Hi, I have piles problem can I use a sex toy for go for an anal sex is that safe?

Question

Hello-
Although you can have anal sex when you have hemorrhoids/piles, it's better to wait until they've healed. Friction and pressure from penetration can cause further irritation, discomfort, and pain. In addition, hemorrhoids that bleed may place you at increased risk for HIV infection, since the HIV virus can be transmitted more easily through an open "cut" or "wound." Whenever you have anal sex ? if you have hemorrhoids or not ? it is always safer to use condoms and silicone- or water-based lube if you don't know your partner's HIV status.
