    Remove tip from rectum.
    stop using if tip is hard to insert. Forcing the tip into rectum can cause injury (especially if you have hemorrhoids). If enema tip causes rectal bleeding or pain, get immediate medical care.
    maintain position until urge to evacuate is strong (usually 1 to 5 minutes)
    if no urge is felt after 5 minutes of using, try to empty bowel. Call a doctor promptly if no liquid comes out of the rectum after 30 minutes because dehydration could occur.
