Anal Sex Dangers - Is Anal Sex Safe?
HIV, STI's And Bacterial Infections HIV and other STI's are very real anal sex dangers and are just as much a threat to anal sex as they are to vaginal sex. Therefore it's important to always protect yourself from them by using a condom. Condoms can protect you from these infections that are transmitted through bodily fluids. They can include, HIV, HPV (which can lead to anal warts or anal cancer), gonorrhea, syphilis or even herpes, that can be passed through skin to skin contact. Although they do offer protection, it is always important to be vigilant because it is still possible for these infections to be passed even when using a condom, as the effected areas may not always be covered. Another one of the more high-risk anal sex dangers is bacterial infection. You should also always protect yourself from any possible infection by ensuring that a penis that has had any contact with an anus is not inserted back in to the vagina. This can cause an incredibly painful infection of cystitis or a urinary track infection. Anal Fissures Anal fissures are cracks or tears in the skin of the anus that expose the muscle underneath which often leave a 'tag' of skin at the anal opening that is sometimes confused for a hemorrhoid. Anal fissures can be sensitive to touch or cause a burning sharp pain during a bowel movement. They can be caused by anal sex when the body has not been fully prepared and conditioned for anal sex, however they are just as common as a result of diarrhea, constipation or by passing a large stool. Fortunately in most instances they are self healing, however the repairing process in severe cases can be impaired when the regular blood supply required to assist in repair is constricted by the spasm of the exposed muscle. A high fiber diet and hot baths can relax the anal muscles and also increase blood flow to the effected area. Additional lathering's of lubricant, and a body well prepped with analplay for anal intercourse can help with preventing bleeding after anal sex and anal fissures. Hemorrhoids Hemorrhoids, (also known as piles) are masses of swollen tissues and varicose veins found in the anus and rectum. They become inflamed as a result of increased pressure on the vein, usually due to pregnancy, straining at stool and anal intercourse. Hemorrhoids affect the upper anal canal (internal hemorrhoids) and also the side of the anus (external hemorrhoids) both of which are incredibly painful, irritatingly itchy and are known to bleed. Treatment can include warm baths to decrease inflammation, dietary changes and stool softeners. The best anal sex advise for hemorrhoids is to help prevent them with a high fiber diet, staying well hydrated, using ample amounts of lubricant and never forcing penetrative sex. Anal Cancer Anal cancer is one of the least known anal sex dangers, but is a very real threat due to the HPV virus. More commonly known as the virus that can cause cervical cancer, HPV can just as easily be contracted during anal sex. It can lead to warts on the skin, mucous membranes, anal dysplasia that can develop in to anal cancer. Protect your self against anal HPV by always using a condom during rectal sex. Rectal Prolapse A rectal prolapse can develop due to the weakening of the anal sphincter, when the ligaments and muscles that hold the rectum in place begin to fail. It is normally a medical condition where the walls of the rectum extend beyond the anus and become visible to the outside body. It is one of the most frightening anal sex dangers, however it is only usually found in older people who have had years of continuous rectal sex. It is more commonly a result of advanced age, extreme constipation or prolonged straining during defecation. A high fibre diet, can help treat a partial prolapse, otherwise the only other alternative is surgery.
