Have General Rectum Spasm, Sore Anus. Diagnosed With Anal Fissure. What Should Be Done?

A general spasm of rectum without any obvious local problem is a functional disorder called Proctalgia Fugax.
It will respond to SSRI group of medicines and baclofen combination, the dose and duration of which your physician will know.
Another important cause is, if you have fatty feel at anus and rectum, this leads to moistness that precipitates spasm. Answer to this problem is wash the region with soap water with local pressure of hand and dry it with a towel, wear thick cotton undergarments and do a dusting of medicated powders like Absorb OTC twice a day.
THIS WILL HELP YOU ENORMOUSLY IF THE MOISTNESS IS THE CAUSE.
Lastly I would like you to have a stool examination done to detect any infection in the rectum that can be a cause for the spasm. Get it ruled out or if found infected, it has to be treated accordingly.
Wish you a great health.
