      According to the staff at the Mayo Clinic, no one really knows for sure what causes spastic colon but there are theories and triggers. Certain researchers believe that spastic colon is caused by a change in the nerve structure that serves to tighten and contract the intestinal muscles. Still others believe that spastic colon happens because of changes in the central nervous system. Due to the fact that women are twice as likely to get spastic colon as men, scientists have concluded that changes in hormone levels must play some part. While there is no known cause, there are certain triggers that can induce the disorder in both males and females.
