A member asked:
Can there be any health risks in having public toilet water in contact with a bleeding anus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely.: If you mean a few drops of water from the toilet flushing then the answer is not likely. Any open wounds or sores are always predisposed to infection. But if you cleaned yourself well after using the toilet then you should be ok. What i would be more worried about is why you have a bleeding anus? Hemorrhoids? Laceration? Ulcer?
