WARNING...THIS IS AN INTIMATE QUESTION AND I AM ONLY INTERESTED IN A SERIOUS ANSWER..Ok, this is kinda hard to talk about but im just going to come right out and ask... does anyone know if having anal sex could lead to diverticulitis. My husband enjoys having it done to him on occasion (fisting to be exact) and now he has diverticulitis..so much so that he had to have surgery and now has an ostomy bag on his abdomen. Im not trying to be funny or to gross anyone out...this is a genuine question that i cant bring myself to ask his doctor.

Hi audreye ~ I do not know the answer to your question concerning the relationship between trauma and diverticulitis, but I have heard that even routine colonoscopies can lead to bowel perforations (one source mentioned odds of 1 perforation for every 1,700 colonoscopies, and up to 1 perforation for every 700 when additional factors are present such as removal of polyps).

Hi,
Not blowing my own trumpet or anything, but I was at the healthiest I had ever been prior to getting UC symptoms. I was eating very healthy and exercising 6/7 days. I'd love to know if any lifestyle factors affect UC, but I suppose I'll have to wait until they figure out what causes it.
I've been trying to occupy myself by being in contact with friends often, but some days I am really not in the mood and find it hard to drag my mind away from what ends up being a mountain of thoughts. I suppose it's all part of the learning process and I'm sure it'll happen less with time. This website has been great so far. It's great to be able to write this sort of stuff down and chat with people that understand what's going on. For that, I thank everyone on this website.
Thanks,
Hamish.

Hi Audrey,
it is hard to speak or honest to Dr or surgeon about what’s reason ending up perforated.
I am also into fisting and other sex activities, unfortunately also ended colostomy. What I frustrated is could not enjoy the way that I can.
closing down my happy play land, mindset often down,
You posted on 2012 ? Does your loved one take revers surgery and can bring back to your “ carefully “ act? If yes, it great to you.
for me, waiting is a long way and isolated.
hope your story will be much happier now. Take care.
