Although anorectal symptoms are a common problem seen in general practice, general practitioners may sometimes encounter patients presenting with anorectal pain without a detectable cause.
This article discusses a case of recurrent anorectal pain in a young woman due to levator ani syndrome, and the current evidence for treatment of levator ani syndrome.
Levator ani syndrome usually presents with recurrent or chronic rectal pain without detectable organic pathology. Digital massage, sitz bath, muscle relaxants, electrogalvanic stimulation and biofeedback are the treatment modalities most frequently described in the literature.

本文讨论了一名年轻女性因提肛肌综合征出现复发性肛肠疼痛的病例，以及目前治疗提肛肌综合征的证据。
提肛肌综合征通常表现为复发性或慢性直肠疼痛，而无可检测到的器质性病变。文献中最常描述的治疗方式包括指压按摩、坐浴、肌肉松弛剂、电刺激和生物反馈。
