Sexual Health - Women :: Anal Sphincter Bump After Shaving
I have a bump on my anal sphincter. I have no stds, have never had anal sex, and I have never had a hemorrhoid. I hope I do not have one so I would like more information. It just appeared about a week ago. I did shave down there the night before and had sex that night but its a normal routine so I don't understand why I have it. Could it be a cut from my razor that could have gotten infected because of friction? But its not white. Same color as my skin. Could it be a pimple? I don't see a head anywhere on it. Is it a hemorrhoid? I haven't done anything different that would cause that.

I've been trying to cure my piles pharmacologically for two weeks, but it didn't help. Now, my doctor said that I should remove them using some of non-surgical procedures like rubber banding ligation or photocoagulation. My problem is that I'm a gay bottom and I'm afraid if I will be able to have anal sex after these procedures (how long will I have to wait), and which procedure would be the best for me in my case (I thought about rubber banding ligation). I would appreciate the most answers from people who had one of these kinds procedures and then normally had anal intercourses.

I am having a growth removed from near my anal area by surgery soon. It is very close to the anal opening but not in it. I'm wondering if anyone had this done before and how much pain there was? Were there complications afterwards?

I'm kinda freaking out and would like some advice before I head to the doctor in a couple days. Felt a sore on my anus when wiping and looked and saw what looked like a small cut when checking and thought it was from aggressive wiping or from when I was doing squats at gym. Couple days later cut is still there maybe bigger, but that may be from irritating it every time I have to wipe. Do also have what appears to be a hemorrhoid, and itches occasionally though that might just be because I can't stop think about it. I am sexually active but have always been safe and never shown symptoms anywhere else on body before.
View 3 RepliesHIV In Precum Anal Transmission
I recently engaged in risky behavior that I completely regret and am ashamed of. I met with a complete stranger, never asked his status, and was on the receiving end of anal sex. He was only penetrating for maybe a minute before we stopped and I asked him about his status. He told me he was undetectable. While he was inside, he had a lot of precum. After realizing how the mood had changed, he provided me with Truvada which I took and he gave me two additional pills for the next two days. The very next day, I was at the clinic and started PEP. One of the doctors/nurses I saw suggested that although it was a very high risk situation, the threat of infection was low. However, I can't stop obsessing over this and waiting two weeks to be tested again seems like forever, and waiting for 28 days to be up seems like waiting an eternity. So my questions are (and I know there's little research with precum, but) is there a high infection rate through just precum? Again, he wasn't in there long but there was a lot of precum. Additionally, how effective is Truvada and Isentress as taken for PEP. Truvada was started immediately and Isentress was started about 14 hours afterwards. Both will be taken for the 28 day PEP period.
View 3 RepliesHemorrhoids :: Lump After Anal Sex?
I had anal sex for the first time 2 days ago. We used a condom but we skipped the lube part. I'm not sure how far he got as it was painful and we stopped.
The morning after I went to the bathroom for #2 (been a little constipated for the past few days) and there a small amount of blood when I wiped. I also just noticed a pea sized lump just outside the anus. It's pink/purple/skin colored and sensitive to touch. I also feel discomfort when I sit or go to the toilet but it's bearable.
Is this consistent with hemorrhoids?
What can I do about it and when should I see a doctor (I don't have an insurance yet)?
Anal Fissure Or Hemorrhoids?
So I'm in a spot of bother. But first a brief back story (excuse the pun!):
I live in South Korea and around 3 months ago i had really bad stomach pains, vomiting blood, feeling like death etc. Now, being in a foreign country where English isn't spoken too much i was very scared and went to A&E straight away and pretty much got a whole menagerie of tests including a colon and endoscopy. The doctors had a good look around and found nothing wrong. The vomiting stopped almost as quickly as it began and my stomach pain vanished.
However, a few weeks later i started passing stool that was very painful and then started seeing a lot of blood. It was everywhere; in my stool, when i wiped and even (and most alarmingly) dripping straight from my anus. This was a very distressing time for me, I couldn't even get intelligible feedback from the doctors (no ones fault i should add!). Anyway, after another round of 'scopys they found I had a Hiatal Hernia!
- My first question is has anyone else here been diagnosed with a Hiatal Hernia??
So this explained the stomach pain and through my own research/assumption/vague doctor explanation this most probably caused constipation, stress, straining and eventually resulted in blood flowing freely from my back side. The doctors previously couldn't see hemorrhoids or anal fissures. But after one particularly bloody episode I returned to AE and they said, without tests being carried out, i had either internal hemorrhoids or an acute anal fissure.
So my questions are;
-How do you know the difference?
-Without another (expensive) colonoscopy will I be able to tell?
-Do Hemorrhoids exaggerate into (or cause) anal fissures?
-Are the treatments for each condition different?
-Is this a lifetime issue now I've got it?
I know what you're thinking; why don't i ask a doctor. Well its not that easy (or cheap) and i figured someone here probably had the same questions and got decent answers (in english) they might want to share?
Also, happy(ish) ending; I rarely see blood anymore, except after a particularly hard stool, and only then its when i wipe and no dripping. I put this down to a few things.I started eating a LOT more fiber, i was trying to maintain 35g of the stuff a day which equated to 1 banana, 2 large apples (200g) and 300g of sweet potato (skin on). 3 - 4 litres of water a day too. At the height of my pain i would have a spoonful of olive oil first thing in the morning, followed by a sitz bath and the MAIN thing is squatting while passing, i cannot recommend this last point enough!
I'm actually experiencing a bit of pain at the moment but i'm putting this down to having a couple of weeks off my regime. Alcohol and fried/salty food should be avoided for prolonged periods it seems! Also for those of you that work out, avoid lower back exercises, or at least go light on the weights in that area.

