A member asked:
My sphincter muscle has been twitching on and off the past few days. is this a sign of a serious condition? scared.

Not serious: i suspect you are talking about anal sphincter. If it does not abate in a couple of weeks, you may wish to consult your doctor. Take a fiber laxative and drink enough water to keep your stool soft.
