Subject: Visiting Doctors Who Gave Enemas Author: Marlene [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Friday, July 03, 2009, 09:59: am When I was 9, our family doctor came over becuase I had a stomach ache and flu. He pressed on my stomach, told Mom I needed an enema and asked if she had the equipment. She had never given me one and asked the doctor to help her. I didn't know what to expect. I got the enema from bed with the doctor there and housekeeper holding the bag up. If I weren't so clueless I'd have had time to be embarrassed. When the bag was empty, the nozzle and tubing remained for a time as everybody told me to hold it as long as I could. This happened twice and made mom an enema convert. She got a lot of practice after the doctor instructed and she didn't need his advice to decide I needed them. Now, in my 60's, very healthy and taking my enemas as I need them.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Visiting Doctors Who Gave Enemas Author: Carol A [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Sunday, June 16, 2024, 04:05: pm I work part time in a health food store. Mothers ask if we sell the enema bulb syringe. They ask many questions. We are always helpful. The enema seems to be coming back in favor as a home remedy given by mothers. Some say this is due to the popularity of the coffee enema now. The CE is a great way to detox the liver. After asking for the coffee and the enema bucket, the next most popular item asked for is the enema bulb syringe. Great that the enema is given and the over the counter junk, laxatives, and other such things are given by less and less. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Visiting Doctors Who Gave Enemas Author: Ed [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Monday, July 06, 2009, 08:09: am My childhood doctor back in the '40s-'50s believed in "real" enemas whenever needed, as was conventional then, but didn't give them himself. His wife/nurse/receptionist was available to advise those moms who didn't know how to give enemas, and was experienced with her own kids. After a while, moms learned when to give an enema, knowing the doctor would approve, without being asked. The giving of enemas, then and now, seemed to be mostly 'women's work," and MDs were overwhelmingly male unlike today. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Visiting Doctors Who Gave Enemas Author: Stuart [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Saturday, January 09, 2016, 12:21: pm I couldn't agree more! A good, warm, large soapy enema is a great attitude adjuster. Growing up with two sisters, I learned how effective this is. When either of them were nasty, moody or back-talked, Mom would say "It sounds like you need a good enema." She'd march them into the bathroom and 40 minutes later, they were as sweet as can be. It works for little girls and big girls. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

My grandfather and father were both physicians. Both told me they often ordered enemas for patients both children and adults because they became more cooperative after having them. I know that Dad gave Mom enemas when she was out of sorts or argumentative. My wife had had only a few enemas growing up and only Fleets. I am a firm believer in a large soapsuds enema for many reasons including attitude adjustment. It works every time. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Visiting Doctors Who Gave Enemas Author: Sue (UK) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Monday, January 11, 2016, 08:16: am As you know, I agree. The Greeks call excrement "evil" for a reason - that's where the word "caca" comes from - a child who has trouble "doing evil" on the toilet is more likely to behave badly in day-to-day life. So, first, flush out the toxic muck that causes the misbehavior. And if you can add to the punishment by adding the pain and fear of "forced anal penetration" (with a nozzle or fat finger), so much the better. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Visiting Doctors Who Gave Enemas Author: Leo [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Tuesday, January 01, 2013, 10:31: am Susan, Why the double standard? With all the recent cases of sex between female teachers and their younger students, it is clear that females are equally capable of sexual abuse. Why is it that a father's motives are automatically suspected, regardless of the age of the child and the situation? If you see enemas as "sexual," then they either should be given by the same-sex parent or not at all. You can't logically argue that it is OK for a mother to give her son an enema, but for a father to give his daughter a needed enema is automatically suspicious. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Visiting Doctors Who Gave Enemas Author: Robert [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Monday, January 14, 2013, 09:25: pm To Leo, From the ages of 5 to 14 I was a boy who was given many enemas by my mother. While inserting the nozzle with her left hand, she would be massaging my stomach and rubbing it in big circular motions with her right hand, often, whether intentionally or accidentally, brushing up against my penis. I found it both pleasurable and embarrassing, but would have preferred having my father give me the enemas, something he never did. Since he had the same genitals that I had, it would have seemed more natural to me. Why don't more dads give enemas, at least to their sons? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Visiting Doctors Who Gave Enemas Author: Daniel [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Thursday, August 19, 2010, 08:45: pm Forty or fifty years ago things were different. I remember Dr Emory, in Brooklyn, NY coming to our house for me or my sibs and sitting at out kitchen table having a cup of my mom's coffee afterward. She probably had some biscuits or an apple pie baked that he sampled. . I don't recall him actually giving any of us an enema himself, as my mom would have done that as a matter of course, probably before she went to a neighbor's house to use the telephone to call him. Things were so far different it is hard for people today to understand. . An enema was a very common first treatment for everyting this side of a broken arm. That and a mustard plaster. We got those home remedies until I left home. I remember once my brother and sister and i all had some flu or something as did my cousins who lived nearby. For some reason we were all moved into my cousin's house so we could be treated together and the Dr came to that house several times. We had mustard plasters on our chests and enemas as well as hot showers one after another. There was some kind of "epidemic" going around. And when the Dr came he gave everyone a shot.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Visiting Doctors Who Gave Enemas Author: Carla [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Monday, August 30, 2010, 01:21: pm I didn't need any course at school. When we were sick, my mom sometimes gave us an enema with a bulb thingy that had a black nozzle about three or four inches long. From very early on I remember helping her when she gave my brothers an enema and then when I got a bit older she had me do it carefully. She would fix a bowl up with warm, not hot, soapy water and bring it, a towel and the bulb to the bedroom. My brothers would have their Pj bottoms and underwear if they had some on, removed and if possible kneel on the towel that was draped over a part of the bed. Then they had to lean over so their heads were on the mattress and their behinds were exposed for the bulb, spreading their knees and cheeks. Sometimes she would take the temperature. After helping her several times she began to let me apply the lubericating ointment to the boys and even insert the bulb. I was always very careful and gentle with them as I knew how it felt to have the bulb slipped in me. Mom was very patient and explained what she was doing and how to do it as well as the need to be careful with the boys parts that hung down. Once there were a couple of bulbs of water in the behind she would let us get up and run to the toilet down the hall. Usually the process was repeated two or three times til the water that came out was clear. When I was sick it was the same except I do not think she let Mikey do it to me although the boys were usually standing at the doorway where they could see everything anyway. So I had no need for the Red Cross to teach me about giving enemas. Fortunately we did not get sick that often other than the usual cold or flu each winter. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

