Okay, I didn't see a forum for hemorrhoids, so I figure this is the closest thing to people who might know about
my issue.
I have an internal hemorrhoid and was prescribed Anucort HC suppository. It is a waxy thing about
the size of a bullet. I inserted it, and felt like it was going in all the way to where it was supposed to but now I'm not sure. I've never had anything manually inserted into my anus (that I'm aware of
), so I'm unsure if I have this right.
It isn't falling out if i just stand in place, but if i spread my cheeks and look in a mirror, I can see the end of the suppository still. Should it be higher up? Also, about
20 minutes after insertion, some suppository started to leak out into my underwear, as there is a waxy substance there. This leads me to believe that the medicine is ending up in my underwear instead of at the hemorrhoid where it should be. Is this expected?
Does anyone have any advice or thoughts? Thanks.
