Is It Normal for Jetoo Suppositories to Cause Oily Discharge?

Jetoo Rectal Suppository

Hello, doctor.
Recently, I have been using a Jetoo rectal suppository to treat anal fissures.
I noticed that after inserting it, the area around the anus became slightly oily.
Later that night, when I passed gas, the expelled gas had an oily consistency, and the entire anal area felt moist and oily.
When I wiped with toilet paper, I noticed a medicinal smell without any foul odor from feces.
I would like to know if this is normal for this suppository, as I did not experience this issue with the Xymol hemorrhoid suppository I used previously.

Rectal suppositories often contain glycerin, and it is normal for them to melt after use, which can lead to the aforementioned situation.
Please do not worry.
It is generally recommended to use them before bedtime to alleviate this phenomenon.
The severity of this occurrence may vary among different brands of medication due to differing glycerin content.

More Info

Using Jetoo suppositories for the treatment of anal fissures can sometimes lead to an oily discharge, which may be concerning for some patients. It is important to understand the composition of the suppository and how it interacts with the body. Jetoo suppositories typically contain ingredients that are designed to lubricate and soothe the anal area, which can be beneficial for healing fissures. However, these ingredients can also lead to a feeling of moisture or an oily discharge after use.

The oily discharge you are experiencing is likely due to the base of the suppository, which may contain oils or fats that are intended to help the medication dissolve and be absorbed effectively. This is a common characteristic of many suppositories, especially those designed for rectal use. The fact that you notice an oily residue after passing gas is not unusual, as the suppository may not have fully dissolved or absorbed, leading to some of its components being expelled.

In contrast, the Xymol suppositories you previously used may have a different formulation that does not produce the same oily sensation or discharge. Each brand and formulation can vary significantly in terms of ingredients and how they interact with the body.
It is also worth noting that the absence of foul odor and the presence of a medicinal scent suggest that the suppository is functioning as intended, and the discharge is likely a result of the medication rather than an indication of infection or other complications.
If the oily discharge is bothersome or if you experience any additional symptoms such as increased pain, itching, or signs of infection (such as fever or unusual discharge), it would be advisable to consult with your healthcare provider. They can assess whether this reaction is typical for Jetoo suppositories and whether you should continue using them or consider alternative treatments.

In summary, while it is not uncommon for certain suppositories to cause an oily discharge, it is essential to monitor your symptoms and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns. Each individual may react differently to various formulations, and your comfort and health should always be the priority.

Using suppositories will not cause the vaginal opening to become larger or looser. If there are any uncomfortable reactions after using a suppository, it is advisable to consult the prescribing physician to determine whether it is safe to continue using them.
