Betadine Douche anyone?
On my list from my doctor for the night before surgery he has listed for me to do an enema and a betadine douche. What in the world is a betadine douche? Has anyone heard of this?

Betadine Douche anyone?
It's a red, antiseptic-type liquid. You get it from the pharmacist, or you may find it right on the shelves in the pharmacy. The instructions are on the bottle. It doesn't hurt or anything.

Thank you, Carmen. I know I will find this out tomorrow at my appointment but I was just dying to know.

Betadine Douche anyone?
I've used Summer's Eve Medicated douche, and the active ingredient is Povidone-iodine, which is the same as betadine I believe. You can find it here:
<oops! No commercial links please>
Hope that link works :)

I had never heard of it either and went to a few stores looking for something that said Betadine Douche. It is the medicated douche and I was able to get the store brand at CVS.

Betadine Douche anyone?
Hi,
My surgery is on June 16 and I also have to do an enema and betadine douche. I have to use the betadine douche the night before *and* the morning of. I'm not too sure what the enema is going to be like......never had to do one before. I'm wondering if I'll be in the bathroom all night?.?.?.
I'll be one week behind you with my surgery.
Good luck to you.

Betadine Douche anyone?
I had both the enema and betadine douche before my hyst too. They're not fun but not so bad either. I had both at the hospital the morning of my surgery. I worried quite a bit about the douche on my way to the castle. But, the nurse filled the bag and sent me to the potty alone with it - yea! The enema worked quickly and was over soon.
Best wishes.
