[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 278042, member: 3"] Here is an explanation of proctalgia fugax and anal fissure based on the search results: ## Proctalgia Fugax Proctalgia fugax is a condition characterized by sudden, severe pain in the rectum or anus that lasts for seconds to minutes, with no pain in between episodes. The exact cause is unclear, but it is believed to be due to spasms or contractions of the muscles in the anal canal or pelvic floor. [1][2][3][4] Some key points about proctalgia fugax: - It is a transient, fleeting pain that often occurs at night and can be severe enough to wake the patient from sleep. [1][2][3][4] - It is more common in women than men, and typically affects those between 30-60 years old. [1][2][3][4] - Potential triggers include stress, constipation, sexual activity, and menstruation, but episodes can also occur without an obvious trigger. [2][3][4] - It is considered a benign condition that does not require extensive testing or treatment, as the pain resolves on its own. [1][2][3][4] - Treatment focuses on managing symptoms through relaxation techniques, warm baths, and sometimes medications to relax the anal sphincter. [2][3][4] ## Anal Fissure An anal fissure is a small tear or crack in the lining of the anus, often caused by passing hard or large stools. [4] Key features of anal fissures: - The pain is typically worse during and after bowel movements. [4] - There may be visible bleeding from the fissure. [4] - Anal fissures can cause spasms of the anal sphincter muscle, leading to further pain and difficulty passing stools. [4] - Unlike proctalgia fugax, anal fissures are a structural abnormality that can be diagnosed on physical exam. [4] - Treatment often involves stool softeners, topical medications, and sometimes surgery for chronic or severe cases. [4] In summary, proctalgia fugax is a functional disorder causing sudden, severe rectal pain, while an anal fissure is a structural tear in the anal lining leading to pain, spasms, and bleeding with bowel movements.
