Enemas are a type of fluid that is used to either clean or stimulate bowel emptying. Enemas can be used to treat constipation, where the stool in the gut does not move along adequately, causing it to become hard and difficult to be egested.
Constipation can be due to many things such as lifestyle choices or an underlying medical condition. Constipation due to lifestyle choices can be treated by:
- Enemas such as
- Balanced diet with high fibre foods such as beans, broccoli, whole grains and fruits.
- Include probiotics in the diet with foods such as yogurt, kimchi, tempeh, kefir etc.
- Regular physical activity and exercise for 15 to 30 minutes a day.
Medical causes of constipation will require attention and help from trained healthcare professionals. If constipation persists for more than three weeks, worsens or is associated with pain and bleeding, consult a doctor for diagnosis and management.
