It is the response of your internal sphincter muscle to pain. We don't have any conscious control of it. It tightens up the way your eye would squint if someone poked it. Not sure if hypnosis would help.

Sweetpea,

The only thing that helped my very painful spasms (after my hemoroidectomy 5 years ago) was sitting in a warm/ hot bath after my bm and also adding an ice pack throughout the day. Two weeks of suffering from spams for hours after my bm I read about another blogger that would poop in the bath tub because his spasms were not as painful..so I decided to try it... Gross I know but I was able to poop with less pain. I still remember those spasms 5 years later, man they were so painful!!!
