Enemas ordered by a real doctor?

Just wondering... How many of us was taking at least one enema or taking enemas regularly by doctor's order?

Except for preparation to colonoscopy/surgery/etc.

And the doctor must be ordinary official doctor, not play doctor, nor colon therapist or naturopath, or any alternative medicine-related or specifically enema-biased.

For what reason it was ordered? Do you were given special requirements for volume, solution, temperature, retention time etc.?

Personally, i never taken or give any enema ordered by anybody but myself.

Oh yes, on my PCP orders I have to see 2 treatment nurses monthly, but she wants me to come in weekly, for them, Lots of enemas let me tell you!

The golden age of enemas is really in the past...unfortunately...

When 10 days of maximum dosage of kitchen sink laxatives and stool softeners got no results they added dulcolax with no luck so the next afternoon I got four large soap sud bag enemas , my nurses said “your going to shit or explode , Dr’s orders “ that finally got me going again . I lost about ten pounds of shit all over my bed trust me the chux weren’t up to the task ,those sheets got burned I’m betting I’m still filling diapers hourly . This happened last week at the same spinal rehab hospital I graduated from first 20 years ago . It was a rare privilege to attend as a returning veteran . Many of my nurses remembered me from my first time , they also remembered me and neurologist and my PCP having a disagreement he left my room went to nurses station screaming yelling and throwing things . The neurologist I had this time was a great guy who respected my opinion and knowledge of what works for me . I did think of many of you who have an enema rape fantasy , would have really really enjoyed it .

The family doctor I went to growing up ordered a daily soapsuds enema for me whenever I was too sick to go to school which usually amounted to about a dozen enemas a year.

I received enemas as a young child after serious illnesses requiring house calls by the doctor. My assumption has always been that the doctor recommended enemas to my parents after leaving my room.

When we cleaned out my Mom's house we found a prescription written by my pediatrician for me " give tap water enemas as required". I should have framed it! LOL

Our Family doctor when I was young believed in enemas.. He told my Mother to give me one everyday! And I haven’t stopped

I hated my new 5th grade teacher and faked having severe stomach cramps to get to stay home. While it worked, I over did it. Mom got worried and called our family doctor. The doctor saw me that evening and after an exam talked with my parents in hushed tones while I was getting dressed. He told mom to give me a soapy enema each day and call the office on Monday with a report (it was a Thursday evening).

Within 30 minutes of getting home from the doctor I was lying naked in the bathtub getting my first enema from mom as dad looked on. While I was nervous it wasn't too bad. As I sat on the toilet the tub was then filled for a bath and then I was sent to bed. As I laid in bed thinking about what had just happened and began to look forward to the next one.

On Monday mom reported a big improvement and was given the advice to continue to give me an enema 'as needed.' Mom decided what was needed was several enemas a week then tapering off. I still would fake an occasional stomach cramp whenever I wanted an enema, but I learned not to over do it. This cycle continued until I was 13 and ejaculated during an enema. Mom transferred the enema duties to dad who showed me how to self-administer. (I was a quick study because I had been sneaking enemas on my own for several years.)

In previous posts, I often wrote about “Doc Grams,” our family doctor for over 25 years who I called when my husband or daughters ran fevers or on occasions came down with something more serious then the common cold. She was so calm and sensible at times when I was freaking out.

There were times when she mentioned the enema, which was part of her “tool kit” of remedies to “keep the bowels moving” during an illness, especially if there was a high fever. It was no surprise when she suggested an enema, and she left it up to me to decide if I was actually needed.

She was a wonderful doctor and family friend, and she retired in her 80s after practicing medicine for over 55 years.

Years ago I was in the hospital admitted for stomach and intestinal pains. One morning I'm laying there in my bed a knock on the door and the nurse comes in carrying this big look like a 2500 ml and I'm a bag what kind of like a golden liquid in it. She said the doctor's going to give astigmoidoscopy and I have to prepare you. Okay that's the first I heard of it. She said lay on my left side she sticks the tube in opens the clamp holds tube with one hand and says I want you to take all that you can let me know when you're full. Of course me being a professional I took the whole bag and she told me to just lay there and hold it in as long as I can then I can use the bathroom. She grabs all the stuff and leaves and the rest is history

I was in the hospital a year ago and had an 8 hour surgery. I was badly constapated. When my surgin came in I mentioned the problem and he felt under the circumstances an enema would be the ebst coarse of action if i didnt mind. I said thatwas fine, if I wre at home that would be my choice of action.

well some how the Nurse who was an older grumpy woman who was having a bad day and ws over welmed and short handed, must have squashed that order. i eneded up with a supository which didnt work and then three hours later I got Milk of Magnisa which finally did work but also was very tough on my surgical site. too much straining and pushing.

As a young boy l received many enemas from my mother.

Some were Dr. Oders.

Most were mothers for almost any reason. I fought at first but then l began to enjoy them..

At age 70 plus l still enjoy received enemas from a mistress, my bi and gay friends,and my lady friend.

Bags and bulbs are just great .

My current endocrinologist understands how constipating Ozempic is and also does not object o managing it with enemas. She just warned me not to become dependent on them. Her chart notes read "enema every two weeks". So I guess that is more or less a Doctors order.

During the 1960s when I was growing up some doctors were still making house calls although that practice was disappearing. If my mom called the doctor for an appointment more often than not his nurse told her to give me an enema. When he got to the house he would ask whether she gave me one. It never failed because she had.

This is going back a few (a lot) of years and I've have posted on this at length elsewhere. When I was in high school, I contracted mono, and I started having big trouble with constipation. My family doctor suggested tap water enemas (I was horrified when she explained to me what was involved) but the soldier I am bought a bag and after a few private but frightening experiments, I got the hang of it. Guess what? Felt pretty darn good. Who knew? This started a life long interest in enemas and most things anal.

