About 5 weeks ago (i'v already submitted blood for testing) i met a guy who fingered me. What concerns me is that i noticed a small cut on my anus (on the outer pink area), but i'v never noticed it bleeding or anything.
View 7 RepliesThis might be Anxiety, but I am wondering if nude body to body massage with the masseuse vagina rubbing on my penis outside (no penetration/intercourse) but defo fluid exchange, no condom and she put her finger in my anus, would that be a risk of HIV?
I have been to the same masseuses and I have done test and they all negative after but the last time I went for the massage is after my last negative test so I am just being very worry?
About a month ago i had an anal fissure but it is heald. But weeks after it healed there is a tingling feeling. It does not hurt but it is annoying. i was wondering what could be causing this and how to get rid of that feeling for good.
View 2 RepliesI noticed while I was taking care of myself to get rid of my anal fissure (fancy word for anal rip, which healed) that I have a bumpy pimple like thing on the rim of my anal. I also noticed it because it bleed a little, but stop after I went without having a bowel for a few days. I just want to know what it is and if it is harmful.
View 2 RepliesSo here it goes.
April 14th, engaged in fingering stripper and kissing. Nothing else, so no oral or sex. I dont remember having any cuts or anything, but it has been a while i guess. 8 weeks later, come down with sore throat and fever for a few days, which went away on its own. No rash or anything. Took one oraquick home test August 16th, which was negative. Have been obsessing over the sickness at 8 weeks. Was that ARS and should i repeat the oraquick? My anxiety went away after the negative test, but i cant get it out of my head. Have also had sinus issues on and off for a month or so.
Any feedback on the risk would be appreciated. Should i retest or can that be my conclusive test? Does oraquick give false negatives? Have not had any sexual contacts since that episode.
I engaged in unprotected fingering and oral sex with a married man of 30+ years at the end of December 2014. He performed oral sex on me and I on him. He did not ejaculate. He did not even get fully erect. He fingered my vagina and anus. There was precum on his penis. I remember touching it with my finger. I do not know if it was on his fingers prior to him putting them in my vagina although it is possible. I do remember a slight pain which makes me think I may have slightly torn at the base of my vagina. This is really scary because of his precum. Prior to putting his finger in my anus, he left the room and went to the bathroom and put petroleum jelly on his finger. He then returned and fingered inside my anus. I don't know if he touched himself before doing so or if precum was on his finger; it may have been. He also rubbed his penis against my vagina. He never penetrated me with his penis and at no time did he ejaculate, again because he never got fully erect. He says he is not HIV+ as he has been tested at some point for life insurance purposes although I don't know how long ago. I also don't know if he is being truthful. I am married and had unprotected sex with my husband approximately 4-5 days later. My husband got sick about a week after that and was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection. I have not gotten "sick" although about a week and a half ago, I got a headache, my face under my eyes hurt, it seems like the lymph nodes in my neck were swollen, and my ears started to hurt. I haven't had a fever and I haven't felt "bad." I have been SCARED sick! I can't sleep and think I have been infected with HIV and have infected my husband. Please assess my HIV risk if he is HIV+. I want so badly to move on from this, but I am so scared.

I have been worried for the past week about an incident that happened with me, I met a guy in a sauna ( im male too ) he had an uncircumcised penis . We got talking and went to the backroom to play. He had allot of precum on his penis . which he rubbed my anus with , I was in the moment very horny and so im my moment of madness opened my anus for him ( sorry for the detail ) though there was to my knowledge no penetration. There definitely was him pushing his precum into my anus , and pushing hard against my anus so as to "open me " up. It didn't happen .
Just want to know what my risks are , this is also due to the problem I have of piles and bleeding that occurs . Also he fingered me before hand and may have caused some irritation to that area where he put his precum.
Have I been at risk for infection and do i need to go get tested This discussion is related to Mucous membranes.
I have been concerned about possible HIV transmission. Fooling around with another guy about a month ago, he sat on top of me and put my penis head into his anus with possible expectation that I will engage in anal sex. We were motionless for about half a minute or so before I removed my penis from his anus. I had a mild fever (100F) and cough with phlegm two weeks ago which lasted 2 days. Is there a chance I have contracted HIV with the guy being HIV positive?

View 1 RepliesI have discovered a small lump right on the opening of my anus.
It is about the size of a pea and looks almost blue or black in colour.
It feels exactly the same as a pea - solid behind the skin covering it.
I am extremely worried as I don’t know what it is. It is very sore, especially when passing stools.
Initially it wasn't painful at all and now it is. Yesterday I got it little open using surgical blade and small amount of blood came out.
Anyway, I was at uni and going through a bad time in my life, whenever I get stressed my guts go into turmoil. As a result I was off uni for a week with severe rectal pain and feeling lower than a snake's belly. I booked an appointment with my GP as I had experienced similar symptoms before.
