Tips to clear a blockage

My gf here can not have regular BM's everday, and often goes for days on end with out having one. so i give her enemas, alot of times tho there is a big solid blockage, and the nozzle only goes half way in & the water will NOT flow in & the clamp is un done the nozzle just hits against the blockage she has. shes afarid to goto the Doctor & she wants me to give them to her.

i dont kno0w if shes holding it in when the urge comes or is it something else

the water flows down the hose part, and into the nozzle part but and stops cause if the blockage, to let it be a lesson to her not to hold it in if she is, i hold the nozzle there for a long time

so what can i do to clear that blockage from home since she does not want to go see a Doctor

You might try giving her a few suppositories and let them work before trying to give her an enema. They will draw water into the colon, and she should HAVE to go then.

KingJon1982, don the latex glove on your hand, lubricate it with your favourite lubricant and then gently push the index finger into the GF's bum. This technique is used to stimulate and relax one's rectum, to checker whether the lower rectum is blocked by the feces and also to make some room for the fortcoming nozzle insertion.

This is a really great and valuable advice. I think that KingJon1982 could follow it especially if he has some knowledge of the techniques used to insert and use a colon and rectal tubes.

May be I'm a colon tube addict, but if used properly, it really helps in deep, comfortable and thorough cleansing.

It doesn't seem to me like your girlfriend has a bad problem. All she needs is a little more water and fiber in her diet and she'll be just fine.

Play docs and home "doctors" as well as "doctor mom" have to separate out real organic medical problems from factitious ones, and hers sounds like the latter.

Dear KingJohn1982:

Personally, i would encourage and even go with her to the doctor. This is a serious issue that needs professional supervision, in my opinion. After that, try the suggestions on the board, but try to get her to see a doctor, just to be on the safe side.... Just my two cents... 😉

Some people, for whatever reason, do not like to have regular BMs. My sister was one of them and my oldest daughter another. I remember when my sister would start getting cranky and obstinate, my mother would threaten her with a suppository if she didn't straighten up and fly right.

My daughter would come home from a few days visit with her father, head right for the bathroom and plug up the toilet, every time. I thought that perhaps she could not relax enough to let go while she was at his home. Once she told me she did not want to eat any corn because it "makes me poop." Well, DUH! I said, "You are supposed to poop, every day if you can."

It took me a few years to make the correlation, but now when my husband wakes up ugly and tries to pick a fight, I ask him if he needs to "go in and sit down." I don't like to argue, but I don't mind telling him he's full of it!

In my personal opinion, you should not be doing anything to "teach her a lesson". Seems passive/agressive to me.

Hi,

A good nursing manual would probably say something like:

A gloved finger may be inserted rectally to break up the blockage, a small part at a time.

Also, she needs to see a doctor to make sure nothing else is happening.

After she explains about the enemas failures, he may have some other suggestions.

I agree with Susie,a better diet of veggies and fruit will help a lot to prevent constipation,exercise will also help.

For colon blockage,try this enema.Two tablespoons of olive oil with 16oz water,hold for 10 min then expel.The second enema can be,one and a half quarts water with one heaping teaspoon salt of warm water to clean the remainig blockage.Repeat the second enema procedure if she is still emptying a lot of waste matter.Good luck.Let the good times flow.w/m72yrs/Western Ma

I had that problem before. The lubed finger up in the butt works well. Just slide it all the way in then out. Do this many times, it stimulates the colon. Next get a bulb syringe and fill it with warm minerial oil. Inject the oil into her ass and have her hold it as long as possible at lest 10 minutes. After she expels, follow up with 2 qts of warm soapy water with a douche nozzle. Then after she expels again, give her 2 qts warm tap water with some salt and baking soda. This will teach her to change her diet a bit.
