in the lining of the colon 2 months later than 3 weeks after that the other diagnosis is fissuring of the lining. The sharp pains are often when poop is backed up on deck along with a skin condition that has caused alot of itching in the area which causes the bleeding. Alot of it caused by stress i am told. I am at wits end here and i have lost about 30 pounds in four months and most of it in a month and a half. Followups and procedures cannot arrive soon enough when a grown man sits on the throne with tears that have the same success to come out as my sh*t.. other times it comes out right after i eat and lately more after my last colonoscopy. I am 35 years old and at times having anal discharge caused by infection and irritation, i have had to resort to all kinds of creams and medications and even using feminin pads so as to not have blood and stuff come out through my shorts. I am now working from home due to all of this and the pain is undeniably the worst feeling especially when doctors seem so eager to say, "well, you have got to stop scratching.. " man, if it was that easy, i would not be writing here to see if there is someone with similar history and actual result cause the health care with privatization has seemed to really become a faded image in the mirror copulated with the dancing with pharmacists or pharmaceuticals who pay doctors butt loads of money to almost guess the cure or ailment. Sorry to be soo critical but as i sit here as we speak in the pooper scared to wipe myself, i am tired. Sore. Discouraged and have even been depressed.
