Medically administered enema

I had my first medically administered enema today as part of a colonoscopy, (unfortunately only a fleet) and found it to be kind of a milestone day. I was wondering if anyone else felt this way for their first or if anyone had comments or stories about medically administered enemas. Maybe some medical professionals could tell of their experiences administering.

Why did they give you a fleet enema as part of your colonoscopy?

It was given to flush out a polyp that had been removed but didn't come out with the scope. It was given after the colonoscopy.

Did they biopsy it?

How fortunate you were to get a Fleets. I have had 4 colonoscopies over the past 10 years, becoming less frequent every time because of fewer polyps. Never had one that didn't come out with the scope, but now I can see why I would like to have. It would be so good to be awakened to find out I'm going to be getting a Fleets. Always have had female nurses attending the physician, so would have gotten it from one of them - feeding my fantasy of receiving an enema from a female nurse in the hospital. I actually would prefer a Fleets, as opposed to many here, because I like the thought of the nurse 'squeezing' (causing extra pressure out of my control, as she would squeeze it at her will) the bottle to inject the solution into my colon. Have always hoped that the prep for a colonoscopy required an enema, but none ever have. I even called to make sure ahead of time, but no luck.

Hope your polyps are all benign.

I had a fleet prior to my first colonoscopy in 2001. Besides the liquid only diet and laxatives the day before, I was told to take two fleets before my appoinment and to bring another one with me for my 8:00 appointmnt. When I checked in the receptionist asked me if I brought my enema (I was carrying it in a brown paper bag) and I told her yes. She said good and told me to have a seat until they called my name. A few minutes later a woman came in with who I assumed was her daughter, who appeared to be around 17 or 18 years old. I figured she was along to drive her mom home. I heard the receptionist ask her the same question about the enema and she held up her purse and said it was in there. They sat down and then a nurse called my name and I followed her back to a room that was similar to a hospital room with two beds and a curtain in between. Both beds were empty, apparently because it was first thing in the morning. There was a bathroom connected to the room. I was given a gown and told to undress except for my socks and then lie down and cover up with a sheet. The nurse returned a few minutes later and asked me where my fleet enema was. I pointed to my bag and she said she was going to administer it to me now. She got it out and told me to turn over into the sims position. After she squeezed it in she told me to hold it for a few minutes and then use the toilet. I was semi erect the whole time. After a few minutes I got up and used the toilet. When I returned to the room the curtain was drawn between the beds and I could her the woman and the girl talking. Then a different nurse came to my bedside with an iv setup for me. While she was hooking me up I heard the other nurse come in and tell the woman she was going to give her daughter the fleet enema. Now i realized it was the girl that was having a colonoscopy. I was fully erect as I imagined the girl turning over and exposing her bare ass for an enema. Then they told me they were ready for me and had me get into a wheelchair for the trip to the procedure room. That was one of the few times I have listened to another person getting an enema.

Yes they did biopsy it and it was 'tubular" something which is what 80% of polyps are. They said that means it is pre-cancerous but potentially dangerous and best to have removed. Will be doing another colonoscopy next year as a precaution. Thank you for asking!!

This is always a challenge to me; what I am saying is, being in a medical enviournment and trying to manipulate the situation to be given an enema. If you can do it, you feel quite proud, and you get an enama given by someone else, fun even if it is just a Fleet.

Getting an enema in a medical setting has always been my fantasy, but has never come close to coming true. Until now - I'm due for colon cancer screening (50 this summer), and one of the options is sigmoidoscopy followed by....drum roll please.... a barium enema, rather than colonoscopy. That's what I will press my doc for. Further, I may bring up the dangers of the osmotic preps on the kidneys, in hopes of getting cleaned out the old fashioned way in the hospital as an in-patient. My only fear is that I won't get a nurse that looks like Angie Dickinson, but some ugly, short, balding dude with a bad 'stache. Reckon I'll get up and run out the door!!!!!
