Is frequent enema harmful to the body?

Enema is a very common thing in life. Many people often do enema due to constipation or weight loss. For people with constipation, enema is good, but it is only a temporary solution for constipation. It is best to take medication under the guidance of a doctor for constipation. For people who want to lose weight, long-term enema will cause malnutrition. The following specifically introduces the harm of frequent enema to the body.

Precautions for Chinese medicine enema

1. When preparing enema solution, avoid using drugs that are corrosive to the intestinal mucosa.

2. When inserting into the anal canal, the technique should be gentle to avoid scratching the mucosa. If you have hemorrhoids, you should be more cautious.

3. The enema solution should be retained for a period of time depending on the condition of the patient. If some patients cannot retain it, they can adopt a supine position with the head low and feet high, and the dose of the enema solution should also be reduced. The best time for enema is generally before going to bed at night.

Before using Chinese medicine retention enema, you should first understand the location of the lesion in order to master the supine position and the depth of anal canal insertion during enema. Before enema, let the patient empty his stool, and if necessary, a cleansing enema can be performed first. The temperature of the medicine solution should be maintained at 39-41 degrees Celsius. If it is too low, it can enhance intestinal peristalsis and aggravate abdominal pain. If it is too high, it can cause burns to the intestinal mucosa or intestinal dilation, resulting in a strong urge to defecate, causing the medicine solution to stay in the intestine for a short time, less absorption, and poor effect. The speed cannot be too fast, otherwise it will affect the retention time in the intestine. In order to keep the medicine in the intestine for as long as possible, do not exceed 200ml of medicine at a time. You can do enema before going to bed at night and do not get out of bed after enema to improve the efficacy. To deal with catheter occlusion, if occlusion occurs during instillation and the liquid cannot enter, you can rotate the anal canal or pull it out slightly, or shake the enema liquid to prevent the sediment of the liquid from occluding the catheter.

Chinese medicine enema has fewer side effects. Traditional Chinese medicine enema therapy has been used many years ago and has relatively good effects. The purpose of enema is to clear out the stool and eliminate the toxins accumulated in the body. Once the toxins in the body are eliminated, the skin will naturally heal. In addition, we also recommend that everyone has a balanced diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, avoid spicy food, pay attention to rest, and supplement with multiple vitamins to enhance immunity.

The dangers of long-term enema

Enema should be a short-term treatment, so long-term enema is definitely harmful.

1. Destroy normal flora

Our human intestines are already very fragile. If we perform enema for a long time, it will damage the normal flora in the intestines, the so-called good guys.

2. Cause intestinal damage

If the enema is performed improperly, the intestines of our body will be damaged, and gastric perforation is one of the more serious situations. During the douching process, the urethra and vagina may be contaminated by flushed feces.

3. Cause anal relaxation

Long-term enema may also cause us to be unable to hold urine in our lives, because frequent enemas will actually cause our anus and the muscles around the anus to become loose.
