Anal finger
Hi dr I have a habit to finger anus
Today I read an article on how to know your anus in and out
So I tried to check it out
They mentioned names of a lot of internal parts of the rectum And advised to insert finger and feel as far as one can
While checking I reached to a part that felt like the outside of the anus to touch but it was very soft closed organ surrounded by a large ring to the outside
It felt like a closed mini anus inside about 2 inches away
What is that doctor
Can u pls tell me
My friend is in medical profession who told me it could be the dentate line or
Above it
Is she correct
Should I not opt for anal fingering ?
Pls help me
