How to Insert Vaginal Suppositories

Subscribing to my channel is greatly appreciated!! If your doctor has prescribed vaginal suppositories, you may be wondering how they work. A suppository is a medicine delivery system that can be used to insert various drugs, herbs, hormones or lubricants into the vagina. Once the suppository is in your vagina, it will dissolve, releasing the medicine to treat a condition of the vagina like a yeast infection or the entire body like hormone treatments. If youre inserting a tablet or ointment, the suppository might come with a plastic applicator to help you insert it.1 ---------------------------------------------------- Image Attributions------------------------------------------------------- Image: Insert-Vaginal-Suppositories-Step-1 | By:Wikivisual0 - Link:https://www.wikihow.com/images/2/27/Insert-Vaginal-Suppositories-Step-1.jpg - licensed by Creative Commons - cc-by-sa-nc-3.0-self ---- https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/ -Last updated:15:56, 25 June 2016 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Image: Insert-Vaginal-Suppositories-Step-2 | By:Wikivisual0 - Link:https://www.wikihow.com/images/8/82/Insert-Vaginal-Suppositories-Step-2.jpg - licensed by Creative Commons - cc-by-sa-nc-3.0-self ---- https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/ -Last updated:15:56, 25 June 2016 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Image: Insert-Vaginal-Suppositories-Step-3 | By:Wikivisual0 - Link:https://www.wikihow.com/images/d/db/Insert-Vaginal-Suppositories-Step-3.jpg - licensed by Creative Commons - cc-by-sa-nc-3.0-self ---- https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/ -Last updated:15:56, 25 June 2016 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Image: Insert-Vaginal-Suppositories-Step-4 | By:Wikivisual0 - Link:https://www.wikihow.com/images/c/c1/Insert-Vaginal-Suppositories-Step-4.jpg - licensed by Creative Commons - cc-by-sa-nc-3.0-self ---- https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/ -Last updated:15:56, 25 June 2016 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Image: Insert-Vaginal-Suppositories-Step-5 | By:Wikivisual0 - Link:https://www.wikihow.com/images/e/ec/Insert-Vaginal-Suppositories-Step-5.jpg - licensed by Creative Commons - cc-by-sa-nc-3.0-self ---- https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/ -Last updated:15:56, 25 June 2016 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Image: Insert-Vaginal-Suppositories-Step-6 | By:Wikivisual0 - Link:https://www.wikihow.com/images/3/3b/Insert-Vaginal-Suppositories-Step-6.jpg - licensed by Creative Commons - cc-by-sa-nc-3.0-self ---- https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/ -Last updated:15:56, 25 June 2016 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Website---------------------------------https://www.wikihow.com------------------- ---------------------------------------------- Expert Reviewer--//www.wikihow.com/Special:ArticleReviewers?name=carrienoriega,mdcarrienoriega,md ---- Carrie Noriega, MD ------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------References--------------------- ---http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0072623/ ---http://www.safemedication.com/safemed/MedicationTipsTools/HowtoAdminister/How-to-Use-Vaginal-Tablets-Suppositories-and-Creams ---http://pharmlabs.unc.edu/labs/suppository/inserting.htm ---http://www.safemedication.com/safemed/MedicationTipsTools/HowtoAdminister/How-to-Use-Vaginal-Tablets-Suppositories-and-Creams ---http://pharmlabs.unc.edu/labs/suppository/inserting.htm ---http://www.safemedication.com/safemed/MedicationTipsTools/HowtoAdminister/How-to-Use-Vaginal-Tablets-Suppositories-and-Creams ---http://pharmlabs.unc.edu/labs/suppository/inserting.htm ---http://www.safemedication.com/safemed/MedicationTipsTools/HowtoAdminister/How-to-Use-Vaginal-Tablets-Suppositories-and-Creams ---http://pharmlabs.unc.edu/labs/suppository/inserting.htm ---http://www.safemedication.com/safemed/MedicationTipsTools/HowtoAdminister/How-to-Use-Vaginal-Tablets-Suppositories-and-Creams ---http://pharmlabs.unc.edu/labs/suppository/inserting.htm ---http://www.safemedication.com/safemed/MedicationTipsTools/HowtoAdminister/How-to-Use-Vaginal-Tablets-Suppositories-and-Creams ---http://pharmlabs.unc.edu/labs/suppository/inserting.htm ---http://www.womensinternational.com/pdf/Insert_Suppositories.pdf ---http://www.safemedication.com/safemed/MedicationTipsTools/HowtoAdminister/How-to-Use-Vaginal-Tablets-Suppositories-and-Creams ---http://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/terconazole-vaginal-route/proper-use/drg-20061411 ---
