How to expel the enema in a reasonable time

Frequently it requires a lot of time to eliminate after an enema. I usually take two quarts of plain water..sometimes mixed in baking soda. This makes no difference in my ability to eliminate the enema. I really dislike sitting on the potty for extended periods. Also, dislike having to make return trips. Does anybody have a special technique to eliminate the enema in a reasonable time? Many thanks.

I sometimes pass a colon tube which seems to speed the process up

Massaging the abdomen helps a lot. A medical diagram can help you understand about massaging. Changing positiona when expelling is also helpful. You might want to lay on your back in the tub for example. Plain water is easier to expel than salted water. I do well alternately standing and squatting in the tub, massaging as I go.

Spreading your legs and leaning forward while sitting on the toilet will help. let your belly sag between your open thighs. This allows easier action for your bowel to move the water across the transverse colon and into the decending colon. Also sometimes raising your right arm and looking back over your left sholder helps the ascending colon

I had a wonderful professional enema session a fortnight ago and the nurse showed me a couple of tricks I had not come across before. If you lean over to the left, then to the right then arch your back and keep repeating the cycle, it really helps. this is important when you are trying to get as many enemas as possible in a limited time!

Nno meed to force. it will come out of its own accord

I've found it's best just to take you time and let nature take its course. You get a better cleaning that way too.

When i give the enema to my girl i found that the best way to let her evacuate is by adding very mild soap this will make her expell very quickly and rapidly but i must give her a plain water enema to remove the residue of the soap. 😃

I had an enema yesterday of about 2 qts, and I held it for about 20 mins. Usually I am absolutely shaking to go by this point, and when I do go its like a waterfall, but yesterday I felt fine, and when I decided I should go I couldn't, and over about half an hour of straining I probably got half out.

???

any thoughts?

Did you use baking soda or salt in the water? If not, your intestines may have absorbed some of the water. If you didn't have any or much cramping, you may have been relatively clean to begin with, so you may not have felt the strong urge to expel. If you were feeling relaxed, it may have been more comfortable for you than if you're stressed out, consiptated or pressed for time.

Sounds like the others have described what probably happened. I suspect you pee'ed a fair amount too which tells you where the other half went.

Just tap water with nothing in it other than what your city puts in it will be absorbed much more than if you put a tablespoon of salt or soda in the bag before you squirt it into you.

One think I would suggest is that you don't "strain" trying to expel. Just relax, and if you really can't go, then get up and walk around for awhile. Just don't get too far away from the toilet. The urge could come on really fast, and with a great deal of urgency.

The natural motion of walking will stimulate your colon and assist in the expelling sensation you failed to get on this enema.

Another thing I have done on occasion is to put the nozzle back in and wiggle it around some. That will stimulate the expel sensation too, and could get things going. If you used a long nozzle,

it even works better.

I would not worry about it, because what goes in will eventually come out one way or another.

Maybe it's time for you to consider going to a three quart enema if it's the full feeling and the expelling sensation you enjoy.

Slow

I wonder whether the water was warm enough and you don't say if you were full either. This can make it hard to expell. Most people seem to slouch in posture on the stool but it helps the difficulty to sit up straight. If this does not help, walking around as exercise can help. And it will all come down later.

Gravity and the colon's natural desire to rid itself of anything foreign will eventually work. Just relax and let it go.

The next time you have a problem expelling,try this.Put two tablespoons of olive oil in 16oz of cool water.Try to take the full amount as an enema,hold for 5 to 10 min then expel.The olive oil will lube the colon,the cool water expels better than warm water.I always use cool water for quick cleanout enemas and it works fine.Let the good times flow.w/m72yrs/Western Ma

Somthing I that works for me is to take another enema of cooler water. This seems to get things going.

I hate runing for the toilet after cleaning up and geting dressed.

It has been my experience that whenever you use oil, mineral or olive, or any non water soluble product is that it does leave a residue if you don't do a rinse. Also, it has a tendency to leak even if you do.

Also, I was talking with a medical doctor who was into enemas and she recommended against the use of organic oils because if they do linger they can grow/support bacteria in the colon and you can get an infection. She said woman we also susceptible to getting vaginal infections. She recommends the use of unscented mineral oil.

Define reasonable time: The substance of it should come out in 20 -25 minutes. The last few ounces can take a couple of hours.

Get Up! Move around the house. Climb the stairs a few times. All the while, massage your abdomen. I've found that a few stretching exercises will get things going fast.

