Hi everyone, M34 here. This is a slightly different post...
For the past couple of years I've been playing with my ass using different toys, and I've gotten to the point where I'm quite flexible and can take a fist (including self-fisting). Things were going great until about 6 months ago, when I started noticing some annoying and slightly worrying symptoms that I never had before.
What's happening:
- Sometimes (yesterday was the most recent example) it feels like there's a "block" inside me, and even a small dildo is uncomfortable no matter how much lube I use.
- When this happens, anal sex is off the table because the discomfort is too much. The closest way I can describe it is that pressure feeling you get when you really need to evacuate gas or stool. It usually lingers for several hours, sometimes half a day.
- I'm noticing way more mucus production than I ever did in the past.
- The really frustrating part is how unpredictable it is. Some days I can take big toys and have sex with zero issues, and the next day I'm basically out of commission
My own theories: I'm wondering if this could be tenesmus, and whether I might have developed some chronic inflammation of my internal hemorrhoids.
I tried a course of flavonoids for about a week (the kind sold for hemorrhoid support) and it seemed to help a little, but I'm not sure it's the full picture.
Has anyone here gone through something similar? What helped? Did you end up seeing a proctologist or colorectal specialist, and what was the diagnosis? I'd really like to get back to enjoying things fully, both for me and my partner.
Thanks in advance!
