A member asked:
Went #2 today and it burned around my anus and it tightened up and sort of closed up and hasn't opened up again. what's wrong?

Spasm: Your sphincter is a muscle, and like any muscle will do, when it's irritated, it will tighten up. As your sphincter is a circular muscle, it thus 'closes up'! heat, softer bm's, some otc numbing meds will help--if it persists, see your doc!
