| Most people will find it difficult to retain an Soap Enema for
more than 5 minutes. If the bowel is not clean, then the peristaltic action of the colon
will push against the fecal masses and produce intense pressure. This will frequently
happen with your first
Soapy Enema in a series. Not much to do but expel and try 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
water 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 end. Then you can get up and expel without
straining to hold it in. If you must go to the toilet, and the pressure is intense, you
can hold the buttocks together with both hands. This helps the anal muscles keep it in.
Directions for Administering an Enema When expelling the
enema: 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
SOAP is the most often used Enema additive.
