Water enemas are needed for illness and are beneficial in treating some conditions (e.g. constipation). However, repeated enemas may cause imbalance of flora and have certain effects on the body.
1. For example, for patients who have been constipated for several days without defecation, enemas can soften stools to promote the discharge of dry stools, thus reducing the symptoms of constipation and the absorption of toxins in the body. Note: Enema should pay attention to the temperature of the water, should not be too cold or too hot, to observe whether the patient has hemorrhoids present, the operation should be standardized gently, so as not to cause mucosal damage.
2. If repeated enemas with water may cause an imbalance of intestinal flora, causing a series of intestinal reactions, such as diarrhea. In addition, repeated enemas are prone to damage the intestinal mucosa and cause infections; they may also lead to the formation of intestinal dependence and reduce bowel function.
The above operations should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, avoid self-operation to avoid adverse reactions and complications.
