Dr Zainab Suleiman, a prominent health expert, has raised concerns about the risks associated with anal sex, particularly in Northern Nigeria.
In a recent Facebook post, she likened the prevalence of teenage pregnancy in the region to a “new refinery”, suggesting a growing issue that needs attention.
Dr Suleiman plans to elaborate on the health implications of anal sex, including hemorrhoids and loss of anal sphincter control, in a forthcoming post.
“Teenage pregnancy in the north is the new refinery. Will write about this tomorrow (Tuesday) and I will be diving into hemorrhoid and lose of anal sphincter,” she wrote.
