A member asked:
Every now and then my anus spasms. doesn't hurt or anything and only every so often but feels strange. more like a twitch really?

Can happen: If you don't have pain or bleeding, it is less worrisome. This may be either pelvic floor muscle spasm (levatorspasm) or early anal fissure (which is from spasm of the internal anal sphincter). Kegel exercises and warm baths help. Don't discount fiber supplements. If persists see a colorectal surgeon.
