View 1 RepliesI have used a vaginal suppository prescribed by gyn in night. In morning, there was a gross whitish deposit on the inner wear. I took bath and cleaned up well, but now also, I see certain discharge on my underwear and some whitish granules on the vulva.
Have I used the suppository in some wrong way? and is there anything I should have done in morning to clean up?
How do I put these on?? and how long do I leave it in for? Can I have sex after putting one in if so for how long till having sex?

View 1 RepliesI was prescribed this drug for a cold and nasty cough which wouldn't clear up. After two days of taking the tablets my vagina and anal area became very sore and swollen also with little blister like spots. I stopped taking the tablets and three days later am still suffering.Has anyone else experienced side effects like this.
View 2 RepliesDuring one of my sexual encounters, the guy I was with slipped up and stuck his penis in my butt by accident. I ended up becoming infected vaginally with chlamydia and I had tested positive for herpes 1. I don't know if he was the one that infected me, but would I have also gotten it in my butt then as well if he was infected? I took doxycycline for 7 days, 2 times a day and cured myself of chlamydia vaginally. Would that have cured it in my butt as well if I had become infected there?
View 1 RepliesI'm a 28 y/o heterosexual female. I am confused as to the nature of small, flesh-colored bumps I have near the opening of my vagina and am hoping someone can shed light on what these can potentially be. Firstly, please note that I have made a gynecologist appointment for Friday morning (1/8). I'm sure we're all familiar with the agony of waiting for an appointment, and then waiting some more to receive test results, so I'm hoping that describing the ailment here will help me narrow down the possible causes and relieve some anxiety.
Please bear with me--there are several variables to my situation, including my having the Mirena IUD placed, as well as developing a yeast infection post-placement (common when changing birth control methods, as the disruption in hormone levels affects the pH of the vagina).
Timeline and Facts:
I recently began a monogamous relationship in mid-November, 2015. My male partner and I used condoms in the beginning, but stopped once he was screened for STDs (including HIV and an HSV blood antibody test) and got a clean bill of health. I had been tested in August, 2015 and my results were all negative (my tests included the standard screening, plus an HSV blood antibody test). To date, all of my Pap Smears have been normal.
On 12/27/15, I noticed mild irritation near my vaginal opening, but believed that was due to either 1) frequent intercourse the previous two days, or 2) the beginning of a genital pimple. I've had a genital pimple before, which I learned to recognize by its white head, individual presentation, and rapid disappearance after treatment with a hot compress. When I've developed a genital pimple in the past, it was after either masturbation or intercourse wherein I didn't clean myself thoroughly enough and some remaining fluid clogged my pores. Because I'd been having frequent intercourse 12/25 - 12/26, I thought perhaps I was getting another pimple, and so I treated the area with a hot compress.
On 12/28/15, I visited my gynecologist to have the Mirena IUD placed. Placement, although somewhat painful, went well and fairly quickly. I had some spotting and cramping for three days afterward (to be expected after an IUD placement), but nothing alarming. During the IUD placement appointment, I asked the nurse to draw blood for STD screening, as I hadn't been tested since August and wanted to be sure I was still healthy. I was tested for HIV, HSV 1 & 2 (blood antibody test), Syphilis, and Hepatitis A, B, & C. All results were negative. I was not tested for Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, HPV, or Trichomonas because the nurse did not perform a pelvic exam or swab.
My partner and I waited two days after the IUD placement to have sex (12/30), and we were careful not to be aggressive, as an IUD can sometimes be expelled from the uterus. The morning after having sex (12/31), I noticed that my vagina was somewhat sore and inflamed. I believed this to be related to the IUD placement coupled with having sex shortly thereafter. However, the soreness and inflammation continued and grew more intense, and by 1/1 I was also experiencing itchiness on and around my labia. Having had yeast infections before, I used a hand mirror to view my vulva. My labia were red and inflamed and I saw some white discharge. On 1/2 I treated myself at home by drinking fresh lemon juice and eating yogurt with live bacteria cultures. My symptoms improved overnight, and while I was happy to have physical relief, I decided to also treat with a Monistat suppository on 1/4 to be sure that the infection was gone.
