Spasms: These most likely are spasms of the levator muscles around the anal area and are quite painful although transient. Sitting on the toilet tends to relieve them after some minutes. These spasms are sudden and spontaneous and if they occur frequently try taking magnesium tablets. A proctologist May offer more insight and advice about this problem which is not rare.
