i'm getting several male patients who complain of severe anal pain after ejaculation. i found one brief paragraph on treatment for this in titonelli's emergency medicine text.
i suspect this is more common than admitted to in the literature, because most men are embarrassed to talk about it. does it occur in women too?
the pain is often severe. it can last from minutes to hours. it feels like you need to take a bowel movement, but there is no feces in the rectum. some treat it with a hot sitz bath. i have had good success with 2% nitroglycerin ointment applied to the anus.
anybody with any experience with this?
