Sexuality nowadays occupies the foreground of most people’s lives, as well as the front pages of the popular media, and there is little shame in discussing sexual preferences and activities today. Anyone who indulges in anal intercourse, whether male or female, is at higher risk than normal of contracting anal and rectal infections, conditions or even injuries that may need medical treatment.

Don’t make your doctor guess. Say if you’ve been fooling about with sex toys, if you’re gay or if you engage in anal intercourse, or if your problem could be linked to (or affected by) your sex life. You’re much more likely to get the appropriate treatment – and quicker – if you don’t make your physician play detective.
