You have to be evaluated before confirming it as Idiopathic.
Idiopathic rectal pain called proctalgia fugax. due to muscles in the anal canal and pelvic floor tightening suddenly.
Some triggers are sexual activity, stress, constipation, passing stools, menstruation.
Oral diltiazem, topical glycerin trinytrate useful.
Please consult your doctor before taking drugs.
