Can anal masturbation cause proctitis?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Deep penetration with a hard object could certainly cause rectal injury and if recurrent could lead to some chronic inflammation.

Sort of: Trauma can irritate the area but proctitis is usually associated with an inflammatory condition. So probably not but yes. Needs to be seen to determine.
