Hello and welcome to HCM,
Using anal sex toys can injure the soft anal mucosa and repeated use can ulcerate it also.
Mechanical trauma is the most important side effect of anal sex with toys.
However, since the toy is smooth, the possibility of mechanical trauma is low but overindulgence can be harmful.
Some people may suffer from altered bowel habits like constipation etc. thus if you suffer from such problems, you need to refrain from such activities.
Thus, be careful while using anal sex toys.
Thanks and take care
