Proctalgia fugax.

Proctalgia fugax. Postgrad Med. 1996 Apr;99(4):263-264 Authors: Babb RR Abstract Preview Severe, episodic pain in the rectum may prompt extensive- and expensive- diagnostic testing. If the cause is proctalgia fugax, such testing is unnecessary and wasteful. The author, a gastroenterologist, offers a guide to prompt recognition of the disorder based on patient history and suggests several therapeutic stategies that may help to relieve the pain.
