A member asked:

I have anal spasms every once in a while. they always happen in the middle of the night, and wake me from sleep. my dad has them too. what could cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anal spasms: There is no definite answer to this question. You may have some sort of inflammation in your rectum. If you say, your dad had it, wonder if there may be anything genetic that affected the muscle in your rectum. I believe a general practitioner may be a good first line doc to start with. Eventually, may need to be referred out to a specialist.
