Is it safe to have anal sex with non-painful internal hemorrhoids? it was caused by not using lube before, but i always use lube now and am w/o pain.

Not Recommended: If you have internal hemorrhoids, i would recommend against anal intercourse as this can exacerbate the issue whether lubricated or not. If they are in fact internal hemorrhoids, you can consult a surgeon for banding to improve or resolve the issue. Meanwhile, to reduce flares, also avoid straining and keep stools soft.

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.
