Is anal sex dangerous
Especially for those with a larger penis (I’ve heard that over 8 inches is too much) how dangerous is this?
I found this post on the Internet:
Question:
Me and my husband recently decided to experiment in our sex life, so we decided to give anal sex a try. We’ve done it twice and the second time wasn’t as painful as the first. But now I am scared to death. I am afraid I’ve done something really wrong. I’ve been in a lot of pain recently. I went to my doctor and told him that I was in a lot of pain and did not know why. (I was too embarrassed to tell him what I had done). He thought maybe I was just constipated and gave me some stool softener. Hoping that he was right I just agreed and took the medication. My bowel movements are fine but the pain proceeds. He did think that this problem was around my colon area because when he touched the right side of my abdomen it was excruciating. He informed me that my colon was in that area. I am really nervous, I don’t know how dangerous this could be but it’s starting to hurt to even walk. Does anyone know?? Could it be a bad infection or something?? Please someone respond this is so embarrassing I don’t want to talk to anyone face to face.
Answer:
There are several complications to anal sex:
Pain from hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids can be fragile and prone to bleeding, although they don’t usually cause the kind of pain you’ve described. You can frequently feel a hemorrhoid as a swollen, tender lump in the anal area. You’ll often notice blood from a bleeding hemorrhoid on toilet paper after a bowel movement, or on the stool itself.
Pain and bleeding can also occur when there’s a small tear in the lining of the anus called an anal fissure. Even small fissures can be pretty painful because they often cause spasms of the opening of the anus. They heal slowly because they’re irritated repeatedly during bowel movements. With anal fissures, you may also see blood on toilet paper or on the stool itself.
A rare, but serious, complication after anal sex is a hole (perforation) in the colon. This dangerous problem requires hospitalization, surgery to repair the hole, and antibiotics to prevent infection. A colonic perforation will usually cause fever and severe pain and pressure in the abdomen. This condition requires immediate medical attention, either through your health care provider or your local hospital emergency department.
Sexually transmitted diseases can infect the anus in much the same way as vaginal intercourse.
My advice to you if you do not have fever and the pain is somewhat bearable, is to take an colic pain killer, a stool softener for a couple of days. If you do not improve then you will have to consult someone face to face and you may even need a scope exam. A surgeon would be best at evaluating this condition.
Rare, but how rare? Should we be worried?
