Introduction
Under normal circumstances, possible side effects of using Glycerin Suppositories (Kaisailu) may include intestinal irritation, dependency, anal and rectal injury, electrolyte imbalance, and disruption of the intestinal microecology. When using Glycerin Suppositories, it is important to follow the doctor's instructions strictly and avoid excessive or frequent use. If adverse reactions occur, appropriate measures should be taken promptly.

Generally, the possible side effects of using glycerin suppositories may include intestinal irritation, dependency, anal rectal injury, electrolyte imbalance, and disruption of the intestinal microecology. Detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Intestinal Irritation

Glycerin suppositories mainly contain glycerin or sorbitol, which promote bowel movements by stimulating the intestinal wall. Frequent or improper use may excessively irritate the intestines, leading to disordered intestinal motility and causing abdominal cramping pain. It may also damage the intestinal mucosa, resulting in inflammatory reactions such as redness, congestion, and an increased risk of intestinal infection.

2. Dependency

Long-term use of glycerin suppositories may cause the intestines to become dependent on them, gradually weakening the body's natural defecation reflex and intestinal motility function. Once discontinued, the intestines may be unable to evacuate independently, worsening constipation symptoms, creating a vicious cycle, and further deteriorating bowel function.

3. Anal and Rectal Injury

Improper use of glycerin suppositories, such as excessive force or incorrect angle during insertion into the anus, may damage the mucous membranes and muscle tissues of the anus and rectum. This may lead to anal fissures, causing anal pain and rectal bleeding, potentially resulting in rectal mucosal damage and bleeding, increasing the likelihood of infection and other anorectal diseases.

4. Electrolyte Imbalance

Glycerin-based suppositories, when used excessively, may allow large amounts of glycerin to be absorbed into the bloodstream through the intestines. Long-term or excessive use could affect the body's electrolyte balance, especially the metabolism of electrolytes such as potassium and sodium. This may lead to hypokalemia (low potassium levels), causing symptoms such as fatigue, muscle pain, and arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), and in severe cases, may affect the normal functioning of the heart and neuromuscular system.

5. Disruption of Intestinal Microecology

Excessive use of glycerin suppositories may disrupt the balance of normal intestinal flora. Under normal circumstances, beneficial and harmful bacteria in the intestines inhibit each other, maintaining intestinal health. However, changes in the intestinal environment may inhibit the growth and proliferation of beneficial bacteria, allowing harmful bacteria to multiply, triggering intestinal dysfunction, causing digestive symptoms such as diarrhea and bloating, reducing intestinal immunity, and increasing susceptibility to intestinal infections.

When using glycerin suppositories, strictly follow the doctor's instructions to avoid excessive or frequent use. If adverse reactions occur, appropriate measures should be taken promptly. At the same time, maintain good living and dietary habits to promote intestinal health.
