Sometimes one can hardly hold in the urge to urinate when it arises, If one is in a movie theatre, or at a sports event etc., one usually sits in an aisle seat to be prepared to exit easily, Urinary urgency and frequency can deprive patients of sleep because of how often they wake up during the night or because they have difficulty going back to sleep after they wake up, Sitting is one of the great sufferings and scares in pelvic pain and makes all aspects of normal life difficult, Patients often look for the padded seats in a restaurant because sitting is so uncomfortable, Sitting pain can make it miserable to sit with friends or family and socialize, Difficult to fly or drive for any distance without pain, Sometimes patients have to go on disability because they cant work because their job is a sitting job, Sitting can trigger or exacerbate discomfort/pain/symptoms and can hurt in the front, back of the pelvis, or both, Sitting pain usually starts out milder in the morning but increases after sitting through the day, and can last into the night, Relief after a bowel movement occurs when the tight pelvic muscles relax, Discomfort after a bowel movement can be particularly disconcerting if it triggers symptoms more strongly for the rest of the day, Little is written about this symptom when it occurs in the absence of hemorrhoids or anal fissures, but in our experience it is common, The mechanism of defecation typically involves the filling up of the rectum with stool, which then sends a signal for the internal anal sphincter and puborectalis muscle to relax and triggers the experience of urgency to have a bowel movement, Once the stool passes through the relaxed anal sphincter and out of the body, the internal anal sphincter reflexively closes, When someone has pelvic pain and exacerbation of symptoms after a bowel movement, we propose that the internal anal sphincter tends to over close, That is, it tightens up more than it was tight before the bowel movement and sometimes appears to go into a kind of painful spasm, Post bowel movement pain appears to occur less frequently when someone is relaxed and not hurried, and whatever contributes to a more relaxed state during a visit to the bathroom may reduce this symptom, Resolving post bowel movement pain in our patients tends to occur as their entire chronic pelvic muscle tension releases, Reduced interest in sex is common with pelvic pain, In muscle related pelvic pain, there is typically no pathology of the physical structures involved in sexually activity, Our view is that reduced libido is a mix of anxiety, reduced self-esteem and pelvic pain which all mitigate against sexual arousal and sexual interest, and resolution of pain and dysfunction of the pelvic muscles usually resolves reduced libido, The scariest part of pelvic pain is the catastrophic thought that it will never go away, It is a focus that distract your attention away from your life and with many patients, paints an unacceptable future, Depression involves the feeling of helplessness in being able to do anything about what feels critically wrong in ones life, When one is in the throes of pelvic pain, the thought that it will never go away triggers depression in many patients, Where doctors cannot help and one sees no light at the end of the tunnel, depression and/or anxious depression is the rule rather than the exception, Pain in the anal sphincter, levator ani and other pelvic muscles above the anal sphincter, Constant or irregular pain that can feel like something is lodged in the rectum, Pressing inside the anal sphincter or above is painful, Pain is typically on one side or another but can be central, Sometimes temporarily relieved by hot baths and benzobiazetis, No conventional treatments resolve this syndrome, Sometimes (not always) associated with constipation/IBS, Hot water or heat often helps temporarily, The family of drugs called benzodiazepines can often relieve symptoms for a few hours and are helpful when used skillfully, Benzodiazepines are addictive and when used regularly for pelvic pain, they can lose their effectiveness, Benzodiazepines typically make the user tired and should not be used when driving or having to be alert, Naps, or vacations can sometimes help reduce pain.
