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 and 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 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 release your enema.
Repeat as necessary
