  1. proctalgia

    Proctalgia is a medical term that refers to severe, often fluctuating, rectal pain caused by muscle spasm in the pelvic floor. It is usually temporary and has no identifiable cause. There are two types: proctalgia fugax, which lasts for seconds or minutes, and levator ani syndrome, which can persist for hours. This condition is often difficult to treat and manage due to its intermittent nature.
