Pearls of Wisdom Series 4: Preparing for and Performing an Enema for the First Time

Please keep in mind if you have any physical or mental impairment and/or are under the age of 18, have someone assist and/or supervise you. Right, so you need to get or perform an enema. This is a very touchy subject. I know most people don't want to admit it, but they have constipation issues. Maybe it's your poor diet. (Diets rich in overly processed starches and meats contain very little fiber and generate gummy, sticky fecal matter.) Maybe it's stress. Whatever the reason, you've come here looking for help. Rest assure, if you follow these simple steps, the dreaded enema won't seem so bad. (Warning, Do Not attempt enemas on a daily basis. Enemas, like with everything, should be done in moderation. If you have hemorrhoids, bleeding, or any kind of wound inside our outside your rectum, do not perform enema.)Step 1: Go to your local pharmacy and buy an enema. Choose the biggest enema bottle they have. There is the option for an enema bag, but this is your first time, so try to keep it small scale.Step 2: After purchasing the enema, empty the salt solution into the sink and replace it with luke warm or room temperature distilled or filtered water. The reason being, is that the cold, salty water might generate cramps and that's not fun for anyone.Step 3: Once the solution is replaced with water, make sure there isn't any leftover air in the bottle by squeezing until a bit of water comes out. This is just for you to get continuous water going in, no air pockets. Make sure the lid flap under the cap nozzle stays put. (It's that little white, papery flap with a slit in the middle inside the cap nozzle.)Step 4: Stay in a knee-chest position somewhere comfortable and cross your right arm to the left side. Put your head down and get your rump up in the air. (Your rump should be higher than your head.) With your left arm, grab the enema bottle and insert it into your rectum. Make sure the tip is lubricated. If not, just put some oil on it. Any oil will do, even olive oil.Step 5: Once inserted, squeeze while keeping your head down and breathe. It's hard at first placing the bottle in the rectum and then squeezing it. If you need help have someone do it for you. If you're the person performing it, then just kneel alongside the person and put in the enema. Once most of the liquid is squeezed in, wait about 5 minutes.Step 6: When you feel the need to go, or the 5 minutes have elapsed, go to the bathroom and defecate. It depends on how constipated you are. Some people have a little, some people have a lot of evacuations. How ever many it is, stay on the toilet until all the liquid has passed. (Again if only administering the enema, notify the person about the time and steps and direct them to the bathroom.)Step 7: Pull up your pants, wash your hands and you're done.Article written by: Rosemary Jasmine Rivera
