Currently there is no best way to cleanse the bowel. There are generally dietary cleansing, drug cleansing, mechanical cleansing and other common methods.
1. Dietary intestinal cleansing: mainly through changing the dietary structure to clear the intestines. Drink 2000-2500ml of water daily and above. You can also add more food rich in dietary fiber to your diet, such as fresh fruits, vegetables and coarse grains, etc., to ensure that there is sufficient water and capacity in the intestinal tract, which is conducive to stimulating the intestinal wall and ensuring that the stools are lubricated and smooth, so as to achieve the purpose of intestinal cleansing. This method is slower, but safer.
2. Drug purging: through the laxative to achieve the purpose of rapid purging, usually using solvent-based laxatives, such as magnesium sulfate, lactulose, compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte bulk and so on.
3. Mechanical bowel cleansing: also known as “intestinal hydrotherapy”, the use of intestinal hydrotherapy machine to the intestinal tract into the water or enema, through the principle of dispersion and osmosis to remove excess water and accumulation of metabolism products in the body, and will be discharged from the body with the water or enema. This method is fast-acting but has the risk of damaging the intestinal tract and causing intestinal flora imbalance, and is not recommended for frequent use.
In addition, there are methods such as abdominal massage, strengthening exercise, etc. You can also supplement probiotics or use gastric stimulants to help regulate gastrointestinal activity and assist in defecation.
