I've seen a few posts here examining their husband's constant use of hemorrhoid cream. I see the correlation but need more clarification. I know that my husband uses it constantly. Even had to have them lanced. These also started around the same time sex life dropped off. Do all gay men experience hemorrhoids regularly?

That is a good question. Me gay ex didn't but that doesn't mean that all gay men do..

That's so weird you say that mjm017 because my gay boyfriend also has chronic diarrhea. He's not dirty but i thought that him going to bathroom (diarrhea) that many times in a day was abnormal but he seems to think it isn't. I'm like i never met anyone who shits that much in one day. What is Shigellosis?

I think I should add that this infection is also an infection you can get from food that has been contaminated. This one is being spread through the oral fecal route. Basically lots of infections can be spread that way. Basically the guy did anal and somehow didn'r wash his hands before getting the bacteria in his mouth. There are certian gay sex practises that make it highly possible to spreed this one.