My GP recognised the symptoms immediately, I thought I had piles, she said I was too young so had a look. The digital examination wasn't fun, in fact she said she had never seen anyway change colour so quickly but it was worth it because I was referred to a colorectal surgeon.
I took my sick note back into my tutor and as I was doing a clinical degree, he said straight away that fissures were worsened and sometimes caused by stress. The penny dropped.
As I said I was going through a very very bad time in my life which necessitated me going on antidepressants (Cipralex) for my emotional state. When this was added to wall climbing agony due to fissures I was near breaking point. I remember after one bowel movement almost fainting with the pain, I was lying at the top of the stairs at my mum's house and clawing at the wallpaper with my fingernails - I have had a broken leg and in terms of pain that fissure was far worse, trust me.
I went to see the colo-rectal surgeon a few weeks later, I was terrified, but he was a lovely man, very very considerate. He told me that I had a large fissure that could be helped with an ointment. I told him my background so he talked a bit more openly and said that fissures are an incredibly debilitating condition. He once had a 16 stone rugby player openly weeping on his consulting couch with the pain - I can understand why.
I was prescribed GTN ointment and started using it as directed. I had a slight headache which I could live with, but this was far better than the agony of the fissure and this headache was pretty much gone after the first week. After a week of use the pain from the fissure had also subsided to nothing. After six weeks I went back to the surgeon and I was healed.
I wish that was the end of the story but it isn't, I have probably had four or five bad flare ups since and dozens of other twinges, spasms, bleeds and itches since but I am nowhere near as bad as the first time - I can live with this now. I have seen the surgeon twice since and he has offered surgery but my frame of mind precluded me from that, I was simply terrified.
My GP is very understanding and I can get GTN on prescription whenever I need it. I was prescribed Anoheal by the surgeon as well but this didn't work as well as GTN for me, but I have seen cases in work where this has been incredibly effective.
As I said earlier, I was doing a clinical degree, which I have now passed, so I feel that I am pretty well qualified to offer a bit of advice, so here it is.
1. Go and see your GP. Don't be embarrassed, your doctor has seen dozens of these - they are very very common. If you get fobbed off or feel that you haven't got anywhere, go back and tell him/her that you are not happy and you will go elsewhere i.e. change your GP. Changing your GP hits their bank balance, and as GPs are notoriously greedy, they will do something. Nobody should have to suffer with this.
2. Take something for the pain but NOT codeine. Ibuprofen worked best for me.
3. Drink plenty of fluids and lay off the alcohol while you are healing.
4. Eat lots of fibre and fresh fruit and veg, switch to brown bread and have something like Weetabix for breakfast. This softens stools and makes them easier to pass - less pain and less damage to existing fissures.
5. Use a stool softener, one Movicol sachet daily really really helped me. You can buy these over the counter from your local Pharmacist but tell them what it is for. Alternatively get them on prescription from your GP.
6. Lay off the red meat, there is some science to this as meat increases the residence time in the gut and predisposes to harder stools. This really helped me and I have seen a few accounts here where sufferers also say that.
7. Try to relax, easier said than done, but try simple things like having a hot bath instead of a shower. If anything helps you, no matter how crazy or off the wall it may sound, carry on doing it. Going out for a drive helped me. Staying active also helps constipation and makes you feel better. Don't stay in and stew - stay positive.
8. Stick to the doctor's directions of any drugs you are given. If you are told to apply a cream for 6 weeks into the anus, then make sure it goes into the anus for 6 weeks. And into the anus means into the hole - not nice, but a lot nicer than the agony from an untreated fissure.
Remember you are not alone, these things can be cured. You will feel terrible and you will feel like nobody else understands what you are going through but believe me, these things are very very common.
And if all the above doesn't help there is a simple operation that can be done on a day case basis that has a 95% chance of curing it for good.
If you are reading this you are no doubt feeling horrible but believe me, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
I have a small lump on my anus which is extremely sore. I was hoping to get some advice of a diagnosis and treatment required to get rid if it. I have recently had anal sex. It's almost like a swollen blood vein that has popped out.
View 1 RepliesLast 2 nights I had protected anal sex, unprotected oral and fingering with a stranger I met through an app. Today I noticed a small white/yellow spot around my anus. It is not painless but i kept touching it and now it starting to itch. Have I contracted any STI/STD? And how long should I wait for check up?
View 1 RepliesI am 30 years old.
Well as the topic mentions i have really small testicles, so small that when my penis is erect they most likely go in me.
My penis is extremely small when flaccid , prob 2-3 inches top if its a good day, but when erect it is about 6 or so ( apparently what they call a grower)
Now i have been suffering from this since i can remember, It has taking a huge amount of my life away, i feel as i would of been a more successful man if i didn't, i avoid at all cost going OUT yes it sucks that bad, i go out only when necessary.
