A member asked:

Used glycerin suppository couple days ago. concerned i have not gone much since. am i still constipated or will it take couple days for bm to regulate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not much treatment: A glycerin suppository is not much more than a bit of petroleum jelly like material in a glob. It is not going to fix constipation but might allow a bulky stool to pass. Constipation results when the stool debris remains in the large bowel where water is removed. Your diet &or lack of emptying allows this to happen. Effective control of constipation may take months, diet change & Miralax.
