Some people are constipated all the year round, forming the habit of using shower enema at home. The water poured in is equivalent to a stimulant, which can make the human body have a defecation reflex, so it feels very comfortable after each enema. But this is actually very dangerous, because the enema pressure is too high, which will cause intestinal perforation.
Enema is a therapeutic method to insert a catheter from anus into rectum and pour liquid into colon to relieve constipation and expel gas. It can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, soften and remove feces, eliminate flatulence, cool patients with high fever, prepare for some operations, examinations or childbirth, dilute and remove harmful substances in the intestine, and reduce poisoning. In addition, it can also achieve the therapeutic purposes of supplementing drugs, nutrition, water and so on.
Extended data:
Don't try to "wash the intestines" casually.
Intestinal lavage is a method of cleaning intestines with water and medical equipment. The filtered purified water at about 38℃ was pumped from anus to rectum at 0. 1 atmospheric pressure, and the total length of large intestine was about 1.5 meters.
This method can treat constipation, prevent colon cancer, ensure the success rate of various enteroscopy and X-ray examinations in medicine, and is conducive to early detection of hidden diseases, preoperative intestinal preparation and early recovery of postoperative intestinal function.
Intestinal lavage is good for constipation patients, but it has no beauty and weight loss effect. Influenced by some advertisements, many people think that defecation is detoxification. In fact, defecation is just defecation, and only the toxins in the digestive tract are discharged.
Not everyone is suitable for intestinal lavage. Before intestinal lavage, professional doctors will ask about the relevant medical history, suffering from serious heart disease, hypertension, serious perianal diseases, anemia and other diseases and not suitable for intestinal lavage during pregnancy. Everyone who wants to wash their intestines should do physical examination items such as electrocardiogram and blood pressure measurement.
In addition, because intestinal lavage depends on water pressure, it can't be used too frequently, so it must be operated by professionals, otherwise the excessive water pressure will also have a certain impact on intestinal mucosa. Therefore, some beauty salons carry out intestinal lavage projects, of course, they cannot choose.
