Small irritation?

Have you sometimes a small irritation of your anus after expelling enema?

To times it happens to me. :😃

I think that has happened to everybody at times. It can be from not enough lube, a rough spot on the tube or nozzle, bad aim on insertion, wiping too much or too hard, over-drying the anus with toilet paper, possibly using a solution that irritates your anus, etc. I wouldn't worry about a little irritation. If you frequently have considerable bleeding, I would refrain from enemas for a week or so and let it heal, then try again. If after that it keeps recurring, You should see your physician.

i use the baking soda solution

thanks for your answer

Excluding anal play for which some irritation is to be expected, I think it mostly is caused by the expulsion and resulting dryness. I get quick relief with the use of Aloe treated baby wipes.

Occasionaly. try a touch of Neosporin on the outer ring of your anus

^^^^ That is a good idea. I didn't think to write that, but I use it myself sometimes. It is over the counter also.

I'm quite late here, but if anyone has this kind of problem I'd suggest a local massage with natural shea nut butter, it does wonders on a sore bumhole. Just have someone do it to you at bedtime and you'll wake up in the morning with a shining new anus to play with.

I don't know about anything else but vitamine E, it will help with insertion and after the enema put some on the anus.

just take a pin and poke a hole in the end of a E capsule, squeeze it out on your finger and rub on the anus with your finger, also inside you hole so it will heal.

takes about a minute but then it will feel like your a king without problems. 😎

When I use a bisacodyl low-volume pre-enema, or bisacodyl suppository as a pre-enema, there will be a small amount of mild burning sensation. After everything is out, there is a "different" feel to the rectum itself!

Before I used enemas for health maintenance, my rectum would get irritated from hard bowels, or even loose bowels would cause irritation. I tried different ointments, but finally discovered two things that helped most. If hemmorhoids developed, non greasy Tronolane helped to calm the area. Otherwise, I found that I could wet my fingers with cool water and gently touch the area. I have not had any problems now for years.

There should be deliberate attention given to the bare bottom with rubbing-in baby oil. The first step of taking a rectal temperature first with ample vaseline smeared on it will help coat and protect the area for the eventual hot, soapy enema. This should help.

The source of the irritation will govern what works best for alleviating it.

Actally, I had the same problem both internally and externally using a water-soluble lubricant. It finally dawned on me: guess what hot water does to a water-soluble lubricant?

I discovered several months ago a product which I purchased from Optimal Health Network called "Super Salve" that I use for all rectal insertions other than when we're going to have anal intercourse (I then use Surgilube).

I really like cocoa butter. It feels good. Very soothing.

Lube is very important. I find a little corizone cream after helps to heal any irritation.

There are some good ideas here. I plan to try the vitamin E and Shea Nut Butter. I've had good results with "Super Salve" and also, by only removing a little excess wet drippings between insertions and not anything else. When my backside is complaining afterward, it's Super Salve to the rescue! "Two Old Goats" has a new fancy soap cake they are offering that has worked well too.

I've had irritation and burning from too much castile soap in hospital enemas.
