Expelling Question - Enema getting "stuck"

When I read the enema stories on here they talk a lot about cramping and exploding from the receiver. I never have any pain really and they seem to almost get stuck now. Like, it takes forever to expel the two quarts I take. Does that mean I'm doing everything correctly or something is wrong?

That phenomenon is mentioned several times in other threads, and if I can find them, I'll post a link. I've had that happen a few times but I also have some chronic health issues that might contribute to the problem. I don't take enemas very often but I find that the more stressed out I am when I take the enema, the more likely it is that the water will get stuck.

The fact that you're not having any cramping is a good sign. A lot of folks on here find that cramping very stimulating and enjoyable so they use solutions that will bring on peristalsis. You don't say what solution you're using or what temperature, or the position you're in but that might have something to do with it.

When that happens to me, I know that what goes in must come out and it's just a matter of time. Gravity is a powerful force and standing up and walking around can be helpful. I've also found that mental imagery (water going over a waterfall works for me) helps me to relax and evacuate.

I have that happen from time to time. I find that taking an additional pint or two will usually get things flowing. I've also found that drinking a cold liquid or eating something will get the paristolic action going. sometimes all I have to do is move around some, like getting up and start cleaning and putting my toys away.

Sometimes things get kinda "stuck" with me too - I find that moving around a bit helps sometimes, but sipping a cup of coffee will just about always cause things to "break loose" for me.

I don't think that it's too uncommon to think that you're done on the toilet, even start wiping, then all of a sudden feel that urge to "go" again and sit back down and just start gushing! It has happened to me often, and for as long as I have been getting enemas.

I think the best thing to do after getting an enema is to just relax and sit there not expecting things to happen too fast. Sure that first gush should come pretty quick if you want it to, but be prepared to wait until the next ones are ready. It'll happen 😃 .

An old girlfriend of mine told me that while on vacation she was so constipated that she let her nurse girlfriend give her an enema.She then couldnt expell for three days when she got home!

I only ever had that experience once. It was the first enema that I took after many years that I took the last one.

I find that if I am having trouble expelling and enema the best thing to do is walk around, bend and stretch. If that doesn't do the trick I take a quart of so of cold water which causes the colon to spasm and expel the enema. It is not pleasant but it does the job.

Walk around, do some bending over, and even sometimes a slight recling position on your back will help to empty things out after a series of good enemas.

I had this happen today. I took 2 qts with 1/4 tsp of almond castile soap added. No problems going in. Flowed quickly but not quickly enough to cause bad cramps. My Dom had me hold a few minutes. When I went to expel, a little bit - very little - came out. I waited. Changed positions. A little more. Changed positions again. Then nothing. Over many minutes, longer than I usually wait, I might have lost 1 qt.

We decided to try adding more water and see if that would encourage an end to the enema hide and seek. I got 2 more quarts saline mix in, which surprised both of us as it was that much and went in very quickly. Expelling was still not like usual, but I did get it all out (as evidenced by no additional trips back).

Such fun adventures in enemas some days.

I once met a gal here, and after getting to know one another online, we met between Dallas and Austin, the cities where we live. Her time was limited to a few hours. She was dying to give an enema to a man, so that's what she wanted to do first. She gave me one while she gave me oral, and I took more than one as we had intercourse. Then it was time for hers, and I gave it to her kneeling on the edge of the bed, with me fucking her from behind at the same time. She said she had never taken 4 quarts before, and she drained that bag dry. However, I was completely amazed at the fact that she didn't expel a drop after sitting on the toilet for some time, getting up, walking around, etc. She had no issues on her long drive home, and no urgency when she arrived. She absorbed 4 qts of water, apparently. Perhaps she was dehydrated and really needed it, but that was the one and only time I'd ever seen someone take an enema and not expel a drop.

Massage is crucial both to receive an enema to eject it. When you receive the answer massaging the abdomen counterclockwise (viewed from above) when you eject while massaging clockwise!

The missing dildo!

My lovely lady and I like Saturday mornings...our 'play time'. Being 80 years of age I try various tricks to obtain and/or maintain a semi-erection in order to satisfy us both. We enjoy long drawn caressing, cunilingus, fingers everywhere and a dildo in my butt.

The dildo is about 7 inches long, the first 3 inches housing the battery and vibrating stuff and the remainder soft pliable rubber-like construction.

We finished and were enjoying the lassitude and well-being when I reached back to withdraw the toy from my arse. I couldn't find it. We both got up and turned the covers back thinking it had come out (which sometimes it had) bu no such luck. We both tried to explore my backside to no avail. We hadn't ever been involved with 'fisting' but thought we might have to. Exploring externally still to no avail.

My Catherine told me to go sit on the john and try to poop it out. No luck. We had done my normal enema series the day before. Well we decided to try an enema using the soft 32fr colon tube. The first bag of plain tap water didn't do anything...for the second I applied an abundance of Dr. Bonner's Peppermint soap and we got close to 3 qts in.....and Lo! --out popped the bright red rubber dildo. We wouldn't have tot go to the ER...Thank Gawd!!!

the boxcar

Some years ago, i was afflicted with fibrositis - it causes a nasty ache in neck and shoulders. I would take a muscle spasm reliever to go to sleep; but I learned never to do this before an enema (also, if you didn't know, a great relaxer!)

It took me a while to cotton on to why I was spending up to 45 minutes trying to expel a 3 litre enema, and still not getting it all out, so that I had to get up during the night. But eventually I worked out that the muscle spasm medicine was shutting down my colon, too! After that, it was enema first and THEN the muscle spasm tablet.

