Cleansing enema
This method is effective if a person has not had an act of defecation for more than 4-5 days, and very hard feces have formed in the rectum, which causes severe pain. It must be remembered that taking laxatives alone will not help. A cleansing enema is the most effective method for eliminating constipation in an adult at home.
If an adult has severe constipation, it is necessary to do a cleansing enema to soften the stool. To do this, you need to collect warm water (at least 500 ml) in Esmarch’s mug, effectively add a solution of glycerin to the water, as it facilitates the act of defecation.
Using a tip attached to the Esmarch mug, it is necessary to slowly inject the solution, while the person should be in the supine position on the left side. If after the act of defecation the rectum is not completely emptied, then the procedure can be repeated.
To urgently help a child with constipation, you can use an enema “Mikrolax”, the effect after its application occurs within 10 minutes.
