Question : I accidentally put a hemorrhoidal suppository in my vagina instead of Vitamin E vaginal suppository. Am I in danger? Will it ruin my vagina? What are the effects of this?
Brief Answer:
It is not harmful for vagina.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The hemorrhoidal suppository contains lignocaine, cocoa butter and zinc oxide. These are not harmful to the vaginal mucosa. There is no need to worry. You can take out the suppository and wash the area well to decrease its effect.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
