For whether to lie flat or on your side after an enema, its better to lie on your side. Enema is usually for the treatment of fecal blockage caused by difficult stool, lying flat is not as convenient for the operator as lying on the side. Since the colon has a forward slanting angle, it will be easy to make the contents not flow out, thus not achieving a better treatment effect. On the contrary, lying on the side makes it easier for the medicine to reach the treatment site and make the medicine enter better, so that the effect can be better absorbed. While lying on your side, you can also bend your knees so that the medication can enter and penetrate all parts of the body better. It is not necessary to lie on your side all the time after the injection of the enema, but you can also change your position according to the doctor’s instructions so that the medication can enter the lesion better.
