An enema is a procedure that involves emptying the bowels with liquid or gas.

Enema bag is a rubber bag or other device for administering an enema.

An enema involves inserting liquid directly into your rectum to help you poop. Most people use them to relieve constipation that hasn’t improved with other treatments and as a colon cleanse to prepare for a colonoscopy.

Enemas work via gravity so the higher you place the bucket or bag the faster the water will flow. Before putting liquid into bucket, there is a flow-control clamp on the end of the tubing that should be moved down toward speculum end (near your rear), and kept fully closed.
