Yeah, why is that if you wipe to vigorously and get scratches around your butthole, it doesn’t get infected by all the poop ?
Hank Green asked this about anal fissures and had a bunch of doctors replying. From what I remember your immune system is different in different parts of your body and your body is prepared to handle it down there. Unless your immune system gets compromised then it can get infected.
Generally “poop bacteria” such as e-coli do not cause skin infections, they thrive in a different environment. Even infections in the anal region are generally caused by skin bacteria such as Staphylococcus.
Beyond skin infections, what happens when they enter your bloodstream? Id figure that’d happen with a broken hemorrhoid, since it’s basically and open wound that poop just sits on all day
They do. It’s why you have an immune system. You’re literally being attacked millions of times per day but keep it in check.
Ahem…kept in cheek😆
good one!
Shouldn’t this be in lemmy shitpost?
It can happen. And when it does, it can be horrendously painful and hard to treat.
What are you wiping with???
He doesn’t know how to use the three shells.
So do you just scoop it out with those shells or what?
Dry paper is abrasive.
You’re not supposed to use regular paper
Just messaging so I can return and check answers here. I’m curious as well.
Bidet
too French.
Biden
You can say it however you want. Just let it cleanse you.
superhero whos entire body is a butt. never gets diseases
Do you wipe with a cheese grater?
I don’t understand how you are scratching you brown eye when you wipe.
1-ply public washroom paper is not far off a cheese grater, so…

You would stop getting butthole scratches if you started using a bidet. Gah. Americans are so gross.
Explain to me how not using a bidet is an American thing? I’ve traveled to many countries and rarely seen a bidet. I know several Americans who use bidets, myself included. Just got back from Europe actually, where I witnessed zero bidets. Glad I took my portable one.
Also why are you assuming op is American?
Because America is an easy target. Half the country demonstrated beyond doubt that they’re too stupid to be in charge of a pet rock. We’re low hanging fruit because of that. I can’t say I disagree either.
This is just bizarre and irrelevant.
We’re talking about open anus wounds. The current American government is especially relevant, since the sitting president is an open anus wound gifted with the ability to speak.
We had bidets in France in the 80/90s but it’s not a thing anymore.
Yeah I haven’t seen them in France on my trips there. I really have only seen them in the middle east and I also saw (a very old school) one in a hotel room in Italy.
signature look of European superiority
bidets are slowly catching on in America! my parents got one like seven years ago, and if I didn’t live in an apartment, I’d get one too lol. they’re rare (and there’s none in most businesses) but eventually we’ll get there
You can get a bidet that attaches to virtually any toilet for like $30. Pretty easy to install/uninstall in most cases too. Check out Luxe bidets. I’ve had good luck with them.
if they involve the plumbing in anyway, it’s not allowed at my apartment, otherwise I’d get one!
Sure – you know best for your situation. Just throwing it out there that it’s normally just an already-exposed water line that you turn off, flush the toilet, then disconnect and put the bidet inline, then reconnect. So it’s not really a high risk thing. See this video if you’re interested at all: https://youtu.be/4SDpzj6wTMQ?t=249
I’ve installed and uninstalled these things in like 7 apartments now I think :) No one ever told me I couldn’t, but if they had I probably would have done it anyway since I’d make sure it was done right and did not leak.
hmm, I may give it a go then
Nice.
