Hi,
Thanks fir writing in.
An existing infection in prostate or seminal vesicles can cause pain to occur in the rectum. If the pain is only after ejaculation then the possibility is a spasm of the pelvic floor and genital muscles. This especially happen in people with hypertonic pelvic floor muscles, or muscles that are too tight. You may try to do stretching and relax your muscles before having sex. This can reduce the spasms in most cases.
