I used a lot of them when I was undergoing colo-rectal surgery, without any issues.

For anyone recently having had a biopsy or RP, I would think extreme care for insertion. Your doctor should be the reference for that question in those cases.

jte:

No problem here. I had to use it before each of my 5 CK treatments and before I had my CtScan and MRI done during the work-up. It works great (?).

Well...I used them before biopsy and surgery...Finding the right spot with the thingy while you are on your knees with your bass stuck up in the air is harder than it sounds lol...and when you squeeze....commit fully and give it a good go....and get ready...It's coming. Stay in that position for a minute or two...:)

It's an awkward process, but seems to work okay. My biggest issue is that I squeeze the dickens out of that plastic bottle and when I look afterwards, I'm surprised that close to a third is still in the bottle. The instructions say that you don't have to use the whole bottle, but I have this feeling that I should be using more.

I get another chance to practice on Wednesday, since I'm supposed to do it to prep for my brachy the following day.

If you have problems with insertion, you can always ask the wife to assist - or the neighbor ...
