  https://www.memorialradonc.com/ano-rectal-pain/

  Radiation-induced ano-rectal pain refers to discomfort or pain in the anal and rectal regions resulting from radiation therapy. This occurs because radiation can cause inflammation and irritation of the sensitive tissues lining the anus and rectum. Typically, this pain may start to develop 3-4 weeks after the beginning of radiation treatment, as the cumulative effects of radiation begin to impact the healthy cells in the treatment area. […] Proactive care can significantly alleviate discomfort and improve your quality of life during treatment. […] While radiation-induced ano-rectal pain may not be entirely preventable, these strategies can help minimize its impact: […] Discuss your medical history with your radiation oncologist, including any existing anorectal conditions. […] Begin gentle skin care practices before starting radiation therapy. […] Maintain a diet that supports healthy bowel function. […] Stay well-hydrated to promote tissue health. […] Use proper techniques during bowel movements to reduce pressure on the rectal area.

  https://patient.info/digestive-health/proctalgia-fugax-and-anal-pain-leaflet

  If you have levator ani syndrome, you get an aching pain high up in your back passage. It tends to be worse when you are sitting down, and walking around can make it feel better. The pain is constant or regular, and lasts (unlike proctalgia fugax) for longer than 20 minutes. It continues, either constantly or on and off, for months. […] Options include: Biofeedback therapy. This is a type of therapy whereby you learn how to relax your pelvic floor muscles. […] Most options require you to be referred to a specialist for advice and for the treatment to be arranged. […] Proctalgia fugax doesn’t usually affect your life too much. Once your doctor has established nothing more serious is the cause then it is usually an occasional problem for most people. […] Levator ani syndrome can, however, have a significant impact on your life. It can wake you up at night, and prevent you doing things that involve sitting. This can get in the way of work, and leisure activities such as cycling, for example. It can, for some people, really interfere in the quality of life, and so for those people, yes it can be serious. […] The conditions proctalgia fugax and levator ani syndrome are what is left when all these causes have been ruled out. They are a „diagnosis of exclusion”, meaning there is no specific test for them, and that all other possible causes must be ruled out first.

• #1 Chronic anal pain: A review of causes, diagnosis, and treatment | Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine

  https://www.ccjm.org/content/89/6/336

  Chronic anal pain is difficult to diagnose and treat, especially with no obvious anorectal cause apparent on clinical examination. This review identifies 3 main diagnostic categories for chronic anal pain: local causes, functional anorectal pain, and neuropathic pain syndromes. Conditions covered within these categories include proctalgia fugax, levator ani syndrome, pudendal neuralgia, and coccygodynia. The signs, symptoms, relevant diagnostic tests, and main treatments for each condition are reviewed. […] Clinicians armed with a relatively basic knowledge of possible diagnoses and treatments for chronic anal pain can make a specific diagnosis and initiate treatment even without a complex evaluation. […] The key to diagnosis of chronic anal pain is to first exclude specific diseases and then to make a positive diagnosis, which will guide management. It is important to manage patient expectations because outcomes are variable even with a specific diagnosis. For patients with intractable pain despite treatment, referral to a specialist in pain management is recommended. It is important, however, to first clarify the diagnosis and exhaust treatments to avoid the uncertainty caused by parallel or conflicting management strategies.

Treatments include a high-fiber diet, which may include over-the-counter fiber supplements (25-35 grams of fiber/day); over-the-counter stool softeners; warm tub baths (sitz baths) for 10 to 20 minutes, a few times per day; and several types of medication to help ease bowel movements.

  https://www.healthline.com/health/anus-pain

  Anal pain can have a variety of causes. […] You can help prevent this type of pain. […] It may not always be possible to prevent anal pain. But there are things you can do to reduce your risk: Stay hydrated. Drink at least 64 ounces of water per day to make your stool easier to pass. Sit with good posture.
