You may find it very difficult to retain an oil-enema for more than a few minutes. The peristaltic action of the colon pushes against the fecal material to produce intense pressure in the rectum. If the pressure becomes too unbearable expel and start again. If you get a strong cramp and an urge to expel, getting up is the worst thing you can do. Making the descending colon vertical adds gravity to the force of oil wanting out. This is how to have an accident. If you can, wait while lying down. The pressure will pass in 10-15 seconds as the wave of peristalsis passes the sigmoid colon and reaches the rectum/anus. Then you can get up and expel without straining to hold it in. If you must go to the toilet, and the pressure is to intense, you can hold the buttocks together with both hands or you can use a folded paper towel or wash cloth to press tight against the anus. This helps the anal sphincter muscles retain the oil.

Once the oil is in the colon, don't be fooled by what feels like an urge to expel gas. If you do so, you will probably expel a blast of dirty oil with it, and makes for a mess. If you absolutely think you have to pass gas, get into the knee-chest position for one minute, and then hold a piece of toilet paper over the anus, to prevent the release of the oil.

When the enema bag is empty or no more fluid can be taken remove nozzle/rectal 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.

Then you can move to the toilet and release the enema.

When having a normal bowel movement or releasing an enema:
When expelling the enema:
Massage abdomen in a clockwise direction .
From the cecum up towards the transverse colon across to the descending colon and down towards the anus.
Massage Abdomen When Expelling an Enema

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.

Warning: Do not use enemas or laxatives if abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting are present unless directed by your health care provider.
Rectal bleeding or failure to have a bowel movement after use of a laxative or enema may indicate a serious condition.
Discontinue use and consult your health care provider.
