A member asked:
I was told i had internal anal hemorrhoids (which have been painful). how long until they heal? when can i have anal sex with my partner?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When no pain / blood: By definition, internal hemorrhoids should not be painful (but may bleed). External hemorrhoids ARE (generally) painful. You should be symptom free (no pain or bleeding) ideally before anal sex.
