Injuries from Enema or Douche Equipment

Please post your experience about any type of injury as a result of Enema or Douche Equipment. Please provide details, first aid, medical treatment, and outcome.

After many years of enema use I had my first minor injury as a result of enema equipment. I was using one of the newer blue silicone 8 ounce bulbs for a quick clean out. I was on all fours and went to insert the small, hard, straight plastic nozzle and got off-center. The tip hit the inner sphincter, off to the right, causing a sharp pain. The injury resulted in having a sore anus for a few days. I used Super Salve for a few days and it healed on its own.

I started researching what was available to replace the nozzle, so I can still use the 8 ounce silicone bulb syringe. It's a great syringe for quick use, and great to travel with, but Not with the small, hard, straight plastic nozzle. I did find a newer style silicone nozzle that may work, or I could possibly use a vintage infant/adult nozzle which has a more rounded shape to the tip, or a vintage douche nozzle, if they will fit into the bulb. I normally use soft nozzles, Delrin nozzles, or colon tubes when using enema bags.

I strongly suggest Not using the New style of small, hard, straight plastic nozzles, often with sharp edges due to the lack of quality control. They may cause an injury.

Stay Safe!

I have not had any injuries from enema equipment because I made it a point to be careful, though I did research the things that could go wrong to ensure that using enemas would be safe. A common injuries is as you describe, where a nozzle damages the anal canal or rectum, though it sounds as though you got off easy (sometimes it perforates the rectum). Note that if you injure your mucosa with an enema you should probably not use a phosphate enema until it has completely healed, as there are also several reports of tissue necrosis from phosphate enemas when there was an injury. Larger, rounded nozzles are safer, as are soft nozzles and tubes (I do not have data on injuries from colon tubes that were inserted higher than the rectum, but using them in the rectum seems to be quite safe).

The other common injury is using dangerous solutions - too hot, antibacterial soap (!), hydrogen peroxide, the list goes on.

Based on what the case reports say about how they fixed these injuries there aren't any of these that are fun. Play it safe.

The equipment itself should never cause injury!

ABSOLUTELY NEVER!!

Overdoing it with the enema, trying to take way too much, ting to put some substance in that's toxic can be deadly!

Wine enemas for example have more than once earned well-deserved Darwin Awards.

The simple presence of the Darwin Awards has woken man people up!

No telling what went on before that!

Same really for douching!!

I have seen the magazine ads from the early 1960 and before about Lysol douches, but the reality for better or worse is that the Lysol douche was the fist step in a home abortion!!

Prior to the mid-1960s there was no readily available treatment for yeast infections. NONE!

IODINE DOUCHES Barbaric as the seem today were the ONLY thing available!

From the mid 1960s to the mid 1980s what was available on prescription only! This meant that women ha to use iodine douches up to the mid 1960s and the synthetic form called Povodine right up until Miconozol Nitrate came off prescription in the mid 1980s. Betadine was the ONLY option to missing a whole day's work/school an shell out for a doctor's office appointment in the a when health insurance was the exception, not the rule!

There were other factors coming into play as well, but all around, pre-liberation womanhood did not provide things we take for granted today

I've never had any first hand experience with enema equipment injuries. I am always careful with making sure pain is a hard limit. I have heard of some pretty stupid injuries, and the idiot who had his wife give him a full gallon of red wine lived in a town about 35 miles from me. (Darwin Winner!) I also heard from a reliable source about a woman who died because her Dom gave her 6 qts with a double Bar d ex. They didn't take her to the ER until she had a 106 F fever.

The worst for me was having a load in my belly and slipping when getting up out of the tub.

Also an inexperienced giver may need some advice when poking at another's butt with a plastic nozzle, so then softer silicone makes for much safer experimenting.

For me, enemas are for pleasure. I feel intelligent enough not to do stupid thinks with my body like sticking knives up my butt, or doing enemas with caustic or dangerous chemicals. These are the traits of sadistic evil people, and I avoid them.
