Gay men are two times more likely to have inflammatory bowel disease, according to new research (🧐)

Gay men are more than twice as likely to develop inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) than heterosexual men when both populations engage in high-risk sexual activity.

"To our knowledge, this is the first large population-based study that demonstrates a higher prevalence of IBD in men who engage in high-risk same-sex sexual activity," said Emad Mansoor. "Our study is expected to open a new field of research into gastrointestinal inflammatory conditions."

"Studying the cause of IBD in this underrepresented patient population in comparison to other patient groups," said Fabio Cominelli, "will allow us to further investigate the cause of disease development in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis patients and develop personalized precision medicine and treatment strategies, while also reducing stigma."

The study's impact is significant, as more than 7.1% of the United States population identifies as LGBTQIA+, an increase from 5.6% in 2020, according to Gallup.

The team evaluated self-reported data from patients treated at 58 health care organizations in the U.S. between 2002 and 2022.

The data showed that in patients with a diagnosis of high-risk same-sex sexual activity, 0.8% were diagnosed with Crohn's disease and 1.26% with ulcerative colitis. These findings were compared to men who engage in high-risk heterosexual activity, of which, 0.49% had Crohn's disease and 0.52% had ulcerative colitis.

High-risk sexual activity as defined in this study includes sexual contact without barrier protection as well as having multiple sexual partners.

The team also further analyzed the data in relation to Crohn's disease and found men who engaged in high-risk same-sex sexual activity were more likely to have peri-anal disease including peri-anal abscess, rectal abscess and stricturing disease of the colon or small intestine. Among those with severe manifestations of ulcerative colitis, men who engaged in high-risk same-sex sexual activity were more likely to undergo partial colectomy.

So concerned about stigma, aren’t they? Maybe our ancestors were wiser than we give them credit for. Yeah, this nasty thing spreads disease, but please don’t stigmatize it! Crazy!

A fat man goes to a doctor and is told to diet and exercise, but a homosexual who is sick and/or spreading disease by unnatural sex acts with multiple partners?? Doctors probably say bugger away! Wouldn’t want to tell them sodomy is wrong.

Too bad that message will be lost on the butt pirates.

Normally it’s white blood cells that inflame bowels. But that’s not what we are talking here.

An egress is designed for egress, NOT ingress. When you drive the wrong way on a one way street, you are bound to have problems with the police, er proctologist.

Ever notice how the scientific community and their media allies actively discourage common sense?
