rectal Valium with no syringe?
rectal Valium with no syringe?
Hi, after 10 months of pelvic floor pain and sexual discomfort, I was diagnosed with PN two days ago. My doctor prescribed Valium to be taken rectally every night. It is shipping to my home now. I spoke to the pharmacy and they said you just use your finger to administer this medication. everything I’ve read online says you use a syringe, but those websites talked about it in the context of controlling seizures so I’m not sure if it’s different.... I feel like using my finger wouldn’t get deep enough to get to the nerve. is this a normal thing? Can anyone help this newbie? Trying to get my doctor on the phone but it’s a little tough, and I’m moving out of he country on Monday (this is terrible timing but that’s a whole nother issue).
If anyone has any insight i’d Appreciate it!
Thank you

Re: rectal Valium with no syringe?
Diastat comes in a gel form and is valium that is administered rectally via syringe for seizures. I have administered it to patients before. I'm not sure if that's what your physician prescribed though.
Do you know what form your valium is coming in? Will it be a suppository, tablet or gel? If it's gel, I don't see how you would administer it with your finger. If it's a suppository you could administer it with your finger easily but you might need to stay lying down a short time until it dissolves into the mucous membranes. Some patients on this forum have also administered valium tablets rectally using a finger. So it really depends on what form it is coming in. The instructions should come with the medication so that might help you.

PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.
Re: rectal Valium with no syringe?
thank you! I know it is suppositories. When I spoke to the pharmacy this morning, they said the doctor didn’t specify whether it’d Be used vaginally or rectally I’m the prescription so they didn’t include anything (a syringe or I guess instructions..) He did tell me I should use it rectally though. I just figured since the nerve/muscle is so deep, I would need a syringe to help or something... but if that’s how it’s done then I can do that. Thank you for your help!

The approximate location of the pudendal nerve can be pressed on with a finger via the vagina or the rectum at the ischial spine. So it's deep, but not too deep to reach with a finger.
