What Causes Swelling Around The Anal Region After An Intercourse?
very personal but every since my husband and i had anal intercourse, the area around my pee hole has been slightly swollen. well, its been 2 days and upon examining it today it is definitely swollen. i noticed that it was feeling weird since the day after. its hard to explain. it hurts, but itches (not a normal scratchy itchiness) and its swollen. its bulby like. but its the entire area surrounding my pee hole. Any suggestions as to what it might be?

Hi, thanks for posting your concern in the HCM.
I think this is a common problem after an anal intercourse and is caused due to local venous congestion. If you have chronic venous insufficiency or you are having haemorrhoids or fissure or fistula, or any other anorectal pathology, they may be exacerbated too. In the absence of them, with normal willful intercourse there is nothing to worry.
You can use topical Lidocaine-HC and have Sitz bath to have symptomatic relief.
I should also tell you that, whenever having an intercourse please be sure that your husband is using a condom, particularly during anal or oral (if applicable) intercourse, to avoid infection. Please also maintain good personal hygiene. And avoid intercourse if any one of you develop any lesion in the genitals.
Hope you are satisfied with my answer. If you have any further query related to this, please write back.
In case you have any new query in future, you can directly ask me questions @ http://www.HealthcareMagic.com/doctors/dr-kaushik-sarkar/68460. I will try my level best to help you.
