Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Anus

Posted on Wed, 26 Apr 2017

Question: I had anal sex for the first time and now my anus is swollen. We are both disease free and this was our first sexual act.

It stings or hurts a little when I defecate. The penis only went to very beginning of the anus entrance. Definitely not the rectum.

Also no blood at all.

Brief Answer:
Could be a small fissure

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for writing in

The history points to probably a fissure in ano

having had a look at the picture I do not find any evident fissure but clinical complains point to the same

I would suggest you avoid anal intercourse and apply Lignocaine jelly twice a day at the anal verge

If need be take diclofenac 50mg twice a day

Hope this helps

I also have the sensation like I need to move my bowels. Does it not look too bad in the photo? Also if this happened friday when will it get better?

Are there any otc remedies ?

Can this also make a person have gas or is thar unrelated

Brief Answer:
It is unrelated

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for writing in again

The sensation of need to move bowels and gas are unrelated

If left untreated the fissure will go chronic if it is there as I can not justify the same from the picture

It takes around eight to ten days to heal on it's on

Hope this clears you doubts
Get well soon

Also Doctor. If I wanted to see a doctor in person and I can't talk about anal sex. Is there any other way to explain my symptoms. Or anything else that could cause a fissure

Constipation

Hi

It is always better to share the correct information with your doctor

But anyways

Just tell the doctor you are badly constipated and that you passed hard stool for last two to three days

Hope this helps
