How long does it take to defecate after pelvic inflammatory disease enema

In life, for those diseases that are difficult to treat, doctors have developed a new treatment method, which is called enema therapy. Enema therapy is generally used to treat gastrointestinal diseases and children's diseases. The drug is directly poured into the patient's large intestine. This drug works faster than infusion and injection. So how long will it take for you to defecate after enema for pelvic inflammatory disease?

Enema for pelvic inflammatory disease allows the medicine to be absorbed through the rectum, which means that the longer the Chinese medicine is retained in the intestines, the better. If you do not want to defecate after 6 hours, try to keep it in place. If you feel the urge to defecate, you can defecate and most of the medicine has been absorbed.

Suggestions: It is recommended to have a clean bowel movement before each enema to avoid the enema stimulating the rectum and causing defecation in a short period of time, which is not conducive to absorption.

Enema is a treatment method in which a catheter is inserted from the anus through the rectum into the colon to infuse liquid in order to achieve the purpose of defecation and exhaust. It can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, soften and clear feces, reduce temperature, induce labor, dilute intestinal toxins, and reduce absorption. Low-temperature solutions can reduce the temperature of patients with high fever. In addition, it can also achieve therapeutic purposes such as supplying medicines, nutrition, and water.

Frequent enema can damage the already fragile intestinal microecology. In severe cases, long-term enema can also affect the normal defecation reflex. In addition, the potential risks of irregular enema range from intestinal mucosal damage, fecal incontinence, and intestinal infection to mechanical damage such as bleeding and intestinal perforation, and water and electrolyte imbalance leading to collapse.

The real cure is to restore the probiotics in the intestines. These probiotics can inhibit the production of toxins by putrefactive bacteria. At the same time, their metabolite lactic acid can promote intestinal peristalsis and help defecation. In addition, eating more foods rich in dietary fiber can also help with bowel movements.

The rectal mucosa has few wrinkles, no villi, small fluid capacity, and a small absorption area. Drug absorption is relatively slow, and the amount of drugs entering the blood circulation is very limited. However, some drug enema therapies (such as the popular pediatric antipyretic enema) often use hormones such as dexamethasone and antipyretic aminopyrine, which are excessive. The dosage of the empirical prescription is three or four times higher than that of oral or intravenous medication, which can cause bone marrow damage!

However, it is undeniable that some intestinal diseases can be effectively treated with enema. For example, ulcerative colitis mainly affects the rectum and colon, and the ulcer surface is relatively shallow and distributed continuously. The following are some enema prescriptions for ulcerative colitis:

1. Take red peony root, salvia miltiorrhiza, motherwort, chuanxiong, Achyranthes bidentata, turmeric, frankincense, myrrh, peach red, and Panax notoginseng, decoct in water, and apply for enema.