On 1/4, while inspecting my vulva again prior to inserting the suppository, I noticed two small, smooth, flesh-colored, slightly raised bumps on my labia minora, immediately outside of my vaginal opening (the vaginal opening itself was still slightly inflamed). The bumps don't appear to have any kind of head on them, aren't open sores, and have no pain, discomfort, or itching associated with them. My previous soreness and itchiness had been located higher on the vulva, between the folds of the labia and closer to the urethra--so I was surprised to find bumps, as I hadn't had any pain or itching near my vaginal opening. Today (1/6), the bumps are still present, even after my yeast infection symptoms have disappeared.
I am confused as to what these bumps could be. I've always tested negative for HSV 1 & 2 (including my most recent testing on 12/28), and I had the Gardasil HPV vaccine as a teenager, before I became sexually active. I know that Gardasil protects against the cancer-causing strains of HPV, as well as 90% of the wart-causing strains. I suppose this could be warts caused by one of the strains not covered by Gardasil--how soon after exposure would warts appear, if this is the case?
To add even MORE information: my male partner's last relationship lasted ten years, was monogamous, and ended in June, 2015. He had not been screened for STDs in four years, which is why I asked him to be tested in early December 2015 when our relationship was getting more serious.
2 days ago, I had protected vaginal sex with an escort. She also gave me protected BJ, but she licked my testicles as well which were not covered.
The girl had a lot of "old' bumbles in her back and cheeks as if they were teenage acne marks, but nothing at all down there and nothing at all around her lips. Therefore, I didn't care about them and still kissed her in her back and kissed her in her lips and cheek.
After one hour I felt kind of dizzy and my throat started to soar a little bit. Now, my throat started to hurt me again (very very mild) with a little bit drowsiness.
I'm really worried that I could've gotten something from her
What are my risks of getting any STDs? and what are they?
Thanks in advance
Have posted before this Xmas saying things haven't been too bad, and that's right. But things changed earlier today when I felt a fire building up in my Vagina! Anyway I used one of my Suppositories and sat quietly for half an hour and the burning was easing! It's about the quickest I have ever known a suppository to work! It's not perfect but before I used the suppository my discomfort, on a scale of 1 - 10 was 10. After using the suppository, it's down to about 1.
View 26 RepliesI ordered four packs of the Key E suppositories from US because they were so much cheaper ( then got walloped with £18 in import duty so no they weren't) and ordered some Tea Tree suppositories at the same time as I had read how these were soothing.
Tried one yesterday and as expected very tingly but by last night I was dry as a bone, sore and today burning up like crazy so will not be using these again. Back to the Key E and coconut oil for me
I've been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis yesterday and was given 30 x 500 mg suppositories but the consultant said I would have my next appointment in 3 months time.I have to use one per night.Do I use them just for 30 days or should I ask my doctor for some more after 30 days ? It's all very new to me.
View 5 RepliesI am 31 female and have IBS with constipation. This plus childbirth has given me some nasty hemorrhoids. This is the first really painful ones I have ever had so I went to urgent care and was sent home with Lidocaine ointment and hydrocortisone suppositories. Last night in a nice soaking bath I farted. I thought "wow that didn't hurt. This stuff works wonders". Then I smelt an awful smell and looked to see orange oil floating in the tub. My whole body smelt awful. It was so greasy and hard to wash off in the shower I took.
Today it. Happened again. Can it be the suppository? I don't eat fish or cashews (allergic to cashew) all that is all the internet had to offer.
Are suppositories safe for everyday use? What about more than once a day?
I can't find any good information on this.
I have had 2 miscarriages in the last 7 months, my doctor believes that is an issue with low progesterone. I am currently 3dpo, my doctor wants me to wait until I get a bfp to start my progesterone suppositories, but I keep reading that if I wait that long it might be to late. Should I begin the progesterone suppositories now or wait until my bfp like my doctor advised me to?
View 3 RepliesI saw that several people on here at success with the ProsCure Suppositories. So I thought finally something that will work and now they don't sell them any more. No longer available it says. I've looked on the internet and can't find a thing on them or the company that made them. It's like they have dropped off the face of the earth. Is there another product comparable?
View 2 RepliesI have a prolapsed bowel and had a ventral mesh retrospect major surgery for it and found it hoisted my prolapse up but in doing so it created a situation whereby getting poo from A to B in my colon was a non starter, it just wasn't functioning anymore and I was so frequent I was still post surgery opening my bowels 16 to 22 times a day, 10 plus with two codeine daily and nightly, I've had six years of torture, misdiagnosis etc, things failing to show up on proctograms and colonoscopies so have now asked for an MRI scan as to all accounts I have heard they are more reliable and now at the 11th hour the Consultant is considering it, I feel suicidal, I strain so much I risk brain aneurysm and appendicitis every time I go, it is painful, nothing is being done.
