What Is The Cause For A Perforation Pin Hole In My Large Intestine?
I am a gay woman, I had sex with a gay woman who had long finger nails, the next day I fell ill...it turns out I had a perforation pin hole in my large intestine, could this have happen ed from her being inside of me with her fingers? I had a colonoscopy done less then 6 months ago pior and had a clean bill of health... I somehow think my perforation came from her...

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Fingers are long enough to reach some part of rectum only. This part is located outside the abdominal cavity (extraperitoneal location). So even if she has causes some wound in the rectum, this wont give typical perforation symptoms. It would rather give an abscess in the rectum area.
Small perforation can be caused by diverticulitis, regional ischemia of the intestine or due to bowels obstruction which last for quite long time.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
