Enemas and Constipation

I take care of business daily, first thing in the morning. Occasionally some food disagree with my GI tract and I’ll need to visit the throne during the day. To prevent irregularitie, I’ll take fiber supplements when traveling.

@FiestySue

Out of curiosity, what meds do you give them?

I absolutely take enemas for constipation every 2-3 days. I have a spastic colon and IBS-C. I think it is generational in my family. It's hard for me to have a bowel movement with laxatives and they make me sick to my stomach so I've always taken strong enemas.

I love to clean myself out with a good old fashioned SSE with my red bag and hose. It also brings on many orgasms, stomach cramps and cleans out my colon. My clit gets all pink and hugely swollen. In October my RN best friend is coming down to give me some Harris Flush and other types of enemas and sound my bladder and then give me a douche. It's ecstacy!!!

Growing up, I got enemas weekly for constipation. I also got an enema anytime I went to the doctor or my Mom thought I wasn't feeling well. As an adult, I have to take enemas for constipation but I enjoy the side benefits. I love a good soapsuds enema. The more I cramp, the better I like it.

I have used oral laxatives and suppositories when constipated; however, I just don’t like them. I prefer a warm soapsuds enema and plain water rinse.

For me there is nothing like having the house to myself, and relaxing as I take a warm ivory soap enema. If time permits, I like to have three on my back and my last standing watching the bag empty in the mirror.

I take enemas regularly for cleansing because I like the way they make me feel all better inside. But occasionally I can get really hard constipated stools do to stress at work and being chronically dehydrated . Oral laxatives take so long to work and are so unpredictable that a warm strong soapy bag enema only makes sense to me , When you just can’t move move your bowels any other way. When the enema quickly works it is such a relief. Lol

Growing up I had chronic constipation that was effectively treated with frequent soapsuds enemas. As an adult, 2 days without a BM means I’m constipated and it’s time for an enema.

Oh, the feeling of being cleaned out is rather addictive. When I was a young man and so busy at work; enemas at night made sure I didn't have to worry or think about finding time during the day to run off and poop.

I have been using enemas on nearly a daily basis lately. I had been advised to avoid constipation by my gastroenterologist as well as my urologist after colonoscopy and ureteroscopy.

While stool softeners and laxatives are the suggested methods, I have found those quickie small volume enemas work well for me and permit far easier BM's without straining or the distension of larger volumes.

I have the ability to hang an enema bag near the toilet and can run through the 2-3 quarts in a few minutes with multiple small fills and releases. My bidet also makes quick work of clean up.

Many older physicians maintained that small injections, with cooler solutions, did not disrupt normal elimination in a negative way. I tend to agree and constipation is no longer an issue for me. Hemmorhoids are no longer an issue either.

Going three days without a BM is certainly an indication that I need an enema. But those are not the only times because there are occasions when it just seems like a great idea. Sometimes it could be because I've had a stressful couple of days and a good enema flushes that right out of me.

Sometimes it’s good to have an enema to prevent back ups and constipation

My siblings and I have had constipation issues for as long as I can remember, hence enemas when needed from mom, grandma or our aunts. We usually got two or three enemas a month. If one got constipated, we all received a soapy then a rinse enema. When one was sick, that one got a couple of enemas in the morning after the others had gone to school. However, when they got home from school, they too got a daily rinse enema while one of us was home sick. During the fifties, and sixties enemas were more popular than laxatives and the go to treatment for most maladies. When mom called the doctor's office, when we were sick, the first question they asked was, “have you given them an enema?” If mom answered in the negative, the doctor's office order an enema be given. When the doctor made a house call, nine times out of ten, he ordered daily enemas for whoever was sick.

Our RN grandmother was more proactive than mom. In the beginning mom and grandma were on the same page. However, that changed the summer I turned nine. My siblings and I had more constipations issues that spring than normal. When we were taken to our grandparents after school was out for the summer. Mom told grandma, “The last two or three months I’ve had to give the kids enemas twice a week. Usually, it’s two or three times month. What do you think?” Grandma told her, “I’ll do a digital recital exam and go from there. Maybe it’s time they had a 3H enema.” Mom replied, “they don’t mind taking enemas, I don’t want anything to change that.” Within a day we each received a DRE from grandma. That started enemas every other day for two weeks then twice a week afterwards. The enemas were done in the evening at bath time by our teenage aunts. When our grandparents were out for the day, our aunts would come an ask, “we’re going to give ourselves an enema, do y’all want to join us?” The first time we joined them, they showed us what to do. Afterwards, then let us give each other enemas under their supervision. We liked being more involved an that kept us coming back. That’s when we caught on to their private enema activities when nobody was around, except us. Which was at least two days a week, sometimes more. The two girls knew, as did grandma, we liked enemas. What they didn’t realize was, we were aware they enjoyed giving us and themselves enemas, as much as we all liked receiving them. On top of that, grandma gave each of us enemas in private once a week. This continued for the next three summers until grandma taught us personal hygiene and enemas became our responsibility.

When we returned home from our visit with our grandparents that year, we were back to normal. Receiving enemas from mom an average of twice a month. Seventy years later, I still enjoyed a couple of good enemas once or twice a month for multiple reasons.

