ft. above rectum. A good tool for this is the IV

If you need good flow control for the enema solution. A ramp
clamp is a good option.
The Knee-chest position with chest
against floor and rectum higher than head this is a best position to receive an enema.

tube tip into anus, using a good lubricant (Super
Salve Surgilube
Vaseline
13oz. Astroglide
KY
Warming Liquid Lubricant) as needed. using a good lubricant will help prevent injury
to the delicate anal tissues.

take as much as possible , you can refill bag if needed. Try to slightly distend the colon or until it becomes very uncomfortable to take
any more solution. You may experience some cramping because the solution is cool,
just stop the flow for a few seconds until the cramps subside. Then restart the
enema.

distribute the solution throughout the colon.

tube.
For those that have trouble retaining the nozzle and or the solution.
You might want to try a retention
nozzle during the administration of the enema.
Some people use a retention
plug after they received their enema solution and removed the nozzle to retain their
enema for the desired amount of time. You can also fold a washcloth and press it tightly
against the anus.
Retain the solution for several minutes as, this will allow the enema to do its job.

release the enema.

You can massage the abdomen in a clockwise direction this will help move the solution back
toward the rectum and anus.
Massaging the abdomen while expelling the enema helps move the enema solution , gas
and feces toward the rectum and out the anus.
The best position for expelling your enema is squatting over the toilet not sitting on
it. The squatting position puts pressure on your abdomen from your thighs.
In many countries, toilets are made so that people squat when they move their bowels. The
Welles Step positions your body so that you are squatting when you sit on the toilet.
Squatting, supports the abdominal wall and the bowel as we bear down, brings about
an easier bowel evacuation in this way.
People who use the Welles Step tend to have fewer hemorrhoids,
hernias, anal fissures, varicose veins and
almost never have to use laxatives.
It slides under the toilet when not in use.
It is best if you place a Welles
Step and then squat down over the toilet to release your enema. |
