A related discussion,
proctalgia fugax or not???? was started.
Hi:
Unfortunately, there is no specific medication to treat proctalgia fugax. This is because the symptoms are very brief (usually less than 5 minutes) and occur at times which we cannot predict. There really is no benefit in taking pain medications because the pain is relatively short-lived and the costs (both in money and in side-effects) probably don't outweigh the benefits.
Sorry!

Hi:
Unfortunately there are no specific medications for proctalgia fugax. This is because the symptoms are usually brief (less than 5 minutes) and transient (come-and-go w/no regularity). I would not advise taking pain medication because the costs (money and side-effects) don't outweigh the benefits. I wouldn't advise taking pain relievers at the onset of symptoms because it'll take about 30 minutes to get some pain relief, and, by that time, the pain will have subsided.
Sorry!
