<h1>Levator Ani Syndrome: A Real Pain in the Butt!</h1>
&nbsp;by: D. HerrenLevator ani
syndrome is one cause of chronic pelvic pain. The typical symptoms of
levator ani syndrome include rectal butt spasms, rectum pain and
tightness, and a sensation of fullness. It is sometimes associated with
proctalgia fugax, which is defined as a short, sharp pain in the
rectum. Levator ani syndrome, on the other hand, tends to be more
constant pain. The pain is located in the pelvic floor muscles in the
rectum, mainly the levator ani muscle. The root cause is
pelvic floor muscle tension or myalgia. In simple terms, it is muscle
knots in the internal walls of the rectum. These &quot;knots&quot; are usually
referred to as trigger points. When these tiny knots are active, they
can cause great pain and a sensation of tightness and burning in the
rectal area. This is typical of levator ani syndrome. Common Levator Ani Syndrome Symptoms<ul>	<li>Rectal Pain and Burning	</li><li>Rectal tightness and muscle spasm</li></ul>What is the treatment for Levator Ani Syndrome?The
common types of treatment for levator ani syndrome are usually muscle
relaxants, hot baths, and proper diet and exercise. In most cases,
there is an underlying element of chronic stress and anxiety which
causes these muscles to tighten up and spasm. This pelvic floor muscle
tension causes pain and burning. In order for most cases of levator ani
syndrome to be resolved, trigger point therapy or internal massage on
the levator ani/rectal muscles can bring great relief. The treatment
itself can be very painful, but the overall relief from treatment can
be felt almost immediately.
