If you cannot hold it after using glycerine suppository, you should defecate promptly, and generally there is no need to worry too much.
Glycerine suppository is a topical cathartic, often used clinically as a laxative to promote bowel movements and treat constipation.
Generally, there are two types of glycerine suppository: one contains glycerin, and the other contains sorbitol and magnesium sulfate. Although the ingredients of these two medications are different, their effects are the same. They can soften stool and stimulate the intestines, helping patients defecate.
When using glycerine suppository, you need to pierce the top of the container, apply a small amount of grease on the outside, gently insert it into the anus, and then squeeze the medication into the rectum. The dosage for children should be reduced appropriately.
Generally, the medication will take effect within 5 to 10 minutes after administration. If the symptoms are severe, the medication may take longer to take effect. After taking the medication, patients may feel a relatively strong urge to defecate, which is a normal phenomenon. They should defecate promptly.
However, it should be noted that long-term use of glycerine suppository can lead to drug dependence, and severe cases may lose the ability and awareness to defecate autonomously.
In addition, if constipation is caused by intestinal diseases, glycerine suppository alone cannot be relied on for defecation. Timely medical attention should be sought, and the underlying disease should be actively treated after a clear diagnosis to effectively improve constipation symptoms.
Pay attention to your diet daily, drink more water, and engage in appropriate exercise to reduce the risk of constipation. If there is a need for medication, it should be used under the guidance of a professional doctor to avoid serious adverse reactions caused by blind use.
