    too long, don’t read:

    where do I learn to do enema on someone. How do I practice?



    My Dad has always struggled with cinstipation.

    Surgery dine decades ago created scar tissue in anal opening which narrowed it

    The 15 yrs ago he got flap surgery but made anal opening even more narrow

    now 3 months after heart surgery the opening is even smaller, 1/5 normal suze

    last night my Dad had strong urge to go but after three hours on toilet, nothing came

    my Dad says the colon rectal surgeon cannot do anything.I’m even said maybe they can make cut I the opening

    my Dad says what about healing, what if there is no effect or makes things worse

    Im unsure if enemy will help.
    The tube looks painful to insert all the way and opening is narrow

    I am trying to think our out of bid so,unions because my Dads case is 1 in. Illini

    and one Dr says it’s all in his head

    If you’re doing for the first time then please consult a doctor to ask them what to use.

    Consult doctor. Go for low fibre semi fluid food till he regains his BM frequency. He can try stool softners or laxatives . Ask doctor about it or fleet/ other enemas. But, if there is block, enema alone cannot alone solve issue. The issue can become serious. Try to regain regular BM frequency.

    Constipation can become a medical emergency, so, please keep a close eye on this.

    The natural remedy for this is castor oil. Initially 2 to 4 teaspoon for quick result followed by plenty of water
    Repeat if necessary the following day and only if necessary.

    For doing regularly managing prune juice is a good way.
    1 to 2 glasses per day. Lots of water

    Both these don't do much harm and are not reliant chemicals.


    Have electrolytes at hand if body loses too much water.

    Good luck.

    I'l ask my Dad

    To him the anal opening is small, almost closed. Only thing that may help is to liquify the bowel like diarrhea

    Go see a GI if he is in discomfort. Your dad is still taking medications, right? Don’t make too many dietary changes or try folk remedies all at once.

    For immediate relief try suppositories. They are easy to use too!

    High fibre veggies and fruits make stool larger and not good when there is narrowing. Read more here
    The do's and don'ts of a low-fiber diet

    Try more soups, gruels, juice,more water and easily digestable foods. Rice, egg, fish, etc..more fluids helps. Anyway, try laxatives.
    Consult doctor if problem persists. They may suggest options that is suitable for him at this age and with all these health conditions.
