Intestinal lavage is divided into the following two methods:
1, oral drugs such as drinking mannitol, soaking senna leaves, and taking fruit guide tablets;
2, clean enema such as soapy water enema. There is also an enema called drug enema. For example, when treating colitis, drugs are used to directly reach the diseased intestine.
Both methods have no pain and discomfort, and will have diarrhea after completion. Irritating laxatives can not be used for a long time, otherwise it will easily cause melanosis and have no side effects.
If healthy people wash their intestines frequently, it will destroy the ecological balance of intestinal cavity as a defense barrier, lead to imbalance of intestinal flora, make pathogenic bacteria take advantage of it and cause intestinal infection, which may not be beneficial. In addition, it is not suitable for people with serious heart disease, hypertension, serious perianal diseases, anemia, early pregnancy and surgery to wash intestines. For everyone who wants to "go to the hospital for intestinal lavage", physical examination items such as electrocardiogram and blood pressure measurement should be done.
