This sounds like an anal fissure. If you think your anus was torn during sex this is a good possiblity. Anal fissure is a small tear in anus and will heal on its own.

Anal fissures can result in bumps the size of peas?

Just eat lots of fiber and take warm baths to speed the healing. You want to give it time to heal, so no anal.

Yes, if you google it you will see some images. Nothing to worry about. If they do not go away in about two weeks, get it checked out. Oblivion is right if you have some bleeding during bowl movements, nothing to worry about, just eat more fiber.

Thank you. The photos I saw of anal fissures didn't have any lumps. I saw one of a skin tag caused by an anal fissure but mine is not as small as that. The 2 lumps look almost exactly like one of the hemorrhoid pictures but I thought you couldn't get hemorrhoids from anal sex.

It would be unusual for warts to be showing up now in this relationship. You can both call where you were tested for std's at and confirm that indeed you were both tested for herpes with igg blood tests to see if you need to be worried about herpes or not. Having lumps though typically is not a sign of herpes.

A hemorrhoid typically can be pushed on and feel squishy. I'd really go with this being from anal sex. Do you use lube? Give it time to heal and keep your bowel movements very soft and at least daily so that you don't further irritate things down yonder.

Thanks for your responses. My lumps do feel squishy. Is it possible to be warts, though? Even though I am in a monogamous relationship, there are no guarantees that my boyfriend has been faithful. He's really hot and women are always hitting on him (not saying that to brag or be funny but it's true).

If you don't trust your man to be faithful - that's a whole different topic but really just because he's attractive doesn't mean he's stepping out on you. If you wonder if he's being faithful, ask.

If this is an anal fissure, it would be the first time in over 100+ times that this has happened. we do not use lube. This may be too much sharing but I get really really wet when I have sex and have never found the need for lubes.

Lube for anal sex is always a good idea regardless of how wet you normally are vaginally. When you don't use it, things like you are currently going thru can occur.

Also, new update: I developed a canker sore on the back side of my tongue today. I've had them before but wondering if this is related.

canker sores are not due to herpes.
