Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Does Performing Anilingus Cause Strep Throat Infection?
I recently performed analingus with my wife (giving) and a few days later was diagnosed with strep throat. Could the activity have caused my illness. I undrstand bacteria etc... expected in the anal area, but the activity occurred shortly after baths, but there was some anal penetration. I want to rule this out as a source because it was quite pleasurable for us both.
Annilingus does not cause strep throat. As a first line management you can do warm saline gargles for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persists better to consult an ENT specialist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
