A member asked:
Can you have anal sex with internal hemorroids?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
You have a choice: There is risk with choosing this type of sexual activity and bleeding from trauma to your hemorrhoids is only one small risk. As doctors we support choice and try to educate patients about risk/benefit of health issues. It is certainly okay to say no to this sexual activity. Be well.

Yes: Some bleeding can certainly occur due to mild trauma but lubricants would be of assistance.