I suspect that there are other drugs that do this besides the well known effect that pain killers have.

After last Saturday's experience of "the missing dildo" I wonder who else have had to go to the ER for 'foreign object' removal. I've read about flashlights, candles and other strange objects being removed from the colon.

Who else can add to this phenomena?

the boxcar

Boxcar, "things that get stuck up the pipe" are largely a problem of panic. Of course, there ARE dumb things that are dangerous, like the famous concrete enema; but most of the common stuff we play with will come right out again as soon as we stop panicking. I have lost small balls, apples, turd-shaped chunks of plasticine, butternut squash and other fancy items in my time. I'm 73 and never once made a trip to the ER. My worst experiences (two) were with butternut squashes that were a) too long, b) not tapered enough and c) too great in diamter. These both got stuck at the juncture of rectum and descending colon, and lodged there for 12 days and 16 days (I think) respectively. They got stuck becuase they couldn't get around the corner, so to speak. It turned out OK - they rotted and came away naturally.

My advice is to keep it natural and know what shapes work. Most butternut squash have a bulbous 'head' and a slimmer, tapering (usually curved) neck. If this is put up the bum head first, it will go into the descending colon with little bother. You can feel it through the wall of the abdomen and push it gently backwards and downwards. The thinner neck slips down again into the rectum and triggers the body's expulsion mechanism and it comes out with only a little bearing down. But the initial hand push produces a nice tickle on the prostate and another, far stronger one as the head comes 'round the bend!

The secret is to always massage!

Ive had this problem I try to elevate my legs by using a little box to keep elevated while sitting on toilet. I also massage my abdoman and tummy. I also will twist from side to side while sitting on toilet. I have found this will produce faster expulsion. I must admit back when I smoked there was no greater feeling then sitting on toilet and puffing away lol

If you're dehydrated, that may result in the colon absorbing some of the enema solution. This is why you should try and "push liquids" when you're sick, even though you may not feel like it. Gatorade for electrolytes, especially if you're taking enemas. If you've got stuff that's stuck and not moving, circular massage and being up and active really does work. Patience. I've had stuff still coming out two hours later when I was bound up. Lots of good advice on this thread.

Try walking up and down staircases a few times. Also, as we age we don't expel as fast as we once did. I drink sugarless Gatorade, or PowerAde non-stop. If you are older, try some soap (not super strong). Ex-wife (RN) from 60's told me they always got an expulsion with cool water the second time. Make sure you eat something (like a snack) to start peristalsis.

I will concur with one of the other posts. When I feel I have not expelled everything, I will just stay on my feet and walk around. For me, gravity is essentially all I need to have the enema liquid (tap water) work its way back down and out. I am fortunate that this rarely happens given I can almost always expel everything within just a few minutes of my last fill.

But as others have mentioned, some of the liquid is absorbed so don't be too alarmed if there seems to be a difference in the volume injected vs. the volume that is expelled. I just go with what my body tells me and don't worry too much if I need to expel some liquid later on in the day.

I find that if part of an enema gets "stuck," if I get on my hands and knees so that my stomach is parallel to the floor for a few minutes, it will move from the ascending colon to the descending colon a lot easier. Then sit up, and it runs down and wants out.

^^^^^ You can get the same result with less effort and be totally relaxed during the process lying on your back.

True, SwitchableSusie, but since I like looking at porn while I am expelling, I can just put the laptop on the floor in front of me while I am waiting for the water to move. 😃

It's going to take 20-30 minutes typically to expel two quarts.

You could even hang onto a pint or so for a couple of hours after the enema is over.

All I can say is that on occasion it happens. I like taking an enema very slowly so if it takes some time to flow out of me that's OK, too. A proper enema should never be rushed, but rather savored for the personal time that it affords.

Emom has it right

I find that walking around when I think I have more to expel sometimes helps. Also, massaging the stomach starting near the beginning of the ascending colon and working toward the end of the descending colon can help to move the water where it needs to be.

Beware the post enema "fart" that was really something else.

lesson1 it is never over as cleanly as you think

lesson 2 plan if possible to be near a toilet (or bush)

It would seem that no matter what you do, there will always be a little residual water after you think you are through. However I found a small foot stool, that I place in front of the toilet to raise my feel about 8-10 inches off the floor. It seems to help get more of the expulsion, and sometimes I don't have to go back and release more.

I remember seeing somewhere that they did one or more studies where they gave a measured amount of enema and weighed the returns (water + stool) and found that there was almost always less coming out than went in, even counting the stool (note that I imagine this was with subjects who were not constipated). When I take enemas I often will have enough water left in the cecum to slosh around when I press over it, but I still have a net weight loss of several pounds after the enema so I'm not sure how much is retained. I guess I could wait a couple hours for the fluid to come out as urine and then re-weigh, but I usually get extremely hungry within an hour of the enema.

I don't worry about it (beyond being very careful with "farts"), because the colon gets 8+ liters of water a day and it absorbs most of it. An additional 500mL or so won't matter that much. If you're using solutions that could cause a problem (detergents, phosphates, very strong soapsuds solutions, electrolytes strong enough to mess up your chemistry), or have large volumes of water retained (1+ liter, ~2.2 lbs worth of water) it would be worth worrying, but other than that just relax, move around a bit, lie down, massage the colon and stay near a bathroom just in case because it will come out somehow.

I second the dehydration note. When I'm dehydrated enemas don't work nearly as well. I used to not worry because I thought I'd get the water from the enema, but now I make sure I've had enough water to drink at least 1/2 hr before because I want the enema to fix the constipation, not sit around to fix the dehydration.
