Dr. Shahruq Sarela answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Sex: technically yes this is ok. I would recommend you not have anal sex though, as this can be traumatic. Also you can have rectal prolapse, and weakening of the rectal muscle tone causing fecal incontinence and the inability to control your bowl moments.
