Thread: Do hemorrhoids affect vaginal orgasm?

I've been thinking about the lack of orgasm during sex for the last 7 years and it only just recently occurred to me that this could be the reason.

There's your answer: it doesn't take much of a distraction to derail that train before it reaches Orgasm. If the hemorrhoid is causing that pain, that's your cause. You should speak to your doctor about this he/she will tell you that "if it's not causing any problems, don't worry about it," but it clearly IS causing a problem, and some treatment should be done.

I would be a bit concerned about that doctor that told you that your hemorrhoids were going to go away on their own. As a "veteran" of two such surgeries, I can state that short of a miracle, that is not likely to happen. Find yourself another doctor. If you are having pain from your hemorrhoids, its a problem. Fortunately, one that is not too difficult to fix.

In defense of the dr. depending on how the hemorrhoid looks it may very well retract. I had one earlier in the year and it did go away. If they are severe however (7 years seem to fall under that category) then I would recommend going back or seeing another physician. It may or may not be the issue, but it is something worth looking at.

There has been some good advice on this board as well, for issues other than hemorrhoids related distraction

Thanks for the answers, I am considering another check to see how it goes with them. I just feel unlucky for getting one just at 18 and not having reached an orgasm during sex makes me want to blame everything.