Had my doctor order a radiological

Procedure that required a barium enema.

Triple H as prep for my first delivery. Ordered by the doctor, administered by a nurse and I hated every second of it. And I pooped during delivery anyway.

My wife was diagnosed constipated when she had an MRI to check her gallbladder. The doc ordered an enema (I assume a fleet) and they put her on a bedpan. I wasn’t there when they administered it.

Week ago i was in hospitaland meds bunged me up , nurse appeared with a cleen enema, oh well better than nothing.

Hello, last June for me to check the healing of a polyp removed months earlier. It was before recto sigmoidoscopy.

That was also the normal routine in the fifties, for my siblings and I, when mom called the doctor for a house call or office visit. When one of us was sick, the doctor's office was called to arrange for a house call. And once the doctor saw us, his usually prescription included daily enemas until the illness passed. He also recommended our siblings receive daily enemas until the illness passed as a prophylactic. To mom or grandma, that wasn’t a suggestion, it was an order. In the summer, usually in August, we all saw the doctor in his office before school started. The normal routine for that was a soapy followed by a rinse enema the evening before. Then, the morning of, another rinse enema, depending on the time of the appointment. If the appointment was in the morning, we didn’t get another enema, however if the appointment was in the afternoon, we did. Mom wanted us clean for the examination, which included a digital recital exam. I don’t ever recall getting an enema at the doctor's office before being examined, because mom saw to that. However, depending on the examination, we’d be given an enema on doctor orders that evening. Sometimes, it was just that evening, then other times, it was for the next three or four evenings. This routine continued well into our teenage years. Even after our RN grandmother taught us personal hygiene as preteens and enemas were our responsibility.

With all due respect, I believe naturopathic doctors do have a place as legitimate healthcare providers. I agree that naturopaths have a certain reputation, Choose carefully and wisely!

“Doc Grams,” MD, our long-time family doctor who all of us loved (she did prescribe enemas on occasion) retired nearly six years ago. I began seeing a naturopath, and I have never been happier with the quality of care and the time she spends with me, more than any MD, and we have been blessed with many good doctors.

I doubt today if most MDs would advise moms or dads to give an enema when a family member is sick. However, cleansing the colon and giving the bowels a rest during an illness are part of my naturopath’s “tool box,” along with other commonly prescribed remedies by MDs.

She prescribes a water enema as a good way to help the body rest and recover, particularly if fever is present. The enema should be given at body temperature and retained as long as the patient is comfortable. I happen to think that’s good medicine.

Well to continue my saga with glp-1 caused constipation. I have been attempting to manage it with low impact solutions, mostly Mag Oxide. I am up to 1000 to 1500 Mg. per day and only have an extremely constipated small BM every 2 to 3 days. I do get to a point where I really feel like an enema, and so I do a 1500CC bucket of soapy water. I feel great afterwards for at least two days. My Dr. is switching me to Monjaro which she says has less Gi issues. Well stay tuned and see how it works.

The last conversation I had she said that all the Glp-1's slow down your GI system. She also says you don't need to have BM every day (I have heard all this before). She also said that on vacation she can go two or three days. I replied that I can too, but get extremely uncomfortable. Today it has been three days and I could not get the poop to come out it was so backed up. With the help of my TOTO washlet seat it worked! The problem is I don't always have a washlet seat on the toilet.

Interesting you say that. Back in the late forties and fifties that’s exactly what most MDs did. My grandmother was a retired RN and a firm believer in enemas for kids, teenagers, and adults. Our mom was a nurse for an Internist, and he was still prescribing enemas during an illness in the late seventies, and not just for kids but adults as well.

Growing up, my siblings and I always got daily enemas whenever one of us was sick. If by chance, the doctor forgot to mention daily enemas, mom or grandmother always made it a point to ask. It was something we grew up with and helped us feel better when sick. Something that I would like to see make a comeback. But unfortunately, I don’t think there’s much of a chance of that happening.

My pediatrician prescribed enemas for me when I was six because I was constipated. I have no idea if he ever ordered a specific volume to be given, but I would get ivory soap enemas with a bulb syringe. Actually, I've always wondered if the doctor and my mom discussed the type of enema, soap, and volume because I don't ever recall them talking about that in front of me. The enemas that I got were never a large amount because I don't recall it ever hurting or being uncomfortable, I just hated being forced to do them and found it completely humiliating. I would usually get an enema each day for like a week after I had a doctor's appointment for constipation, which happened a whole bunch of times and resulted in many weeks of enemas when I was a young girl.

Growing up, when the doctor made a house call, he never talked in front of us. However, one of us was usually close enough to overhear what was being said. So, we pretty much knew what was going to happen. The only thing I remember the doctor saying was something like, “Give them a soapy followed by a rinse enema this evening, then daily rinse enemas for a week.” We didn’t need to hear the doctor say it every time, because that was the normal routine whenever we got sick. What the doctor did do, as he was leaving, was rub our head and tell us not to give mom a hard time. Once that happened, we knew we'd be getting a couple of enemas before bedtime and probably a daily rinse enema for the next few days. As to enema volume, best I recall, that was never mentioned.

My doctor has regularly ordered me to take an enema. Usually 1-2, plain warm water.

I recall ordering a few when I was in practice. Usually, at least in the hospital, something like "TWE till results clear."

As a kid, nope. I guess I was too healthy. I am not sure where my enema fetish came from. My younger brothers got them and only one I recall seeing one by accident. All others I only heard behind closed doors. Of us three, as far as I know I am the only one with the fetish and even the word enema is erotic to me.
