Habits | The sounds of an enema 6/6

There are some unmistakable sounds associated with enemas. I use a Higginson syringe and the most recognisable sound is when the bulb is pumped before injecting to remove the air. After a few pumps the fluid shoots out into the solution bowl and there is a "spurt" sound. If you are lying on a bed with your right leg forward and your backside exposed, waiting for relief, that sound heralds the news that help is indeed on the way as it is closely followed by the probing of the nozzle as it finds the right place to do the business. This sound is usually only heard by the person about to receive the enema. It is not sustained enough to be heard in another room easily, although I believe I have heard it once when I was snooping outside the bathroom door because I suspected my mum was giving my sister an enema for constipation.

Another recognisable sound with a Higginson is when it is cleaned after use. After cleaning in hot soapy water with a touch of disinfectant the syringe is held vertically to let the water run out and the bulb is pumped several times to empty it. The "Southing" sound that that it makes is very unique. I have also heard that sound through the bathroom door as the syringe was cleaned after use by my mother. I have also heard it after my sister (who was older and a nurse) had used an enema on my Sister in Law when she had not had bowel action for over a week while pregnant.

The most recognisable sound however is after the enema has been injected and the receiver is on the toilet getting relief. Of course it is similar to an upset stomach but if you are even slightly aware of the preceding actions the sound of success is very recognisable especially if accompanied by the inevitable grunt or sigh.

There are a number of times that I have recognised this sound, again when my Sister in Law was given a very difficult enema and was struggling to empty herself on the toilet as my Sister was in the bathroom next door cleaning the instrument of relief.

My bedroom those days was positioned opposite the bathroom and separate toilet.

How would you react to those sounds?

An upset stomach would be a significant turnoff but knowing or suspecting that what you are hearing has been induced by the administration of an enema puts a very different slant on things.

Would you find it 'offensive" or interesting. Would you feel sorry for the expeller or pleased for them for the relief they were getting. Would you feel inclined towards the same action by listening to the results.

The latter would I feel be my reaction. The sounds of a good cleanout would encourage me to seek the same I suspect although at the times described there was no way this could have taken place.

Have you got stories about sounds? Of course the bag enema is a very quiet device except for the results.

A Higginson is a delight.

The sound that is indelibly imprinted on me is from the first large volume enema I recieved in the hospital from a white irrigator. The words of the nurse "now take a deep breath and hold it" Then the distinctive click of the metal clip, and the most memorable sound of the air in the end of the tube being pushed into my little rectum. At the end, "let me know when you have to go potty", and the rush of water and plop plop in the toilet.

The list of possible noises during an enema is extremely extensive, almost melodic.

I would like to compare it to an opera...

The basic tenor of the overture consists of the splashing of water as it fills the sink or a vessel, in which the soap is then washed into the liquid.

This is followed by the transition to the main theme, which can be heard through the bubbling when the bulb is filled for use, the quiet smacking sound when the tip is inserted into the greased anus, the whispering sound of the solution flowing in, and possibly briefly bubbling air into the colon.

Musically, this is repeated several times, depending on the conductor's mood.

And everyone waits for the loud final chords of the dying swan's finale...😇😛

What sounds do you make during an enema? The sound of pouring water. Sometimes you can hear a faint sound of water entering the intestines. At the end of the enema, a squelching sound of water and air was heard. This can be heard most clearly during childhood oxygen enemas. Grunting squelching sound right in the intestines. Oxygen often escapes through the anus, similar to a fart. Causing itching in the anus and very disconcerting for the patient.
