Does anyone get pressure in their vagina after doing a retention enema? I have had this pressure when I do this and also when I am flaring bad (without the enema).

I know the pressure in my rectum while flaring. Quite annoying but not sure what to do about it.

I don't know if I'd describe it as pressure, but when I was using Rowasa, I did have a weird sensation in that area. I felt completely better in the morning when I was able to pass the enema.

I think it's possible for you to feel it since there's only a wall separating the two. If your sigmoid falls on/across the uterus, I can see how it would feel pressure. It would also depend on if you're standing/sitting/laying....

When I use the enema or am flaring, it sometimes feels like I used to when I had my period...that achey feeling in the same areas, even down my leg and into my back, etc. I had a hysterectomy in 1993.

An antispasmodic might help with that feeling if you take it about an hour before bedtime.

I didn't feel it from the retention enemas, but right before & early in my period when UC was flaring. It felt like my bladder, uterus, & colon were fighting to occupy the same (tight) space-- and 2 of these 3 organs would lose out!!!!! / Old Hat (31 yrs with left-sided UC; presently in remission taking brandname Colazal)
