Hi... about a year a go i used hydrogen peroxide & water to basiclly douche my anus before anal sex embarrassing, but unfortunately i thought about it a little too late... i had to go to the er because my anus was bleeding , bad stomache pains, and could not move my bowels... i was perscribed steroids... n they didnt find anything wrong out of the ordinary.
