Is there any harm in me doing this when I take a BM?!


Question: OK no one knows I have been doing this and it has been going on since I was 13. I also know this sounds odd so please no rude comments.

When ever I finish taking a bowl movement and wipe. I take a ear syringe, fill it with some water, quirt it up my rectum and release it. More crap out, some times I feel a little more up there and repeat it, then wipe again. It also helps to do this if I have trouble going. I have found I have less stains in my underwear and have more of a feeling of relief. Do you think there is any harm in me doing this? So far I have not had any problems. Also I do not know if I will ever be able to stop doing this as it always feels like there is more in there.

I have to disagree with the general consensus here - giving repeated enemas can cause damage to the lining of the bowel, and over a long period of time this can result in scar tissue or even changes to the lining cells. You can also damage your rectum with the syringe, which could potentially result in sepsis (systematic infection) if faecal matter gets into the bloodstream. Finally, it is doing the work for your bowel, which is like not exercising - the ability of the bowel to evacuate will be decreased, resulting eventually in chronic constipation.

Do try to stop doing this - changes to the cells can be a precursor to cancer. I understand it'd be a really hard habit to break now, though. I don't know if I'm helping or not by reminding you that there is ALWAYS more crap in your bowel, even after doing this. Your digestive system goes from your mouth to your anus via stomach and about 7.5m (15') of intestine, and there's always something along it somewhere unless you've had serious dysentary or a bowel prep for a colonoscope, etc.

Nothing wrong with it. You have OCD about the cleanness of your bum, I have that with my hands

there is no harm in it - you're basically giving yourself an emema after the BM.............just keep everything sterile and clean - the last thing you want to do is introduce infection into your bowels...............

You're essentially giving yourself an enema which in itself isn't harmful.

You should be careful though, because your body could become more accustomed to needing that to fully empty your bowels.

Actually, they do this in France, I think they call it a duvay, I do it all the time, as I hate having stains on my tightie whities.

No...not unless you are also suctioning, not just squirting the water in. That could be hurting the rectum lining. Otherwise you are just giving yourself an enema basically.

No harm in it. I use the head of the douche which is mounted on the wall next to the toilet. I have not used tissue to clean myself since I first visited Thailand in 1990. It cannot clean you like fresh, running water. The so called third world countries are way ahead of the West on personal hygiene.