Define reasonable. Takes a couple of hours to get the last few ounces out . Not usually a problem

As I get older I find that it takes more time to get the last of a series of large volume enemas out. That's why I never do a series if I know I what be at home for several hours after doing a series or a colonic. Sorry folks but that's just the way the parastolic action of the colon works. Fluids take longer to move around the colon than solids do. If you want to take an enema and not have the need of a tolit later never take more than a quart of fluid. If you take more you will probably get it into the ascending colon and the colon takes time to work that water up and over to the decending colon.

Have fun, keep it clean, and enjoy your play time.

You could try Stephen's approach. He dissolves 4 Dulcolax tabs in a small amount of water with a little baking soda. When they are dissolved into a liquid, you shoot it up fast and immediately follow with 1-2 qts. of tap water. In 5-8 min. the Dulcolax will start strong peristalsis and you will not be able to retain any of the enema; everything will come out pretty fast.

The person who gives me enemas does a lot of abdominal massage and has me change positions frequently. he then paddles me quite hard while I am standing. That paddling will make me want to go, I have a hard time holding the last little bit until he is through. Woe be unto me if I lose a few drops, he lets me go yo the bathroom then make me ejaculate then starts the paddling all over. I will clench as hard as I can but sometimes the paddle stroke come just a the wrong time, then I know I am in for a real paddling with no "feel good" sexual buildup and stimulation like a pre-ejaclatory paddling causes.

I have found thay what garts was saying works for me too, while sitting on toilet I twist to right then to the left and arch my back most everthing will start move quickly

I find that my posture plays a significant role in expulsion. As an earlier response indicated, sitting up straight, and arching the back will almost always result in things moving rather quickly. Also, moving around the house will help speed things up, too. But no matter what, in most cases, I'll still have "urges" for several hours. That's why a date with the bag demands an investment of time.

Have fun and play safe!

I usually have a problem retaining more than 5 min, not expelling.

Adding a tablespoon of salt per quart and 5 or 6 drops of peppermint oil may help. Or you can try using cool water for the final fill. Good luck!

Adding a tablespoon of salt will make a hypertonic solution and will bring MORE water from the body into the colon causing an INCREASED expelling time of all the liquid.

My urologist prescribed two large volume warm enemas a day to help reduce my prostate inflammation. It actually helps a lot.. However, I am having a lot of trouble getting all of the enema out even after a few hours. After the initial expulsions over five minutes or so, I hear a lot of gurgling going on, but with no result even though I still feel somewhat bloated. I walk around climb stairs, etc. but to no avail. I typically take 3-4 quarts for both enemas, and every other day start with a few tablespoons of Dr. Bonner's plain camomile soap with a second enema of water and two teaspoons of sea salt. I never get cramps, no matter how quickly I take the enema (I like to take it really fast which feels so good), and once the initial feeling of "having to go really bad" subsides, I don't get any urge to evacuate for at least 20 minutes. Very frustrating and not much fun at all. There is nothing wrong with my gut, as I am still having normal (but less frequent) bowel movements during the day.

Tonight, during my second saltwater enema, I stupidly stood up when removing the nozzle from my anus, and sprayed most of my bathroom. What a mess. I had no feeling of pressure in my rectum, but it just gushed out without my being able to control it. One thing is for sure; no more standing up when removing the nozzle.

I allow at least 20 minutes for everything to finish up. After the initial, oh shall we say, blast of excitement, there are several more quick trips back to the throne. It's safe to say that one has learned "not to trust a fart" during those periods of time.

I usually let the expelling take some time - from 10 to 20 minutes. Sometimes I take a break between enemas and does something else. Moving around and posture are the only tricks that I think actually work. Massages I find helps sometimes but not always.

Everything depends on how high the enema went. If it stayed in the descending colon, on, it'll probably come out in less than five minutes. If it goes into the transverse colon it will take longer, say 10-15 minutes. If it got right to the caecum, for me it will take 25 minutes to come out. I am assuming here that it is a sufficiently irritating enema to produce good waves of contraction. There is little I can do to speed the process, and bearing down won't help at all, for the contraction waves have to start right high up and move things down at their own speed. Bearing down only works once the descending colon has something in it, and even then it is unlikely to shift anything unless the load is near the rectum.

Yesterday's enema came out in five distinct rushes, between which I just rested and waited for the next one (enduring/enjoying the cramps, of course). Since I usually expel into the bucket from which I filled myself (siphon arrangement) I can tell more or less when I have got it all out. Of course, that depends how full I was to start with. I hadn't sat on the throne for ten days before yesterday's clean out, so I was full of crap. I put in 4.5 litres of soap n salt, and got out a very satisfying six litres total, after which I had that delightful empty feeling again. It took a full 25 minutes.
