General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Swelling near the anal region does not necessarily indicate that the person had anal sex.
Generally, following anal sex, the area seems to be raw and could have some bleeding spots due to mucosal injuries.
She could possibly have hemorrhoids and can be opined about it by clinical examination. It could have been precipitated by straining during passage of stools as a result of constipation. Kindly consult Surgeon in this regard for proper assessment and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
