Other infections like human papillomavirus (HPV) (which can increase risk of anal cancer and typhoid fever), amoebiasis; chlamydia; E. coli infections; giardiasis; gonorrhea; hepatitis A; hepatitis B; hepatitis C; herpes simplex...
Physical damage
Physical damage to the rectum and anus can manifest as generalized ano-rectal trauma, anal fissures, rectal prolapse, and exacerbating hemorrhoids. Adequate lubrication and preparation reduces the risk of physical trauma.
