Suppositories Inserted by Doctors/Nurses

I got suppositories Inserted by nurses many times when I was a child but never by doctors. The memories of going up the exam table and pulling down pants and panty and then wait for the nurse to come over and push in the suppository. I love the feeling! How I wish I can get suppositories inserted by nurses again! Can anyone share their stories getting inserted by doctors/nurses?

I had suppositories inserted by nurses twice, while I was in the hospital. It was done by two different nurses. I believe they inserted suppositories to reduce my fever as I was not allowed to take oral medicine. Each nurse inserted about 3-4 at the same time, I mean one after another. I was on my side. I remember when first nurse came, she said that she got some medicine to reduce fever, I assumed that she will give me an injection as she asked me to lower my underwear, but then suddenly I realized that she was pushing suppositories in my anus. She even said: relax, its gonna be a little cold.

Never from a doctor always a nurse or aide ,during spinal rehab we did therapy until mealtime ,once fed it was "rest time" our diapers would be changed as needed except after eating ,once we ate we got suppositories and fresh diapers no matter what , we would be left in bed resting till we all had used our diapers,then changed and taken to OT mornings ere usually PT afternoon was IT, evenings were family visiting time . It was open to us but locked to the outside ,only authorized family or friends could come onto the unit ,our wardrobe was diapers and gowns unless being fed then we got the bibs also ,you can't be embarrased when that's what everybody is wearing.i have easily gotten suppositories from 500 nurses and aides in my life ( kids don't try this at home !) .

Happened me only once, I was young but remeber it was one evening on ambulance, I had some cold and fever. Doc did some standard examination and then nurse said lay on your stomach, she lowered my pants and underwear... I expected to get a shot, but she spreaded my butt cheeks and then I felt cold tip of suppository and little pressure when she pushed it inside with circular motion... before I could say anything, suppository slided deep inside and she told me with smile you can dress on.

When I was young I remember getting an ekg and a nurse would give me a suppository I think looking back on it as a sedative. I’m not 100% sure but I remember her putting a pill in my butt and then I’d fall asleep.

She held her finger in until I started to dose off.

So a while back I was in hospital after some pretty major surgery and was very constipated, the nurse who was looking after me suggested trying a suppository to get things moving. She gave me a couple to insert myself which I did but because of everything that had been happening I wasn't really able to reach round far enough to insert them very deeply so she said she would do it.

She told me that normally they would have me lying on my side but because of the surgical wound I'de probably find that uncomfortable so suggested that although it was undignified it might be easier if I just bent over the bed. Even in my painkiller befuddled state I wasn't going to argue with that :-) She poked a couple of glycerine suppositories as far up my arse as she could get them. TBH it didn't really deal with the problem but it still gives me something to smile about.

I never thought there was a particular technique to giving a suppository until I felt a "pro" do it when I had home nursing to recover from surgery.

I have written about Angie, whose nursing skills included knowing the art of giving medication in my butt when I was nauseated.

There seemed to be four steps that Angie followed to insert a suppository: position, ready, thrust, and hold. With a little bit of Surgilube on the tip, she positioned the "bullet" gently against the opening, am I ready? a quick thrust, and a few seconds' hold against the side of my rectum, before she withdrew her gloved finger and did a little cleanup with a tissue. The suppository melts and starts working faster if held against a side, she said. Nurse's wisdom.

I learned a lot from Angie during the time she cared for me. She always explained what she was doing. She came from three generations of nurses, so I'm sure there were many times of informal training from family as she grew up.

I was in the hospital twice. Once for tonsillitis and another for a broken arm. I had suppositories on both trips but the memory that is etched in my mind is.. Nurse comes in with a tray, on the tray is. Syringe and something else, it was a foil rapped suppository but I had never seen one or ever had one. I was more concerned about the syringe. She told me she medicine that goes in my bottom and it feels like a thermometer going in my bottom. I am thinking maybe syringe doesn’t have a needle, good with that. I roll over and she pushes suppository in. Whoa ! I think that was allot bigger than any thermometer I’ve had. I roll back over and there she is with a needle and cotton ball in her hand. She says I need to roll over again. I’m thinking you lied to me about the suppository, what’s up with the syringe. I ask her what is the shot for ? She says I need to roll over. We go back and fourth several times and she gives up, nope. She comes back with 2 other nurses. Are you going to roll over ? I say I just want to know what the shot is ? Nurse 2 says ok.. lots of hands and I’m flipped over underwear down, stab and it’s done. She pulls up the rails and says don’t get out of bed. They leave, a few minutes later I’m still mad and go into the bathroom and poop out what’s left of the suppository.. showed them....

