Proctalgia Fugax

[Dr. Jitendra Agrawal]

The pain of proctalgia fugax is characteristically described as a
sudden, sharp or gripping, cramp-like pain in the anorectal area. The
pain does not radiate. Spontaneous relief occurs within seconds to
minutes, although rarely the pain can be present for hours. Onset
occurs after puberty and disappears by the age of 70. It occurs in
both males and females. The pain can occur at any time but has a
predilection for the nocturnal hours. Frequency is variable but, in
most affected persons, episodes of pain occur several times a year. A
