Is Bleeding After Anal Sex Cause for Concern

What Does It Mean When You Bleed Out Of Your Buttock?

Bleeding From Bum: What Does It Mean?

The above mentioned facts are not just limited to the butt area. There are many other places where blood may come out during sexual activity. But, most of the time these types of things don’t cause any problems because they’re normal occurrences. However, there might be some minor complications or even life threatening situations that occur due to such bleeding events.

In fact, it’s better to avoid such bleeding events altogether. If you do get them, then you need to immediately seek medical attention. This will definitely save your life. So, if you’ve ever had any type of bleeding event after having sexual activity with someone else, then read on!

Is Bleeding After Anal Sexual Activity Causing Problems?

It’s true that you might experience some minor complications or even life threatening situations if you have a bleeding event at all. That being said, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s going to kill you. And, there are ways to prevent such bleeding events from happening in the first place.

How Do I Prevent Myself From Getting A Bleeding Event During Anal Sexual Activities?

Of course, the most effective way to prevent yourself from getting a bleeding event is by not engaging in any type of sexual activity at all. However, if you’re going to partake in such activities, then there are ways to minimize your chances of having a bleeding event altogether.

The first way is by using a lot of lube. There’s no doubt that lube is always the number one necessity when it comes to any type of bum fun. If you’re having butt fun without any lube, then you’re just asking for a bleeding event to occur.

But, having too much lube is just as bad because it would be really messy. So, you need to find that sweet spot and add the appropriate amount of lube to the equation.

The second way is to be really gentle when you’re penetrating your partner’s bum. You need to do this regardless if they’re a virgin or not. Ripping the tissue inside of someone’s butt will almost always result in a bleeding event, especially if the person who’s getting penetrated is a female virgin.

Another tip would be to make sure that all of your fingernails are trimmed and kept clean. If you have long fingernails and you’re not careful, then you might end up scratching the inside of the person’s bum. This will cause bleeding to occur as well.

It should be noted that if you or your partner has a hemorrhoid problem, then it can complicate things as well. If you have hemorrhoids, then your probability of having a bleeding event is higher than the usual person. Be sure to use extra protection if you plan on having any type of bum fun.

Should I Be Concerned If I Have A Bleeding Event?

It really depends on what exactly is going on. If it’s a minor bleeding incident and neither you or your partner are experiencing any other strange symptoms, then there’s nothing to really worry about. It’s probably just a small scrape or something and a little time is all that your partner or yourself needs in order to heal up.

However, if you or your partner starts experiencing some of the more serious symptoms, then you might want to seek medical attention immediately. Some of these symptoms include:

-A lot of bleeding

-Feeling feverish

-Chills

-Dizziness

-General feeling of malaise (this means you just feel really crappy. Another way to say this is that you don’t feel well.)

Keep in mind that these are just some of the symptoms. There are others as well. If you experience ANYTHING that is abnormal, then get yourself checked out, even if you think it’s just a minor symptom. Better to be safe than sorry!

Should I Be Concerned About My Sexual Partner?

If your sexual partner starts experiencing the more serious symptoms, then you definitely need to seek medical attention immediately. It might also be a good idea to get yourself checked out as well depending on what exactly happened and how high the risk was for you.

However, if your sexual partner merely has a few small cuts and/or bruises, then you shouldn’t be too concerned as long as they’re not displaying any of the more serious symptoms.

It’s important that you keep in mind that bleeding is a natural part of the sexual experience. Sometimes it can happen even if you and your partner are being extremely careful. As long as bleeding incidents like this don’t happen too frequently with your partner there shouldn’t be any long term complications or increased risk of STIs occurring.

Should I Be Testing Myself For STIs?

You should probably be doing that anyway. However, if you recently had a bleeding incident with your partner, then you may want to get yourself tested immediately after your visit to the doctor. While it’s highly unlikely that you’ve acquired anything from your partner, it’s still best to err on the side of caution and get yourself checked out as soon as possible.

If your sexual partner starts experiencing symptoms, then you may want to consider getting yourself tested as well. If you haven’t been tested recently, then now might be a good time to do so.

It’s also important to keep in mind that some STIs such as herpes, HPV (human papilloma virus), and HIV are known to lay dormant in the body without showing any symptoms for quite some time. It’s entirely possible that your partner could have one of these STIs and not know it.

If you do suspect that your partner has an STD, but they’re claiming they don’t, then you may want to keep this information to yourself until you can get yourself properly tested as well. That way, you’ll be able to know for sure if you’ve been infected or not.

If you do not have an ongoing sexual relationship with this person or persons, then it’s still a good idea to get yourself tested anyway after your possible exposure. You just never know…
