The pros and cons of enema

Enema is a treatment method for constipation, which is a very common disease. It means that the frequency of bowel movements is very small, the amount of stool is also very small, and most of the time the stool is dry and difficult to defecate. Many of our friends are busy in their daily lives, which leads to mental tension, eating less food, irregular diet, lack of water and vitamins in the body, etc., which will cause constipation. Taking medicine frequently has no significant effect, so they will choose enema to solve the problem of constipation.

Enema therapy can effectively remove old stool in the human intestine, especially for patients with long-term constipation, who often go to the hospital for enema. However, enema also has certain disadvantages, especially for the elderly, children and people with weak constitutions. Frequent enema will irritate the stomach and intestines and cause intestinal flora imbalance. Therefore, enema has both advantages and disadvantages, and whether enema is needed depends on the situation.

The benefits of enema are to help people with constipation defecate, clean the intestines before rectal and anal surgery, and help treat diseases. There are no serious side effects.

It is recommended that people with constipation do not rely on enema to defecate habitually. Long-term enema will affect the normal defecation reflex and easily cause damage to the intestinal mucosa.

The purpose of enema is to clear out the stool and eliminate the toxins accumulated in the body. It is usually done for patients with severe constipation, but it is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure. Frequent enema can damage the already fragile normal intestinal flora, and irregular enema can also cause mechanical damage to the intestine. In fact, the real cure is to restore the advantages of probiotics in the intestines. These probiotics can inhibit the production of toxins by putrefactive bacteria. At the same time, their metabolite lactic acid can promote intestinal peristalsis and help defecation.

Everyone knows the pros and cons of enema. If a patient suffers from long-term constipation, he or she can choose enema when necessary, which can alleviate the pain caused by constipation. If the situation is not very serious, try to avoid enema as much as possible to protect our stomach and intestines.
