Can you get a hemorrhoid from anal sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes!: Especially if already present, they can be exacerbated. But frequent anal sex can cause hemorrhoids, but many do not get them.

I sometimes get hemorrhoids and im really scared to have anal sex because i can't stand having another breakout. They come and go and IV had at least one break out a year since my junior year in highschool im 24 now. I can't imagine why that would happen.
