Did you mean levator ani syndrome ?
I had an acquaintance that had that condition. She lived close to Mayo and had some interesting therapy there. They thought her stretching exercises, relaxation breathing techniques and gave her a device that she placed twice a day in her anus for about 15 min while doing biofeedback exercises. She was also prescribed some mild anti depressant for spasm control and muscle relaxation. All in all, her condition resolved in about 2- 3 months completely and I hope it will happen for you to < 3 . Best of luck !

Hi. I have been diagnosed with Levator Ani. it is debilitating. I haven't read one sucess story about being healed. does anyone have a success story about what helped them to get rid of this horrible syndrome?

Levator Ani is an anatomical structure that is closely associated with the prostate, making it susceptible to prostate cancer infiltration and damage from treatments like radiation therapy, and its role in urinary and fecal continence means it is significantly impacted by prostate cancer surgery and treatment, affecting patient outcomes.

Here is an article that discusses this problem

You really need to speak to your doctor about this? It seems that this can be a real problem when it comes to treatment.. Must admit after all the years I’ve been attending weekly advanced prostate cancer meetings This is the first time I’ve heard of this.
