A member asked:
While on my cycle at times when i have gas or a bm, i have a shooting pain in my anus. i get tense from the quick pains. they go away after bm. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle spasm: It's likely muscle spasm. During your period, the uterus is contracting and this releases prostaglandins locally, which may cause muscle spasms. Anti prostaglandin meds, like ibuprophen, may help.
