Natural, Lasting Relief from Sudden Rectal Pain Without Medication or Invasive Procedures
Have you experienced sudden, intense rectal pain that seems to come out of nowhere—then disappears just as quickly? You’re not imagining it. This condition is called Proctalgia Fugax, and it affects many people in silence.
At Reborn Pelvic Health & Wellness, we specialize in treating the underlying causes of this mysterious pain using gentle, research-based physical therapy techniques. If you’re in Utah and struggling with unpredictable rectal pain, we’re here to help you heal.
What Is Proctalgia Fugax?
Proctalgia Fugax is a functional anorectal pain disorder. It presents as:
- Sudden, sharp, cramping pain in the rectum or anus
- Lasting from a few seconds to several minutes
- Occurring randomly, often at night or during rest
- Without visible cause or physical damage
Although it’s not dangerous, Proctalgia Fugax can be frightening, disruptive, and emotionally draining, especially when it recurs regularly.
What Causes Proctalgia Fugax?
While no single cause is confirmed, several contributing factors have been identified:
- Pelvic floor muscle spasms or tension
- Nerve irritation or hypersensitivity
- Internal scar tissue or past trauma
- Stress, anxiety, and nervous system dysregulation
- Poor bowel habits or straining
- History of surgery or childbirth
At Reborn, we take a whole-body approach—looking beyond the symptoms to identify patterns and dysfunctions that contribute to recurring pain.

Absolutely fantastic!!! Every woman should know about this! I was experiencing UTI symptoms for several months and was diagnosed with painful bladder syndrome. I first heard about pelvic floor PT on Youtube and asked a friend who is a Doula about it. She recommended Betty DeLass. From the first visit she was able to recreate my symptoms and started working with me. I noticed improvements immediately. Seven sessions later and was practically symptom free. I go back in a week or two for a final session and then plan to get with her once a year for a little ‘tune-up”. Cannot say enough positive things about my experience. I highly recommend Betty!

I went in to see Dr. Betty for stress incontinence after having kids and the woman is a true magician. I can confidently run/jump/sneeze without leaking after a handful of appointments. I highly suggest seeing her asap. You won’t regret it.
