Manual: Dis-impaction SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY in a HEALTHY 33 year old!!! Drink plenty of WATER Get some artificial "bulk" (eg Metamucil) and use as directed, If absolutely necessary use a FLEET OIL RETENTION enema FOLLOW DIRECTIONS ABSOLUTELY!! Hope this helps Good Luck and HELP YOURSELF it's the best way!
