For The Receiver: "the person getting the
enema"
- Pick a position.
The position in which you take your enema should be comfortable so you can relax. Place a
folded towel underneath you in case an accident should occur. Make sure the person
dispensing the enema has clear access to your anus.
- Relaxation is the key for every aspect of the enema. Relax the
anus so the insertion of the nozzle is comfortable. Relaxing the whole body makes
receiving the liquid as comfortable as possible.
- Lubricate the
anus. Have the administrator massage lubricant inside your anus and rectum. This will
help relax when the
nozzle/rectal
tube is inserted. You might want to take a couple of deep breaths as the nozzle passes
your
- anal sphincter.
( Super
Salve Surgilube
Vaseline
13oz.) any of these are a acceptable lubricant.
- As the administrator starts the flow of enema solution, mentally
picture yourself receiving the enema. A good administrator will stop or slow the flow if
you experience any cramping. Many problems occur if you tense up or panic, try to relax,
everything will be fine. If cramps do occur (and they sometimes do during your first
enema) have the administrator stop or slow the flow, Take several deep breaths, and try
massaging your abdomen. When you are relaxed, the administrator will turn the enema
flow on again.
- If you feel the need to evacuate, ask the person dispensing the
enema to stop the flow. Relax, the need to expel will pass shortly as your colon relaxes
and the enema continues deeper into the intestine.
- You will probably feel your stomach expanding somewhat. Try to relax
and let your stomach expand naturally as the enema fills you. Try to hold the enema for a
few minutes. (five minutes is usually long enough for the enema to achieve a good
response.)
- When it is time to evacuate, take yourself (with the tube still in
place) or you can remove the nozzle from your anus and then proceed to the
toilet
and release. Wait until you are in a position to evacuate before you remove the
nozzle. If you are having trouble retaining the solution you can press a folded
towel tightly against your anus.
- After you evacuate, take several deep breaths and feel a lightness
and euphoria that commonly follows a good enema.
The Administrator : "The person administering the
enema"
The administrator has most of the responsibility. The enema
recipient is usually embarrassed and in a delicate position. You should respect their
modesty in everything that you do. Communication between the recipient and person
administering the enema is a very important tool. The following advice should make the
process go as smoothly as possible.
- Positive Reinforcement: Always use words of encouragement to
the recipient during the administration of the enema. It will be of great benefit for a
positive outcome from the procedure. Telling the recipient, how good they are doing,
and to relax and breathe through their mouth during the procedure will greatly increase
the chances of a successful enema experience.
- Anal
Lubrication: the recipients anal area needs lubrication to ease insertion of the colon
tube or nozzle. The best lubricant we have found for this purpose is Super
Salve but you can use ( Surgilube
Vaseline
13oz )
A gloved
finger is excellent for this purpose. Apply a liberal amount of lubricant to your finger
tip and to the outside of the recipients
anus.
Next, press the tip of your finger into the center of the recipients anus. Use about
enough pressure to crack an egg shell. Applying constant pressure for a second or two this
will usually allow the anus to relax and receive your finger. Apply lubricant liberally
working it in and out and around inside the anus and rectum. Assuming the recipient reacts
positively to anal stimulation, they probably won't mind .
- Suspend the enema bag: about 1 foot to 18
inches above the anus. A good tool for this is the IV
Stand for Enemas
If you need better flow control of the enema solution. The ramp
clamp is what you are looking for. Hanging the bag higher will produce more pressure
and flow, a lower height will produce less pressure and flow. Dropping the bag below the
anus can result in back-flow into the enema bag or can during the procedure.
Open clamp and allow any air to escape tubing before inserting nozzle into the recipients
anus
.
- Insert the: nozzle
/ rectal
tube, learn from the experience of your finger. You should know about how much
pressure will be required and the direction in which the nozzle is pointed The nozzle
should easily slide in. Never Force an Enema Nozzle into the anus.
- Open the clamp slowly:. Don't try to give the entire enema at once.
It can take up to 15 minutes to administer a large volume enema. If the recipient has a
full colon (hasn't recently defecated) they may not be able to take as much solution. You
can have them evacuate and administer another enema. This procedure can be repeated until
the recipient can take a complete filling without having to evacuate in between.
- While filling the recipient: watch for signs of cramping. If this
occurs you should slow or stop the flow until the recipient can relax.
- You might want to massage the recipients abdomen to encourage the
solution further into the colon.
- When the recipient needs to evacuate you need to stop the flow and
encourage the recipient to retain the enema as long as possible. (five or 10 minutes is
usually enough to achieve good results.)
Then while waiting for the recipient to expel their enema this is a good time to clean
the equipment.
Massage:
When receiving the enema:
Massage abdomen in a counter-clockwise direction this will help move the solution higher
into the colon.
When expelling the enema:
Massage 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 solution and feces toward
the rectum and out the anus.
The best position for expelling your enema is squatting over the
toilet. 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 use less laxatives. It fits under the toilet
when not in use.
It is best if you place a Welles
Step and then squat down over the toilet to facilitate the release of your
enema. |
