A member asked:
Is anal sex safe after recovery from rectocele repair?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Perhaps not: Anal sex could result in recurrence of the rectocele as well as damage to the repaired area.

I would not: I wouldn't do that. Talk to your surgeon. There are 3 different approaches for rectocele repair. Depends on your approach, however i'd caution you not to and speak with your surgeon.
