Tomorrow i have to get a suppository (medical procedure..2 of them!!) for the first time and i'm 15.. I hear it's where they push a pill up your butt but that's all i know. does it hurt a lot? do i have to take off my clothes?
i'm embarassed about it a lot. do i have to stand up or what do i do? what if i make my cheeks tight together or try to so they cant put it in? what if they put it in and i push it out?
does it make me go to the bathroom the same way or diffferent and longer?

It will be OK. You will need to take your pants off, or down, and either bend over or lay on a table. Suppositories are usually pretty small (like 1/2 the size of your pinkie), so you should not feel any discomfort from it.
Don't worry about being embarassed or knowing what to do at the doctor's office. The doctor is very used to doing this, and knows that people are embarassed about it, so your doctor will know how to handle the whole situation.

it doesn't hurt. You remove your clothes but you are given a hospital gown to wear, you are usually lying on your side when given the suppository, no you won't be able to push the suppository out when in place.
You will have this sudden urge to defacate. The reason for this is so the tests are done with very little fecal matter and the colon is emptied for testing.
It is really a no big deal thing.

No it shouldnt hurt, its not comfortable but it shouldnt hurt. Your rear end will have to be unclothed. I might help if you stand but it will be whatever position the doctors / nurse asks you to be in. You will have to relax to let them insert the suppository. The suppository should dissolve in a little while and shouldn't interfer with bowel movements.

1. Yes you'll have to be naked (well at least from the waist down).
2. You'll probably be laying on your stomach on the table when they put it in.
3. I'm guessing it doesn't hurt.
4. You won't push it out because it'll be too small and any amount of pushing won't do anything to something that tiny.

it doesnt hurt but it does feel kinda funny, i remember i had one as a kid...and they desoolve and you wont even feel it, so dont worry it's no biggie....
they might make you take your bottoms off but not the tops of your clothes, if you dont feel comfy you should ex[press it to the docs or your parents, they will help you get through it.
