Stool softener is fine if you want to wait 24 hours more. However, I have had this problem a lot and I drink a cup of herbal tea every night. It's called Smooth Move and you can get it at a health food store and some grocery stores - like Wegmans if you have one there. Follow the directions on the box. Drink it before bed and in the morning you will go. The longer it steeps the more powerful the results. You can also try a colonic. This, of course, takes longer but totally detoxes your system. Dr. Nutura has a great one online. A little pricey but well worth it. I did it for a month and I never felt better. Going to do it again soon. Good luck - I feel your pain.

stool softener and lots of water will fix the problem in about a few days. Oil type enemas are meant to be retained so the stool can absorb the oil. Yeah, you messed up. So, personally I would go the route of stool softeners and lots of water, but you can try an oil RETENTION enema again if you want. Just make sure you don't let it out right away, try to do it before you go to bed so it has all night to absorb and soften.

i don't know how to really help with that specifically, but to avoid it, take a lot of fiber and drink tons of water.
As a person with "issues", I have changed my diet and increased my water by 4 or 5 glasses a day. I am now like the rest of the human population and it is a blessing!
I wish you luck!

Did you try a stool softerner like Colace first? (Softener only,no laxative) It's best to soften it up before taking something that will "make you go"...especially if you have hemorrhoids.

Why don't you just drink tons of water and use a glycerin suppository? Works in an hour, or less
