Is bleeding after anal sex normal?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It happens: But any bleeding is not normal. You may have aggravated some internal hemorrhoids or torn the anal canal. Neither should be ignored especially due to the risk of infection. See your doctor and defer on future anal intercourse.

Trauma: Anal receptive sex can cause tearing of anal tissues including perforation of the colon. Repeated anal sex can weaken the anal sphincter muscle & cause problems with incontinence. It can also lead to transmission of sexually transmitted diseases and other infections.
