More than half of patients experience an anal distension. Some patients experience severe abdominal pain, restlessness, difficulty moving, and even painful gas and bowel movements, and sometimes a feeling of urgency and heaviness in the abdomen. The pain usually lasts for 3 to 7 days before gradually subsiding and disappearing. About a month later, cyclical abdominal pain occurs again and gradually worsens.