Oh I always knew when the nurse left the room and came back with a friend or two...it was going to be a suppository or an injection!!

I got suppositories from nurses in hospital while I was kicking and screaming.

I got them from the nurses at the hospitals when I end up for surgeries or constipation. Was not fun when you got held down and them giving it to u. After so long I learned I was not going to win the battle.

I once had a similar experience when I was a young girl and badly constipated. I remember being taken to the pediatrician’s office by my mother Soon I was seen by a very nice young nurse that helped me up onto the exam table and took my panties down so the doctor could examine me. After the doctor examined my rectum I remember him asking the nurse to go get some suppositories. Then the nurse came over and held my hand while the doctor placed two of them inside me.

Few years ago i was in hospital with back injury, meds bunged me up so they gave me a little pot of liquid with the pills, waste of time, anyway one day a staff nurse came by and asked how i was, so i told her i was bunged uo, so she said i will be back in a minute with suppositories, oooh goodie, lol , anyway lie on side and she pushed two right in, told me to lie still as long as i could,anyway, i went off to the toilet and heaved a large lump out then returned to bed. later she asked me if they worked, foolishly i said yes, maybe i could have suggested an enema . Interestingly i got 2 supps when and ones you buy say insert one, ive heard this before about hospitals, they trying to make sure they work ?

In the hospital for constipation hated them fought them screamed cried

I came home from work one day to find a family member sick with a high fever. She is a person with a disability, and cerebral palsy makes her quadriplegic and mute. I rushed her to the E.D. They took her into triage almost from the moment we arrived. They took her directly from there to a pod in the back. As I lifted her out of her chair, a doctor rushed in and hastily introduced herself. She was clutching something in her hand. She asked me to help her out of clothes and into a gown, which I did. As soon as she hit the hospital bed the doctor moved in, looked her straight in the eyes, and said, “I’m sorry, but this is going to be a little uncomfortable.” Then I saw what she was holding: two foiled-wrapped suppositories. Faster than I could think about it, that doctor had removed the foil and reach behind our patient to deliver a double dose of Tylenol P.R. “There, all done,” she said, explaining that the Tylenol suppositories should help reduce her fever more quickly than anything else they could do short of (as she put it) torture. That’s the only time I’ve ever seen a doctor administer suppositories.

No real life experience with this, but would certainly like it to be a part of an "appt" in future...should I be so lucky!

I was just in the hospital for surgery and the second night the nurse asked me if I had had a bowel movement and I told her no I hadn’t. She said We’ll get you something for that. A while later she came back and told me, “ it’s a suppository so it will have to go in your rectum. I rolled onto my side and she pulled back the covers and opened my gown. A second later I felt the suppository enter my rectum.

@Gin In my experience when I was 8 i think the nurse knew that I was into suppositories because she was preparing it with joy 😂

She was looking at me and smiling

I was 22 and in the hospital, recovering after an accident. 35 years ago and I still remember the experience. I was trying to sleep but was feeling agitated. A nurse said she would give me something, but I didn't want another shot. A few minutes later she returned and put on surgical gloves. "This will relax you and help you sleep, it won't hurt." She pulled down the covers and helped turn me on my side. "Can you take a deep breath for me?" I felt the thrust of her finger pushing the suppository into my bottom, and she kept it inside me for several seconds. I never knew what the medication was, but within about 10 minutes I felt like I was floating and fell asleep. It was the first time I remember a nurse giving me a suppository.

Later, when I was recovering at home, another nurse gave me suppositories, which I discovered can very effective when I couldn't take meds orally.
