What Causes Constipation?
I recently had upper GI surgery and was instructed to take Dulcolax suppositories if constipation arose in the first week. I was continuing to have constipation and have used 5 suppositories in 2 weeks. I did not realize this was dangerous. Can this cause permanent damage to my intestines?

Hello
No the suppositories won't cause any damage to your intestines--there's really nothing to worry about here
