The harm of enema for nine-month-old babies

Try not to use enema treatment on 9-month-old babies, because the baby's body is very delicate at this time and the intestinal wall is not yet fully developed. If it is not treated properly, it can easily cause great harm to the child's anorectal system. If this kind of treatment is really needed, you should go to a regular hospital. In addition, it should be understood that enema treatment is generally a symptomatic treatment and its risks are greater than treatment. Attention should be paid to this aspect.

The harm of enema for nine-month-old babies

1. Too much enema medicine is dangerous

After using rectal instillation for such a long time, I found that this therapy is far from being as magical as it seems. Rectal instillation uses a large amount of medicine and the use of medicine is not strict. Up to now, the country has not promoted it, and there is no strict standard to implement. Everyone is abusing drugs, either orally or intravenously, as long as it is a medicine, it is injected into the body. Most so-called empirical prescriptions contain dosages that are many times greater than those for oral or intravenous medications.

2. Enema is only a temporary solution, not a permanent cure

Enema is a short-term measure and has no therapeutic effect. It is usually done by people with severe constipation, and it is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure. Frequent enema can damage the already fragile normal intestinal flora, and irregular enema can also cause mechanical damage to the intestines, or even intestinal perforation. And the stool in the lavage fluid can easily contaminate the urethra and vagina when it flows out.

3. Enema can cause intestinal flora imbalance

If you do colon cleansing frequently, the anal sphincter will become more relaxed, making you less sensitive to the urge to defecate. Frequent bowel cleansing can easily cause disorder in intestinal flora, leading to intestinal dysfunction, and causing symptoms such as abdominal bloating and diarrhea. If constipation is particularly severe, enema can indeed wash away stool and toxins, and it is effective if done occasionally. However, it is impossible to do enema frequently. Once every two weeks is already very frequent. Moreover, toxins are produced every moment, so colon cleansing and detoxification are simply unreliable.

What should be paid attention to when doing an important enema?

In the supine position, the dose of enema solution should also be reduced. The best time for enema is generally before going to bed at night. Before using Chinese medicine retention enema, you should first understand the location of the lesion in order to master the supine position and the depth of anal canal insertion during enema. Before enema, let the patient empty his stool, and if necessary, a cleansing enema can be performed first.

The temperature of the medicine solution should be maintained at 39-41 degrees Celsius. If it is too low, it can enhance intestinal peristalsis and aggravate abdominal pain. If it is too high, it can cause burns to the intestinal mucosa or intestinal dilation, resulting in a strong urge to defecate, causing the medicine solution to stay in the intestine for a short time, less absorption, and poor effect.

The speed cannot be too fast, otherwise it will affect the retention time in the intestine. In order to make the medicine solution remain in the intestine for as long as possible, the medicine solution should not exceed 200ml at a time. You can do enema before going to bed at night. After enema, do not get out of bed and move around to improve the efficacy.
