Hi. I'm the one who posted above you. I found out that it's worms. It may not be the same for you, but you can take OTC Reeses Pinworm medication and see if anything comes out.  It's safe to take. I hope that's not your problem, but it is mine, and I started out vibrating.

I HAVE A SOLUTION!  You need to be taking PROBIOTICS!!!!  

I've been suffering from this vibrating/buzzing since Thanksgiving.  Chiro didn't know what's wrong.  He did adjust my tail bone, but had no other ideas.  I visited the chiro again to ask him to check to see if my tail bone or back was out again because someone said one adjustment might not do it because it doesn't always stay put in the first time (if in fact that was the reason for my buzzing).  My tailbone was out again.  But that wasn't the problem because it made no difference. He also checked the Ileocecal Valve like someone else suggested on here, but that wasn't the problem, either.   On another visit, he checked the psoas muscle and iliopsoas. Nothing was wrong except the iliopsoas muscle hurt when he pushed on it and he gave me stretches for it.  But I don't think that had anything to do with the problem.

When I was about to leave, he asked if I was on any medications.  I said I used to be on an antibiotic (amoxicillin) for strep for 10 days, and when that medication didn't work, I was on azithromycin for 6 days after that.  I was on antibiotics for a total of 16 days, and I started the vibrating just maybe 2 days after getting off the antibiotics .I've never been on them for that long before.  

He said that may be causing the buzzing because it's messing with your intestines and flora in the gut and he told me to take probiotics.  I said I had been taking like 5 or 6 pills of probiotics already just in case that would help and he said well, you need to be taking them for months to get back the good bacteria that the antibiotics took away.  (I did notice I was getting better after taking only those 5 or 6 pills)...I just didn't know for sure what pill was working for me, since I was taking Vit D and B, bananas, and Magnesium and stuff, too.

So I've been taking them everyday for 2 weeks so far and I rarely feel the buzzing anymore!  Today I felt it once or twice, but it never lasts more than a few seconds.  And I tend to mainly feel them now when I get out of my car from driving somewhere, but the feeling is gone very soon.   (When the buzzing first started, I was feeling them every two seconds, all day long, almost nonstop, for about a week).

The Probiotics that I take are these (Ultimate Flora, 30 billion) http://www.renewlife.com/ultimate-flora-extra-care-30-billion.html.  My chiro suggested that I get an antibiotic called Acidophilus in liquid form because they're the best kind and have to be refrigerated, but I went to several stores and couldn't find it.  But there's acidophilus in the Ultimate Flora.  

I hope this helps!!  I'm a 30 year old female.

I'm almost certain that for the men this has something to do with the prostate.

I have had this sensation twice - once when I had BPM ( Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) or Prostatitis, and after having a kidney stone extraction for a stone that was lodged near the prostate.

I believe that the sensation could be from nerve spasms or from urine passing by a slightly swollen prostate.  For me, the symptoms disappeared after healing.  Other men may wish to have a prostate examination.

Mine just started today. I was laying on my back when it started. Weird, never happened before. I do have exposed hemmeroids n maybe this has something to do with it. I am however convinced it is not anything serious, so we should stop worring. Seems we are not alone. If it were serious I am sure one of you would have seen it in a response by now. Lots of Docters do care. I'm gonna try a hot sitzth bath, meaning just relaxing mr body in hot water and massage , for men only, my prostrate to see if it helps. Will repost with results. STOP panicking, k. Guaranteed it is a small thing. Louie
