A Pain in the ***

Hi busy Doctors,

I'll keep it brief.. A sharp pain (makes me jump) in the *** that lasts a second or less, once or twice daily for a few months, totally independent of bowel movements.

Any ideas?!

Thanks.

Hi,
What you describe could be pain due to a condition called proctalgia fugax.
It could be treated with muscle relaxant and biofeedback techniques.