View 4 RepliesSTDs :: Anal Gonorrhea?
I had unprotected anal sex (giving and receiving) and caught gonorrhea over a month ago. Had burning on urination and penis discharge especially in the morning. I received treatment and symptoms subsided from the urinary tract. However, I'm suspecting a persistent rectal problem. There is discomfort with bowel movements, and faeces are greenish brown and not solid (abit leafy almost). I live in an extremely homophobic country, so theres no way I can get checked for a possible anal STD without the risk or persecution. Please advise. Should I repeat the treatment for a 3rd time? Is the bacteria becoming resistant?

View 1 RepliesHemorrhoids :: Growth Above Anal Area
I've had a growth on the top of my anal opening for several years. It first came to my notice through pain on wiping. On further inspection, it became clear that a hard growth had installed itself adjacent to the anal passage. This body is immovable but periodically submerged in a type of crater or shallow second hole above the real one. Accordingly, it can flare up and became painful and irritated much as it can subside and be nearly invisible to the naked eye. This is the problem which stymied my attempts to provide a visual cue for a colorectal surgeon who examined me. I showed photos on my phone, but they informed me that they couldn't see anything and wouldn't proceed to a surgical solution. They did indicate some internal hemorrhoids and offered a ligation for those, by my pain problem is primarily related to this external object. I took two photos of the issue today and circled them in MS Paint for maximum clarification.

View 14 RepliesSTDs Gay :: Gonorrhea Reinfection (anal Sex)
I met my boyfriend this summer, and after a while we decided to have anal sex. We went unprotected and after some days I had a clear discharge. It went like that about two weeks before I got tested. I did a full test for STDs and gonorrhea came back positive, my partner had it all negative.
Our doctor prescribed only for me an injection of ceftriaxone 250mg and 10 days of longamicine. My partner didn't take anything.
After some weeks we had sex again and I got reinfected, I had burning coming back again, a yeast infection, and dicharges, and a very painful testicule and very itchy at the same time. My doctor gave me the same treatment as before and my boyfriend took it too.
After two weeks, I had clear discharge coming back again and we didn't have sex at all since the last incident. No itching, no pain, just a clear discharge which sometime is white. My doctor gave me this time Cipro 500 mg for 5 days to clear everything, but it didn't stop at all.
I want to go for a test again but would the results be accurate after 2 weeks of the last treatment (with Cipro) or should I wait longer ?
I am really concerned about those last discharges as it might cause big damages.
STDs :: Risk After Anal Rimming
I recently had protected sex with an escort(I am quite sure the condom is not broken). During the process i rimmed her anal for few mins. After couple of days i am having throat infection and slight fever. Could this be because of any STD ? What are the chances of me contacting any STD through this action ? Is it possible that I might have contacted any serious STDs like HIV etc. I am quite sure that she didn't have any rashes , sores or any kind in her anal, she was pretty clean. I don't have nausea , vomiting or stomach ache. Please advise me what i should be doing , i don't want to pass something serious to my family.
