I did anal fingering and now I am afraid I have anal cancer or any sextually disease . Is it possible even if my hand was free from any viruses. I have recurring pain.

Question

Anal fingering is unlikely to cause cancer. Sexual transmission e.g. HPV is possible due to sexual contact with some other person. Doctors do a pet rectal examination of patients with bleeding, obstruction etc, but they use gloves with Local Anasthetist Jelly for the same. But try to avoid avoid anal fingering as trauma from the nails can cause tears in the anal mucosa which can lead to fissure or infection. Anal cancer can present as a growth, bleeding, inguinal lump due to nodes or fecal incontinence. If you have further queries, feel free to directly contact me.