Here is what is weird i guess the good part? i have never been ashamed in the sex act, i mean i wouldn't pull it out until my penis was erect but never had a problem besides a girl saying i had small testicles.
Now i am married and have beautiful children, apparently extremely small testicles does not affect this :) Grateful for that, as in the back of my head i was always concerned if i was going to be able to produce children.
Ok so the problem the big huge problem....
The bulge in my pants... yes many of you might think this is stupid but this is the reason i tend to hide from public. I have considered shoving a sock or something down there but i think it would be worst or maybe it is just the fear of looking funny.
Please do not say people do not look or don't notice because believe it or not they DO, some are even loud and shameless to say "did you see that guy" some stare and some laugh, this goes without fail every single time i am out. Well i will not drag any longer, simply saying that i am suffering in this body i was giving. I wear baggy clothes ( don't like them but have no choice)
Please please !!!! Any solution is welcomed , i have tried using... pumps, stretchers, pills etc nothing does the job, you might be thinking im stupid for trying any of these things put i am desperate and willing to try it all. Sadly i was thinking in my head while someone was staring and laughing that i would gladly give an arm for a normal package ( i know that sounds extreme but it is true)
So again any help? i can not seem to find much information about the subject , i guess my main goal is the testicles since this would give me the bulge i want.
Money wouldn't be a problem, and surgery is very acceptable if it is an option, like i said there is just not enough info about anything.
So I'm in a spot of bother. But first a brief back story (excuse the pun!):
I live in South Korea and around 3 months ago i had really bad stomach pains, vomiting blood, feeling like death etc. Now, being in a foreign country where English isn't spoken too much i was very scared and went to A&E straight away and pretty much got a whole menagerie of tests including a colon and endoscopy. The doctors had a good look around and found nothing wrong. The vomiting stopped almost as quickly as it began and my stomach pain vanished.
However, a few weeks later i started passing stool that was very painful and then started seeing a lot of blood. It was everywhere; in my stool, when i wiped and even (and most alarmingly) dripping straight from my anus. This was a very distressing time for me, I couldn't even get intelligible feedback from the doctors (no ones fault i should add!). Anyway, after another round of 'scopys they found I had a Hiatal Hernia!
- My first question is has anyone else here been diagnosed with a Hiatal Hernia??
So this explained the stomach pain and through my own research/assumption/vague doctor explanation this most probably caused constipation, stress, straining and eventually resulted in blood flowing freely from my back side. The doctors previously couldn't see hemorrhoids or anal fissures. But after one particularly bloody episode I returned to AE and they said, without tests being carried out, i had either internal hemorrhoids or an acute anal fissure.
So my questions are;
-How do you know the difference?
-Without another (expensive) colonoscopy will I be able to tell?
-Do Hemorrhoids exaggerate into (or cause) anal fissures?
-Are the treatments for each condition different?
-Is this a lifetime issue now I've got it?
I know what you're thinking; why don't i ask a doctor. Well its not that easy (or cheap) and i figured someone here probably had the same questions and got decent answers (in english) they might want to share?
Also, happy(ish) ending; I rarely see blood anymore, except after a particularly hard stool, and only then its when i wipe and no dripping. I put this down to a few things.I started eating a LOT more fiber, i was trying to maintain 35g of the stuff a day which equated to 1 banana, 2 large apples (200g) and 300g of sweet potato (skin on). 3 - 4 litres of water a day too. At the height of my pain i would have a spoonful of olive oil first thing in the morning, followed by a sitz bath and the MAIN thing is squatting while passing, i cannot recommend this last point enough!
I'm actually experiencing a bit of pain at the moment but i'm putting this down to having a couple of weeks off my regime. Alcohol and fried/salty food should be avoided for prolonged periods it seems! Also for those of you that work out, avoid lower back exercises, or at least go light on the weights in that area.
I have been experiencing some constipation for several years but last june probleme get aggravated and I start having some blood in my stool and I thought was just hemorrhoid but one day I tried to use the bathroom I couldn't go easy it took me 2 hours to empty my bowel,I was in agony then went to my GD who refer me to CRS and confirm that I have a fissure with 3 skin tags , prescribe for me nifedipine ointment 3 time a day and change my diet( fruit veg fiber...) and drink lot of water, after a month staff get worse then went back to CRS he want me to do colonoscopy to figure out what a heck is going on , but thank God nothing bad beside a fissure and 3 skin tags , at that time I couldn't keep my mind straight cuz I was in so much pain on sep 3 I decided to go for the other option IS surgery with removal of the skin tag. but unfortunately after 11 days post-op I develop a fistula I don't know why it happened it was the most painful pain I have experienced in my life so went to CRS and immediately admit me for 2nd surgery fistulotomy , so today 3 day so far I still have some pain but not as bad as before, I know it is going to take longer to heal but I'm taking it day by day , and this is my story
