Is it possible to get hemmoroids from having anal sex?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Maybe: Internal hemorrhoids usually don't hurt but can bleed painlessly. Any activity involving penetration of the anus has a potential risk of infection, sphincter damage, tears, bleeding whether or not lube is used. Generally, the anus is an exit not an entrance.
