A doctor has shared possible causes behind the pesky symptom

Look, it may not be sexy, yet many of us have, at one point or another, experienced something known as ‘lightning bum’.

While we may feel the bolt in our behind and want nothing more but to move on and act like nothing happened, Superdrug Online Doctor’s Hana Patel has shared a little bit about the seriously unpleasant symptom that could actually mean something serious.

And, yes, it’s different to ‘lightning crotch’ – which refers to the same pain but just in the lower pelvis or vagina – because this pain can be felt in both these areas, and the tailbone, rectum, legs, or lower abdomen, the GP shared.

Dr Patel describes the bizarre health phenomenon as a ‘sudden, sharp, electric shock-like pain in and around the rectum’.

“These sensations often last a few seconds but can definitely be intense enough to stop someone in their tracks,” the doc told the Metro. “Medically, this type of pain often relates to spasms of the anal or pelvic floor muscles.”
