A little past old, me. Enemas are being recommended for me by an oncologist at The Baylor College of Medicine in Texas. My prostate was huge, yet smooth and evenly shaped. PSA in my blood test was normal. Suddenly it seemed, but really the condition had been creeping up on me for years, i could not pee. Long story short, they say i have an aggressive form of prostate cancer. I will inquire more about his recommendation to follow an enema regimen, and report here with @Donaldis inquiry. But what i have read, is that with all the deadly stuff they hit you with to kill this cancer that's in me, the enemas will more keep the awful waste from those burns and poisons from exacerbating my health. Even regular showers are helpful, as well. Any other help in this direction, will be appreciated. My Zity-avatar is my enema view, as the water steadily biggs and jiggles in my belly and in friends with a continuous fill, hose, bag and nozzle selection set-ups, keeping it interesting. I infuse short quick pint cycles at first, getting out the lower stuff before reaching in deeper, all the while checking on my ascending colon. Some times it takes the right side a while to start activating. Varying fill temperatures from 105F down to 85F, keeps fills going in nicely and then heading out, so we can do it again.
I can not explain this, i only have my experiences. I reinvented a forgotten interest in enemas, prior to being drafted into the US Army. 40 years later, hemorrhoid troubles got painfully chronic. Enemas with prayer, fixed that. Now with cancer, let's see what happens. Following prostate surgery, not wanting to strain, enemas have protected their work. One of my kidneys was regularly putting out very fine sand. Kidney sand aggravates the bladder when a Foley catheter with retention ball is set in the neck of the bladder. I have been able to flush sand from my bladder, even getting it to blow past the ball, by laying on my back and advancing the catheter an inch or so. Painful, but with positive results, catching and examining the discharge from around the catheter. This is all, "enema play" with a sense of time well spent.
Before i was catheterized, i knew i was passing a little sand. I'd occasionally feel it tumble through. If i saw it in the pot, i'd fish it out and study it. I kept trying to get free of having to live with a cath. In that i always pee in a bottle and look at what is coming out of me: Blood, mucus, scabs and sand. I blew one conglomerate plug that was 11mm by 9mm the day after having the last catheter removed by flushing my kidneys and bladder with my make-shift filtered water colonic system. It takes steady in and out enema play over at least an hour or two, for the bladder to put out 400 to 600 ml or cubic centimeters (cc) I have even gone to sleep with 1.5 to 2 quarts filtered water weighing inside me, for this purpose.
