A member asked:
Is it ok to have anal sex with hemorrhoids?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends : It really depends on how bad hemmorids are. If any pain or bleeding then no. If any concerns see a physician to have things assessed.

No: Anal sex period is not a good idea and certainly can aggravate existing hemorrhoids.
