What are the effects of using enema frequently on babies?

When the baby has severe constipation, you can inject enema into the baby's anus under the guidance of a doctor to stimulate the rectum and cause defecation. However, enema can only be used in emergencies or occasionally. If used for a long time, even if the dosage is increased, it will become ineffective and will aggravate constipation. In addition, do not give your baby laxatives at will. Babies are young, and their digestive and nervous systems are not yet fully developed. Repeated stimulation or taking laxatives can easily lead to diarrhea, alternating with constipation, causing gastrointestinal dysfunction and affecting normal growth and development.

Because enema is a hyperosmotic laxative, it is not absorbed by the intestinal wall, but absorbs water from the intestines to soften the accumulation in the intestines. It has a certain stimulating effect on babies, and frequent use of enema will cause drug dependence, and it will also be harmful to the baby's physical health. Long-term use of liquid paraffin will affect the baby's absorption of vitamins; large doses of lactulose preparations can cause diarrhea, etc., so it is best to avoid using them for babies.

Frequent use of enema may do more harm than good to the baby's health. Therefore, parents should try to avoid using enema on their babies unless necessary. If the baby's constipation is very severe and enema is really needed, it should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
