Anal Trauma in Men: A Restorative and Trauma-Informed Approach
Anal trauma in men is an often hidden and under-discussed issue, yet it can have profound impacts on physical function, sexual health, and psychological well-being. Whether the result of consensual sexual activity, a medical procedure, an athletic injury, or assault, anal trauma can lead to long-term symptoms such as rectal pain, bleeding, bowel dysfunction, and pelvic floor dysfunction. Men may avoid seeking care due to embarrassment, fear of judgment, or previous dismissive experiences in healthcare settings.

Rehabilitation is not just supportive care, it is a proactive, evidence-based approach that improves quality of life and accelerates functional recovery.
