Peeing after enemas

Last night i had a 3 litre soapy water enema, , i know water from them can be absorbed and make you pee a lot, but i was up 3 times during the night and similar all next morning, how long before it settles down ? ive been doing enemas for years, but never peed so much before….

@sirwilliam55

if no common salt is added to the enema liquid (one teaspoon per liter), the body absorbs part of the water through the colon due to the osmotic pressure. This is mostly also excreted via the urinary tract.

Just test it out by adding this salt to your next enemas.

You will notice a difference.

This topic was discussed earlier in another topic...

@sirwilliam55 Add sea salt to the enema. Ivory soap (bar soap) will clump up with salt. Dr. Bronners is better for that. I also found out that taking milk of magnesia an hour before an enema will cut down on the frequent urinating.

ANY sodium chloride will produce the same result!

Your body knows very well what sodium chloride(Table salt)is! It neither knows nor cares whether that table salt came from the Southern Ocean,or from deep underneath Detroit, or for that matter deeper under Sudbury Ontario.

Definitely, saline enemas will be less likely to be absorbed vs. regular water.

But I have noticed another factor that seems to affect me and peeing after enemas. If I am well hydrated, then my body essentially doesn't need any more water, so it is removed and ends up as pee. I live in a hot climate (Florida) and in the summertime when I give myself enemas, I am less likely to pee after enemas but conversely when I am not perspiring as much if at all in the cooler months, I do notice more urination after enemas.

So, something to think about and maybe observe on your next round of enemas.

Usually after one enema I don’t pee more than usual but if I take two three enemas tend to pee a lot for about 12 hours.

It happens to me all the time. I'm sure some of it is because of the solution being absorbed, but I also think that some of it is because what with all the agitation going on in the back end, the front end chimes in as well. But that's opinion.

I am not one to routinely drink the recommended eight glasses of water each day (who made that up anyway?) so there are days when I am probably a bit dehydrated. Like noted by ProV1 earlier, how much I pee after an enema seems to vary depending on the weather and my activities previous to the enema. Sometimes my body needs to keep that extra water. That's good, I guess.

Just a wild ass non-educated guess, but could enemas put pressure on the bladder that results in an urge to pee??

Don't worry about it. Assuming you have descent renal function and you are a relatively healthy adult, the increased urination simply indicates your body took on fluid that it did not need and your kidneys quickly (and hopefully efficiently) took care of the problem.

It happens to me, too, especially when I can’t get all the solution (or the rinse, which I try to do with cold tap water to keep it short and creamy and effective for my lazy colon) out or when I don’t add enough salt to it. You want to have an isotonic solution of 0.9% salty water (same as normal saline) if your main enema component is, in fact, water. I h been doing enemas for many years and I will admit that I don’t always measure everything super accurately unless it’s something like Epsom salts.

I also tend to drink a lot of extra fluids like Gatorade zero when doing enemas so that makes me pee a bit more.

Good luck! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

If you are doing the same routine that you've been doing and this hasn't happened to you in the past, then it is very strange.

I pee a lot starting when I am expelling and for about two hours after. So if I am going out or to bed I time my enemas two to three hours before.

Timing means a lot. I try for broad daylight and early morning. I've studied, the amount of pee after every enema. Sometimes that is fun too, but more often i try to minimize a need to pee much afterward.

Weigh yourself before you start. Weigh yourself when done. If you weigh more, when done, you will likely have to pee out.

I like to add ¼ cup of soda per gallon, especially into the last one, if you get more than one filling. Also the last one should be close to 90 Fahrenheit. I don't play with soap, but if you do, this extra flush advice will help with those late, put you to bed enemas. It can be done and learning is what we do.

I always pee some while expelling each enema. I even add salt or baking soda or both to every bag so my body doesn't absorb too much solution. But after my last enema, I'm back to normal.

PS Also drip LOTS of precum when expelling too, a bonus. 😉

I can certainly agree without adding any salt, you’ll certainly notice you pee more during evacuation and for a few hours after… at least this is my personal observation.

The need to pee more often is one reason why I try not to have a substantial enema after about eight PM. I hate having to get up in the middle of the night because I need to pee out excess water absorbed from the enema.