Most of my sisters and my enemas were for constipation . when we got home mom would have us change to pajamas and nervously wait to be called to the bathroom floor.

LOL reading that somebody takes an enema daily for constipation (for, do you mean to get or prevent?) Taking so frequently, how would you know if you were constipated?

My husband says I could write the definitive book on constipation. OMG, what a way to be remembered! True, on occasion I suffer from that malady and also chronic inflammation (IBS-C) at the bend of my transverse and ascending colon. A memorable barium enema years ago in my 20s and two subsequent colonoscopies confirmed, yep, it’s still there.

I also have what I jokingly refer to as ”sluggish insides,” but this didn’t begin to affect me much until I was critically injured in an accident in my early 20s. My body experienced pretty severe trauma that still causes me to have headaches and neck and back pain.

So, yes, I do take enemas as needed for my health, but I have many other tools in my kit that address my physical issues in a sensible, preventive manner. I’m able to lead a normal life and be extremely happy. Most recently I have written here about a probiotics enema regiment that I’m doing with a naturopath. With me at least, these monthly treatments really do work. I could tell a thing or two to those G.I. specialists in my past. I have never written about them, out of respect, because I think they were all well intentioned with the best medication they knew at the time. (Side effects can be hell.)

Along the way, for nearly 40 years since my accident, I’ve also experienced the joys physically and emotionally of a “good enema.” There is no denying that, but I don’t fool around with weird concoctions, high volumes, and too much of a good thing.

There is a connection between my gut and my brain. That link, which I would gladly contribute to any research on the subject, has at times triggered emotions that made me cry intensely and emotions of sheer ecstasy. I have a wonderful, loving family and many friends who I treasure. And there is one additional friend who lives discreetly in my linen cabinet, ready when I need her.

@Rick6981 Did you or any of your family members ever have time to lead a normal life with the constant enema routines you seemed to have? Did you ever have time to discuss anything but enemas among yourselves?

I do but it's much smaller volume. For fun or cleaning I can do larger amount 2qt or more. But for constipation I can't hold much so like 1qt

@Vicki V Thanks for sharing this. I too have been dealing with constipation my entire life. Early childhood enemas from my mom likely set the stage for my predilection to this unique enjoyable activity beginning solo at puberty. I have enjoyed enemas and the ancillary activities since then and they have provided me with relief from that constipation and given me pleasure too.

Most of my childhood enemas were for constipation but I know some of them were because the bulb or bag was already out. Lately it seems like my gut has slowed down and I’m needing them a little more than for just eroticism.

I will definitely take an enema at the first sign of constipation and really don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t and get instant relief, but the majority of my enemas and all the enemas given by my wife are for pleasure

I was the OP of this thread and it is hard to believe that it is now over 13 years old. I am still here, still suffering from chronic constipation and still taking enemas (along with medications) to deal with it. Thanks to all of you who have posted over the years.

I have always had constipation problems, got it from my Mom, she took enemas often and best that I can determine her sister did too, since I would often see her enema bag hanging in the shower to dry when we would visit. I also would here them speaking on the phone describing some recent bought of constipation or talking about recent enemas and what worked best. When we were cleaning out her house after her death, I found a prescription for me, written by my Pediatrician that stated: “Give tap water enemas as needed for constipation". Between my Mom's enemas and mine, the bag barely had time to try between uses!

Both my wife and I take enemas for constipation. Usually after we have been in a trip as we both seem to get backed up. A warm enema with Castile soap gives us a good clean out.

I tend to intervene before the level of actual constipation is reached.

If I haven't had a good poop in 3 days I will induce it, either physically(Enemas) chemically(Laxatives) or most of the time a combination of the two.

Since we take enemas several times a week, Isa and I never get constipated. We also use suppositories and take laxatives recreationally, so no chance of getting constipated.

I suppose that this will depend of the extent of a constipation:

- In the case of a normal constipation taking an enema will be sufficient to solve the problem.

- In the case of a severe long lasting constipation with a lot of waste in the colon it will be more efficient to take at least 1 tablespoon (15 ml) castor oil early in the morning on an empty stomach.

The very large hernia I have causes constipation and I use my shower-shot to enema every morning and most nights before bed time. I'd be lost without that shower enema connection that reaches the toilet.

I don't take them for constipation.But I am given them by my RL mommy and or older sister,when I am a fussy and cranky babygirl.Yes I am still kept as a babygirl for my family and yes diapered 24/7.Whenever I am fussy and cranky,they both know from my past I must be constipated.Also when they haven't changed a messy diaper in 3 or more days,then they expect I am constipated.I still nurse at least 2-3 bottles of Similac Sensitive formula per day,which usually keep me pretty loose.But on the times that I haven't done poopies for awhile,they start by inserting a couple FLEET baby suppositories into my bottom,at one of my diaper changes on my diaper changing table.If that doesn't prove with good results,then they do move on to using a child FLEET enema at another diapy change.I am usually with the 30 minutes after the enema having great results into my diaper.Whoever the administer is,never really makes the difference to.Both help there sweet babygirl the same way,and soon I am feeling like a happy baby,once again.

The very large hernia I have causes constipation and I use my shower-shot to enema every morning and most nights before bed time. I'd be lost without that shower enema connection that reaches the toilet.

I am glad that you have found this solution as to how to resolve the conflict.