Then my Consultant gave me a course of glycerine suppositories, I took one the first day, the result was buckets of slime, both brown and transparent, infernal internal itching, gross levels of colonic irritation and all sorts of unpleasant - I wont say SIDE effects as these were ACTUAL effects, and I was up all night long didn't get a wink of sleep where instead of the usual on the loo every 20 mins I was on there every ten. I had started the course in the genuine belief it would cause my poo to come down in the desired "one fell swoop" that it hasn't for six years, its been tortuous, but never again will I try glycerin suppositories, glycerin and my backside, a mis match!
The situation now is I have written to both GP and Consultant, requested a MRI scan, as literally every other sort of test has been done multiple times over, and they lie basically they do not show up what is wrong in my genuine experience, hence my having to wait 18 months of this sort of test with the full extent and requirement for surgery not being recognised, yet I was fully prolapsed as was indicated when the surgeon did a "hands on examination" under anaesthetic, I was up till then met with reluctance to believe the symptoms I was experiencing were true and some extremely snotty attitudes, I can tell you, anyway, aside from requesting an MRI, being considered, i am due to have home colonic irrigation but dubious seeing as the pessaries were a complete disaster, but will try anything suggested as i have co operated with every single test they;ve booked me, and I also have made enquiries about an operation that removes part of the colon but unlike with a full colonoscopy you still poo through your anus, as every time i have mentioned this operation they have bypassed and sidetracked me, and tried, yet again to put my complaints about the most severe and difficult to live with of symptoms, down to behavioural and therefore not needing to be treated, because i am also for my sins a schizophrenic, so I feel this is getting political and has been for some time so I am going to get a bit political myself back and suggest these things to the Consultant and point out the shortcomings that I can see where they appear to need a magnifying glass to recognise or admit to the same syndrome, wish me luck, but if you do get offered glycerine suppositories, be warned, as for me they did not bring things down in that which I would beg and plead for readily, in "one fell swoop", I found quite the reverse, they irritated the living daylights out of my colon and kept me awake all night and in great degree of distress, just warning those of us in my position as i feel its my duty really. Keep your chin up everyone out there.
i just wanted to add something that extremely helped!!!! cortisone suppositories prescribed by GP for 7 days, and this itching was gone!
View 1 RepliesI'm a 48 yr old lady who has UC now for 25 years. I was diagnosed when i was 6 months pregnant and the flare lasted until my daughter was 2 years old. I have had several episodes over the last 20 or so years, but all have been controlled with rectal Mesalazine. Sept 2012 I had a major flare up while on vacation in USA and hadn't brought any meds with me. I have been bad ever since. I have had the 10 weeks of steroids which cleared it up, but as soon as i stopped them it started all over again. I was put on 200 mg of Azathioprine, 400 mg Ferrous Sulphate, 4 g of Mesalazine oral as well as the supositories. Grim.......so tired, so low. Jan I was put on Adacolumn for 8 weeks of dialysis. This gave me a months break, but the symptoms returned along with leg ulcers (pyoderma gangrenosum) and an amazing pox, warty virus all along my abdomen, and thighs. The skin Dr said it was all due to the Azathioprine. Weighing up the pros and cons, My consultant and I have decided to stop the Azathioprine and start me on Arsenic suppositories.....sounds gruesome. Has anyone else been down a similar path?
View 1 RepliesI'm looking into the method of inserting boric acid suppositories and then taking probiotics and I am just curious as to how long others have inserted these suppositories for?
A useful source of on here (who thankfully gave me the suggestion!) said for 3 nights she inserted them but I've also read in other places, different amounts of nights.
I've had a bacterial infection off and on four four years now. I've tried everything. But just recently I was prescribed boric acid suppositories. The second day I noticed an immediate relief in my symptoms. However, with continued use, I've been bleeding vaginally and it doesn't seem like menstrual blood. My doctor said it's normal, but I know it isn't. It gets lighter throughout the day, but when I wake up, it's heavy again after wiping myself. I don't know what to do.
