Enema after hernia surgery

I recently had surgery to repair a double hernia on my left side and a small hernia on my right side. It's been four weeks ago and I'm wondering, is it safe to take an enema or two now or should I wait for a couple of more weeks

Personally, I would ask my surgin that question.

When I had my penectomy and perinial urethostomy, before I left the hospital, I mentioned that I often get constipated and my go to remedy was an enema. I was given the OK. But we are talking a totally differant surgery. If not absolutely necessary I would give it some time.

I had to use an enema for bowel movements after umbilical hernia repair to keep from popping my stitches. I had a visiting nurse to administer using a plastic bucket. I got tired of having to have an enema every other day. It was an interesting time. I watched the nurse rub her hands together in the bucket to make soapsuds, then it was enema time. One time she was in a hurry and simply squirted hand soap from the sink in the bucket. I guess soap is soap. This was in the early 90's and enema were still in common use at most hospitals. Fleets were a rarity.
