Will some1 tell me in detail what an ENEMA is?

Answer 1

An enema is the procedure of introducing liquids into the rectum and colon via the anus. Enemas can be carried out for medical reasons (as a treatment for constipation), as part of alternative therapies, and also for erotic purposes. In earlier times, they were often known as clysters. Enemas have even been used to administer beverage alcohol to alcoholics who have developed stomach ulcers.

The main medical usages of enemas are:

As a bowel stimulant, not unlike a laxative -- the main difference being that laxatives are commonly thought of as orally administered while enemas are administered directly into the rectum, and thereafter, into the colon. When the enema is complete, and after a set "holding time," the patient expels feces along with the enema in the toilet.
Enemas may be used to relieve constipation and fecal impaction, although in many health-care settings their use has been largely replaced by oral laxatives and laxative suppositories. Bowel stimulating enemas may consist of water, which works primarily as a mechanical laxative, or they may be made up of water with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) or water with a mild soap dissolved in it; sodium phosphate solution, which draws additional water from the bloodstream into the colon and increases the effectiveness of the enema, but which can often be rather irritating to the colon, causing intense cramping or "gripping"; or mineral oil, which functions as a lubricant and stool softener, but which often has the side effect of sporadic seepage from the patient's anus which can soil the patient's undergarments for up to 24 hours. Other types of solutions are available as well. In the past, castile soap was a common additive to enemas, but it has largely fallen out of use because of the risk of chemical colitis as well as the ready availability of other enema preparations that are perhaps more effective than soap -- but which are certainly more irritating to colonic tissues.

Answer 2

Tube inserted into your rectum (butt). Some kind of liquid is run in that will fill your large intestine (colon). From the time it starts until it is over, the feeling is you have to run to the bathroom right now because you're going to poop. The liquid used depends on why the enema is being given.

Answer 3

To keep it short, you take a rubber hose with a little bulb that is filled with warm water. There is a special tip at the other end which you insert slowly and gently into your anus. Once it is in place you gently and slowly squeeze the bulb forcing the water into your rectum. The goal in all this is to soften your stool and enable you to take a dump.

Some people get a sexual thrill from this and use this as a precursor to anal sex because it is a bit cleaner and it helps relax the sphincter for easier insertion of other objects.

Answer 4

with the use of a water bag or bottle, you introduce water in your colon and have it washed that way. Used by docotrs before surgery, some medical procedures or when someone is terribly constipated.
