I'm scared to ask what this rectal foam is for...

If DocBastard was here, I'm sure he would have some good advice for you.

It's not an uncommon treatment for a variety of things to use rectal medication. However, if you're still uncomfortable with it after three months it's good you asked for a switch. It's also good that you agreed to try this medication (assuming you had the choice) even if you weren't sure about it at first! I hope you find a better medication that's more comfortable for you, OP.

If MY doctor suggested a "syringe" in my ass injecting "mediated foam" I would seriously want a second opinion!

Patient - "Doc, these suppositories taste like shit. Do you have any other flavors?" Doctor - "Wait, you're EATING them?!" Patient - "No, I'm sticking them up my ass. Of course I'm eating them!"

My fiancé used to use cortifoam for UC. He doesn't need it anymore. He had a colectomy and J-pouch surgery, and has another med he applies like the foam.

I understand what you're going through. I was diagnosed with UC almost 2 years ago. My doctor prescribed enemas for me too. But I only have to take them when I really feel I need them. So all-in-all its not too bad. They are rather unpleasant to hold in though. That's why I try to do it right before going to sleep so I pass out instead of focusing on the discomfort. My advice is, is that if you're really that uncomfortable with it, see if there's something else that works - maybe there's an oral alternative? Or if your doctor refuses to help you find a solution, find a new doctor. Just my two cents :)

my aunt once had to do that i asked her how it eas she said it was a real pain in the ass having to take it twice a day

My, what a thoughtful and compassionate doctor you have, OP. Not at all the kind of professional who would drive me to seek out a second opinion...

who'd be comfortable with that??
