A member asked:

I'm having a buzzing sensation in my lower abdomen and rectum, feels like fluttering or like a phone on vibrate. what could it be? please help? ty!

Muscular: More than likely these are harmless mild muscle contractions due to irritability of uncertain cause. You could try taking a magnesium supplement which often quiets muscle spasm. If symptoms persist, consult a rectal and colon surgeon for an examination.
