throbbing anus

Internal hemorrhoid perhaps?

i got the same problem

I have it all the time. I finally broke down and asked for pain meds. I believe it is the muscle continuing to contract - because you were pushing for a while.

One person on this sight suggested squeeaing for 10 seconds and release - repeat until it feels better. This did help me, but sometimes mine just cant be helped.

Good luck.

I've had that too. My dr. told me it was rectal spasms. Not much you can do but ride it out. I've had them while I was just sitting in a chair watching tv. My uncle used to make fun of me, until the fates gave him one, wasn't so funny then

Sounds like spasms. Mine are more in the rectum and colon. So uncomfortable.
I find chamomile and tylenol helps.

I've always described it as dry heaving like MikeB... Never thought of it as throbbing. Been meaning to ask the GI but miraculously I always feel good a week or two leading up to my checkups and I don't think about it at the office.
