Constipation..?


Question:
During last wk I was suffering from serious constipation and went to hospital. There, instead of giving me enema nurse had insrted a capsule in my rectum. wht is this? is it normal?

Answers:
Yes, it's called a Dulcolax suppository and is frequently used in hospitals.

The active ingredient in Dulcolax®, bisacodyl USP, is released in the large intestine, where it stimulates the bowel muscles to contract and, thereby, push the bowel's contents along. The same ingredient also helps ease elimination by accumulating water to soften the bowel's contents. The effect is both to help soften the stool and make it pass through more quickly.

And yes, it's normal.

boy.u must be real ugly.someone mistaking ur a s s for ur mouth.ha ha ha ha.
I am guessing that the capsule was supposed to loosen up your stool where you could defecate easier without having to strain. I would say it probably is normal if a nurse gave it to you.
it was a laxative. yes its normal. eat apples to prevent this from happening again!
see a doctor he can give u medicine or he can tell if it is something u ate
haha. that is an enema. modern day. old day was a litre of soap/water/glycerine pumped into you via a tube. consider yourself lucky. and if your young, consider yourself warned cause if that thing you had didn't work you'd get what i said.

A laxative. Yes this is normal. It works faster if put up the rectum. Not to worry.
once my younger bro suffered from constipation, he was also given the same treatment. so i dont think the nurse made any mistake with u. Hope u r well now.
It is normal
just drink apple cider with honey for a 2 days and believe me you will be in there for quite a while . a glass or cup of water, 2TBS of apple-cider , 2 TBS of honey . stir and drink it .
They used to have this joke about a suppository. What is stronger than Superman? Exslax-- since it can knock the shyte out of Superman. An enema is more effective and better but I guess no one wants to give it. Learn how to do it yourself. Models and dancers do it before an event to flatten their stomach.
