How is the bowel movement

Ok so once suppository as a child is done what is next?

It depends on what the suppository contains and how it produces laxative action .

common types are :

glycerin

docusate & lidocaine

generic bisacodyl

glycerin draws water into the bowel thus causing a bowel movement , depending on the child’s bowel habits , the stool can be softened and lubricated if they are indeed constipated .

lidocaine numbs the rectum mildly, docusate is basically a soap that softens stools.

bisacodyl be it taken orally or in a rectal form is a direct mucosal stimulant of your entire bowel and will cause a strong movement clearing any hard stolol followed by a loose unformed quantity of stool and many users find about an hour after the bowel movement will have a mucous discharge we call “butt snot” it’s perfectly normal .

any common laxative can cause a loose movement depending on diet and stool quality and the timing of use .

My mother did at times ask me to flush after pooping if she had doubts about my bowels (possibility of constipation or diarrhea) and likewise she could ask me not to flush when pooping after a suppository, to check if it worked. Needless to say this was not much dignified.

@Pecan_nutjob

that was fearful too. imagine how much stressful it was for a child who does not produce enough results as per his or her mom’s expectations even after having suppository

Once inserted take between 15mins to 30mins work mum all ways checked results if wernt good enough get enema after

As a restraint I got a suppository in the morning and an enema in the evening. The suppository works after 15 minutes. I had to hold the enema for 10 minutes. I wasn't allowed to do the dishes and my mother was always nearby.

As a kid I was a expert holder. My mom tried suppositories which only caused tears to run down my face and my behind to sting. I could get so backed up a doctor tried a fleet enema which only caused very little to move. Finally they tried a large volume enema with a bag and that was the only thing that got me to go. The trauma was quite intense as well. Lots of crying and fussing.

Growing up I only got suppositories for nausea. Unlike my sister who got many for constipation. For me It was usually The big red bag of soapy water. 😢
