It's a water-based pressurized unit you stick up your *** to spray and loosen "poop". Good luck with THAT.

An enema is any liquid that is injected into your rectum to aid in the relief of constipation.
In the drug store you can buy a disposable enema made by Fleet. When people say it is injected under pressure, they are referring to a very mild pressure. Just what it takes for your hand to squeeze the bulb or bottle to inject the fluid.
You can also use a homemade enema. Most people that do that use a hot water bottle/syringe combo unit. It's generally a red rubber bag that can hold about 2 quarts of liquid. Most of the time warm water with about 2 teaspoonfuls of salt to the 2 quarts is what is used for the enema. You may not be able to take the full 2 quarts the first time but if you use them regularly you will soon be able to.
Taking the full 2 quarts will just about fill the whole colon and give you a good cleanout. Some will use Ivory soap in the water to help stimulate the evacuation. The soap irritates the intestinal lining causing contractions to help push things out. This can be mildly uncomfortable, especially if you happen to use too much soap, so be careful.
Good luck and enjoy your enema.

Word "Enema" usually refers to a liquid that is forced (by low pressure) into the rectum, through anus, in order to induce bowel movement, or to wash/cleanse colon, or to re-populate colon with good bacteria, or to treat colon disease and colon related illness! Enema is an ancient remedy for all kinds of ailments, and especially for people suffering from serious injuries, constipation, poisoning, acute headache, flu, meningitis, parasites, measles, common cold, food poisoning.
If you take an enema on the Colema Board, it is then called "Colema". If you go to a professional Colonics Therapist, it is called "Colonics". In every case, it is a liquid inside your colon.
Some people think that Enema can only reach descending Colon. That is wrong. If you take enough water, and if you try to keep it as long as possible while massaging your abdomen, also while laying on the floor and rolling on the floor, enema water will reach every part of your colon. It may not happened when you take it the first time, but practice will help.
It is believed that ancient people were using enemas as far as 10 thousand years ago. Enema as a remedy survived test of time.

An enema is when warm water is put into your rectum to help wash all the poop out. Some hospitals still give enemas before births, but I'm sure if you refused, they wouldn't be able to give you one.

it is a liquid substance that is usually used with a syringe to insert into the rectum(***hole )about 1 inch in and squeezed to push the fluid in. this allows the bowel that is stuck to loosen and with a few hours pass without any pain. to make your own you can use a babys blue bulb to suction the nose mix half cup warm water with 1 teaspoon dish liquid suck up in to bulb and insert into rectum and squeeze. --or go buy this medication known as SENAKOT and you take it by mouth(oral) with a teaspoon. hope this helps

It's an anal flushing done with different variants of liquid products, stuck into the anal orofice.
Sounds like you've had several, only they missed. It goes into the other end...
