Difficulty Holding An Enema of Any Size

Is there anyone else here who has an extra sensitive rectum and find it difficult holding an enema (even plain water) of any size, for more than a minute or so. I have tried straight douche nozzles and retention nozzles that extend 6-8 inches into the rectum with little difference in the sensitivity level. I do not have a problem with cramps. I just have an issue with being able to hold the enema even to the point of leaking or spurting trying to get to the toilet.

6-8 inches is not far enough inside for the solution NOT to stimulate a defecating reflex when the water flows in.

You need to be at least 15 inches or more --YMMV-- not to stimulate expulsion.

Get a colon tube.

If you are leaking with a balloon retention nozzle, you aren't inflating it enough or properly.

Sounds like a relaxation problem!

Easy123,

Have you tried an inflatable butt plug/enema nozzle or inflatable Double Balloon Catheter?

I agree with Sue. Try a colon tube. The higher up it is the less pressure you will feel.
