First thing one must try to get fresh in the morning on getting up whether one feels the urge or not. Sit on the toilet seat for some time without putting undue pressure on the anus. If you do not feel fresh or are not fully satisfied , then alone you should take enema.

Fix a peg at a height of about 4’- 4.6” in the bathroom door or some other suitable place where you want to take enema. Now fill about 150 ml normal tap water in the enema glass. No chemical or soap is to be added. Hang the water filled enema glass on the hook and open the tap of the enema to see if the water starts flowing freely from the catheter (small tube attached to the enema glass) end to ensure the tube to be free of air bubbles. Now close the tap immediately once the water starts flowing. You are now all set to take the enema.

Then lie down or sit on the knees along the wall in a manner comfortable to you. You may use any of position shown in pictures given below. Apply a little oil at the end of the catheter so that it can be inserted smoothly in the anus. Insert 1.5”-2” of catheter end in the anus and open the tap of the enema glass. If the water starts flowing into the large intestine through the anus, fine. Otherwise insert a little more and open the tap to see if the water flows smoothly into the large intestine. Once water starts flowing, in about half a minute the glass will be emptied. Now close the tap and pull out the catheter out of the anus.
