I got this from a Ask A Doctor page.Will a colonoscopy in a male detect if you are having analhi guys,
i am a relatively young healthy active male, living in a relatively small town in Hawaii, and keeping secrets are near impossible.
even choosing doctors is difficult becuz either the doctor is buddies with people i know, or someone in his office knows me very well, or whatever.
privacy is close to impossible, and people being people, gossip is always gossip.
due to a recent bout with stomach burping / acid reflux (i think from too much coffee, i probably gotta lay off), my doc is playing it safe and going to give me a rectal exam, ie a camera waaaaaay up there !!!
i don't know if any of you have ever had one of these, and i'm sure it'll turn out fine, i am not at all squeamish about it.
my gay BF and i have moved beyond handjobs and i have been having pretty regular anal the past 6 months, he is not huge but definitely larger than most and i really enjoy our intense sex (sometimes very intense) and that includes lots of pounding. i am really learning to love it.
here's my question: when i go in for my routine rectal exam as explained above (which is totally unrelated), is my doctor going to be able to "recognize the signs" that i have been having anal sex ? is there anything obvious that he would be able to see with his trained camera and trained diagnostic eye ?
if anyone has medical training or experience with this situation, i would appreciate knowing. if it turns out that there *IS* obvious evidence to a doctor, then how long should i refrain to allow that evidence to dissolve.
i guess i could fly to the mainland for the procedure but that would seem odd and would raise more speculation
i am not paranoid, just being cautious. of course i understand the privacy of the doctor - patient relationship ,but i also live in a small town and people talk.......

Nothing. Just asking a question as I have never had a colonoscopy and am not sure what it would reveal.

Hello, this is Dr. David. I have read your question and am ready to help.
if you are using substantial sized dildos, you can cause internal lacerations and have scar tissue in the anus and rectum. a colonoscopy can see scar tissue in the anus and rectum and the GI doctor doing the colonoscopy could report that in the colonoscopy report. and a lot of anal sex and dildo use can sometimes cause anal prolapse where the anus and rectum can be pushed out of the anus. this can also be seen on colonoscopy and could be reported.
but if you don't have rectal prolapse and if you don't have any scars in the anus or rectum from dildo use, then there will be nothing noted on the colonoscopy report

I do not have prolapse. I have had anal sex for many years, but have been married to a woman for 30 years. My doctors don't know this situation and I am afraid it would be revealed. Can the colonoscopy tell the difference between anal sex and dildo use? Will the specialist doing the colonoscopy discuss your results before reporting to the primary physician?
Accepted Answer
no, a colonoscopy can not tell between anal sex and routine small dildo use. both of these behaviors can be completely missed on a routine colonoscopy if there are no scar tissue in the rectum.
the GI doctor usually does not discuss the results of the colonoscopy with you affer the procedure. he usually just dictates a report of what he sees.
if you are really worried about this, I would suggest that you talk to the GI doctor prior to the procedure and tell him that you are worried about this coming out in the colonoscopy report and ask him not to mention anything about that. but chances are, he will not see anything that will lead him to conclude that you have had anal se
