Natural, Lasting Relief from Sudden Rectal Pain — Without Drugs or Surgery
Have you experienced sudden, intense rectal pain that strikes without warning—only to vanish within minutes? You’re not imagining it. This condition is known as Proctalgia Fugax, and it silently impacts the lives of many.
At Savannah Pelvic Health & Wellness in Pooler, we specialize in addressing the root causes of this distressing condition using gentle, evidence-based physical therapy. If you’re struggling with random, unexplained rectal pain, we’re here to help you find relief—naturally.
What Is Proctalgia Fugax?
Proctalgia Fugax is a functional anorectal pain condition that typically presents as:
- Sudden, sharp, or cramping pain in the rectum or anus
- Episodes lasting from a few seconds to several minutes
- Occurring without warning, often at night or while resting
- No visible cause or damage during physical exams
While not life-threatening, Proctalgia Fugax can be extremely disruptive—both physically and emotionally—especially when it occurs frequently.
What Causes Proctalgia Fugax?
Though no single cause is confirmed, the condition is often linked to a combination of factors, including:
- Pelvic floor muscle spasms or chronic tension
- Nerve hypersensitivity or irritation
- Internal scarring from surgery or trauma
- Anxiety, stress, or nervous system imbalance
- Poor bowel habits, including straining
- History of childbirth or pelvic injury
At Savannah Pelvic Health & Wellness, we don’t just treat symptoms. We take a whole-body approach—identifying the underlying dysfunctions that may be causing or contributing to your pain.
