bleeding from anus

i know you said you dont want to go to a dr but i would reccomend. it doesnt sound healthy if its been for four days and if you have stains in your boxers and the blood is dripping....

there is nothing you can do (that i know of) that can stop it, so i think your best bet would be to get checked over.... not what you wanted to hear though lol sorry (*hug*)

but drs see anything and everything all the time it wont phase them and if youre embarrassed about talking you can write it down and hand the note to the dr ive done that a few times, it works just fine.

better to be embarressed than to possibly put a serious health issue in danger....

 

Str8 people also get hemorrhoids, which this could be. So I doubt the doctor would embarrass you by saying something like "well the only way this could have happened is if you had anal sex", if that's what you're embarrassed about... I'd get it checked out tho, since it's been a few days. As a long term health strategy it would be good that your regular or primary-care doctor (not sure what they're called there) is aware of your orientation etc...

 

Agree with this. I realize you are young but you should be completely open about your sex life with your doctor.

 

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but you really should go to the doctor and get this checked out. My guess is that you've gotten a tiny anal fissure, and it'll probably heal up on its own. However, getting it checked out is still a good idea. One of the most common reasons people visit the doctor is hemorrhoids.

If you're doing things properly you really shouldn't be having "ouch - PAIN!" moments during sex. In the vast majority of cases, this is going to be either from a lack of proper preparation or from not enough lubrication. Your body hurts for a reason, it's telling you that something is wrong.

My suggestion is that you switch to using silicone lube for sex. It doesn't absorb into the skin or evaporate like water based lube, and all in all you'll likely find it more enjoyable as a result. However, just as a cautionary note, don't use silicone based lube with silicone based sex toys. Silicone hates silicone, and it will damage or destroy the toy. So if you use sex toys you should have both silicone and water based lube available.

Silicone lube is safe to use with condoms, which you should be using. :icon_wink

A helpful suggestion I'd have for you is to get a hand held mirror. Using the mirror see if you can spot where you are bleeding from and what it looks like. If you have trouble, you can always ask your boyfriend to look. Generally speaking, if I am not mistaken, if the blood is red as you say it's generally a result of something going on with the outside or near the outside of the body. When bleeding happens further in the body (such as in the colon), it tends to be much darker in color.

All and all, to me, based on what you've said my guess is that you have a tiny anal fissure. You can get these as a result of normal bowel movements, FYI, not just from anal sex. If this is the case it'll take a week or so to heal.

Also, it should go without saying, but no more anal sex until the bleeding stops.

 

There's really no way around this one- you need to see a doctor as soon as possible.

After colds and upper respiratory infections, rectal bleeding is probably one of the top 5 reasons people come in to see their doctor. Most of the time it is hemorrhoids. Occasionally, it can be something more serious like a fissure or polyps. But when it becomes multiple days of bleeding- particularly bleeding that is visible in the toilet, it usually requires more thorough testing to eliminate more serious possible causes.

This is something that you don't want to delay any further. You need to be seen by your physician as soon as you can get an appointment.

 

Im an RN and I totally agree with Kara. Get in ASAP. Even if its the ER, just get yourself checked out.

 

Take a deep breath and relax. You're going to be fine. It is true there are a lot of things that can cause rectal bleeding, but virtually none of them are caused by anal sex. What you're experiencing is almost certainly a hemorrhoid or some tiny anal fissure. Going to the doctor is mostly a precaution to rule things out, and get any necessary treatment so that you can begin having sex again.

You're going to be fine. (*hug*)

Let us know what the doctor tells you, and if you want I can give you some more tips on having safe (and enjoyable!) anal sex. It's unfortunate that prostates don't come with an owners manual. :icon_wink

 

Ok. Breath.

You done all you can do for right now.

Give yourself a break, let the problem go for the night. You can have it back tomarrow

 

The good news is that you went and got a potential diagnosis. Take a deep breath and relax. Do you know if he checked you for internal hemorrhoids, or just external hemorrhoids? You can get them on the inside as well, and your symptoms seemed pretty consistent with that.

If the issue is swelling of the rectum, and since that was his thoughts - let's go with that - then you might have proctitis. That's likely what he thinks it is if he's talking about sexually transmitted infections. If I am not mistaken gonorrhea, herpes, and chlamydia can all cause proctitis. But these are not the only issues that can cause proctitis.

You're reaching the limits of my knowledge. I actually had to do some googling to confirm what I wrote above. These are all problems that have symptoms of rectal bleeding (or at least those that the Mayo Clinic has listed).

Take a deep breath. Everything is going to be fine. You don't know anything for certain until you go to the hospital to get checked out. You might want to take your boyfriend with you for moral and emotional support.

It's too early to know the cause or even the true problem yet. As of yet, you don't have a firm diagnosis, you've only ruled out anal fissures and external hemorrhoids.

(*hug*)

 

I don't know if it'd be worth it or not, but assuming you've already explained to your boyfriend about what the doctor told you, maybe it wouldn't hurt to ask him (non-accusingly) that he is in fact clean, just to be sure.

I only feel like if there was something there and you could know about it, it may help the medical people help you more quickly. Best of luck to you though... on the plus side, it doesn't sound like anything life-threatening, so hopefully you'll be back to a good bill of health soon enough.

 

Inflammation of the anus, to put it simply, means that your boyfriend is screwing you a little too hard. It's basically the same thing with your gums. If you brush them too hard, they begin to bleed.

 

I really have no input for this, it's basically all been covered..
Except the fact of; Do you or don't you use a toy?

It's not of vital importance you just appear to be avoiding the question.


- Hope it's nothing too serious! Get well... I guess?

 

Hi Justinf

I too suffered just the same bleeding that you are describing(two years ago).After four days i went to see a doctor who gave the same diagnosis as yours,and of course i went to hospital about a week later for a colonoscopy(camera up anus)and it turned out to be internal hemmeroids which were removed while doing the inpection.

All in all it was a very simple procedure and i was in and out of hospital in 3-4 hours,feeling fine and no problems since then.

You have done all you can for now so dont worry to much(as i did)because it sounds very much the same and was sorted easily and as a bonus the whole procedure was quick and pretty much painfree.

Good luck
