Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
I understand that you are worried about the anal discharge that you have after having anal sex. It is possible that the discharge could be a result of rectal irritation due to anal sex. However, other potential causes such an infection have to be ruled out. This can be confirmed only after a proper physical examination.
So, I would suggest that you see a doctor for a proper examination and further management.
Wish you all the best.