The doctor didn't give it, his nurse did. This was sometime about 1965 or so and she used a white enema can that had a red hose on it. My mother had given me enemas at home before by they were always with a bulb. All I recall was that I was never happy getting enemas but that one at the doctors really made me poop.

[> [> Subject: Re: Visiting Doctors Who Gave Enemas Author: Ed [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Wednesday, August 05, 2009, 08:24: am My childhood doctor also had an enema can on a shelf in the examination room, but it was never used on me. Instead I was given all my enemas from a similar can at home, twice on doctor's orders. As Rob indicated, graduating from a bulb to a 2-qt bag or can is a very memorable experience for many, just because of the increased volume if nothing else. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I was also very embarrassed because many times my father would walk into the room to see what was going on, and told me to stay still and be quiet. I was layin on my stomach on the bed with my legs spread apart crying, while my mother kept squizing the bulb.

But mom recited some of the most intimate details not just to dad, but my aunt and any of her coffee clique friends who stopped by for some coffee and cake. And if there was a question of body temperature it would be taken again in the kitchen. That's when it got embarrassing because sometimes, not always, mom would decide I, or my brother or sister, had to lower our PJs and bend over the countertop so she could insert a rectal in front of who ever was visiting.

Reportedly, Maryln Monroe was regularly "done" and mostly by a live-in house maid (Good help is hard to find). My mum used "do" neighborhood children,though why was never discussed. I thought it unfair that girls could watch boys being "done" but not the other way around. The girls would arrive "sans knickers" under dresses and chat away as if they were at a church-social.

Within minutes of the call I was in position with that warm soapy water flooding my bowels and mom reciting the doctors orders to give me repeated enemas until only clear water came out. By the end of the session I was exhausted and totally emptied out. Mom would hang the enema bag and hose on the towel rack to dry for the world to see. It would be there a minimum of 3 days so even if my friends were over they would see the enema bag and ask me about it. Since I was an only child they k new I was on the receiving end of the hose.

I was only 4 and a half, and I still remember being held firmly by my Mum while the doctor palpated my tummy, and then told her to hold my knees back to my chest (I was laying on my back on her lap), and he, probably gently, but it sure doesn't remember that way, inched his finger into my little behind. I screamed blue murder, and struggled with all my might to break loose, but Mum held firm, and the monster kept inching in. I cannot remember after the insertion, that is, if he 'rummaged around' a bit, maybe I block it out... eventually, though, the digit retreated out of me. Subsequent to that, and after we got home, enemas commenced, all being administered by Mum. I guess he concluded that there was nothing physically wrong with me that was preventing my toilet training being completed. I do consider my self lucky that I got very few shots, none that I remember in the butt. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

The little nozzle on the syringe was smaller than the doctor's finger. The thing that upset me was the lack of control. I had no choice when I was going to get it; very frustrating, and it made me very angry.. Mum said it was going to happen, and that was it! Too much fussing meant a paddling. And then I would get enema anyway.. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Seems like that I was always sick with colds or flu or something or other. The doctor was called and usually prescribed a sulfa tablet. Sulfa was just coming on the scene about that time. But enemas from the doctor at home does not seem to spark a memory. Enemas yes, and plenty of them too. Hardly a eek passed by but what I received an enema or two or three. And it always seemed that my mother took an enema right after she gave one to me Eddie [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
