There are many types of suppositories.
Some are vaginal and you put the table or the suppository in your vagina and others are anal and you put it up you rectum. They generally have some type of medication in them and can be for a variety of things.

:), pardon while I laugh....Ahem, a suppository is any medicine that can be administered in the rectal area. Because in most cases where a suppository is involved, the medicine can be absorbed rather quickly. I hope that answers your question!

A suppository is a medicine that is inserted either into the rectum (rectal suppository), vagina (vaginal suppository) or urethra (urethral suppository) where it melts

It's a bullet-shaped medication in a glycerine base that is inserted into the anus. It melts because of body heat, and the medication is absorbed through the mucous membrane.
