Help with choosing glycerin suppository or dulcolax

Hi everyone,

I had some mild cramping last Thursday which got a lot worse on Friday (pretty much felt it any I drank or ate anything). I managed to go to the toilet on Friday afternoon after having terrible cramps but it wasn't the best feeling although the cramping did subside.

But ive since not gone to the toilet and im feeling quite backed up- theres a low pressure at the bottom of my anus and no matter how much water/warm liquids or fibre rich food i consume, I cant go to the toilet.

If anyone has had similar symptoms, did taking an oral laxative or suppository work best for you? I have both to hand- admittedly I have no clue how to insert the suppository and am slightly terrified at the prospect, but on the other hand, I know the oral pill takes longer to work.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙏
