What is Enema?
An enema is a medical procedure used when someone has difficulty passing stools then an injection of fluids through the anus into the rectum and colon is used to deliver fluids through the anus into the rectum and colon in order to make stool easier to pass.
Its primary purposes include relieving constipation, clearing the bowel before medical examinations (such as colonoscopy), and delivering medication or other therapeutic agents directly into the rectal area. Careoxy provides Enema Service At Home in Delhi NCR. Professional Care to your doorsteps.
What is enema used for?
The purposes that call for the use of an enema. They include:
- Relieving constipation: In cases of occasional constipation resistant to other treatments, enemas can effectively provide relief.
- Testing: Before undergoing tests, doctors might recommend an enema to clear the large intestine of faecal matter, as typically seen before procedures like a colonoscopy.
- Imaging: During colon imaging procedures (colon X-rays), We utilise barium enemas to enhance the visibility of the large intestine.
- Administering medication: For inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treatment, using an enema can be directly administered to the colon.
- Prepare for surgery: You might need an enema to flush out poop before surgery on your colon or rectum. Getting rid of the poop reduces the risk of infection during surgery. You might need an enema to clean out your bowels before surgery on your colon or rectum. This helps remove waste from your body, which lowers the risk of infections during the operation.
- Medicine: We (Careoxy Nurse) insert medicine directly into your colon using an enema. For example, some medicines reduce inflammation associated with gastrointestinal diseases, like ulcerative colitis.
Types of Enema
- Sodium phosphate enemas: It is the mixture of water and salt(saline). This fastest acting type Enema pulls water into the colon, softening your stool for easy to pass.
- Glycerin enemas: It also pulls the water into the colon to soften the stool to pass.

No matter the type of enema, you must follow the instructions exactly to make sure you’re putting in the right amount of fluid. Otherwise, you could have unpleasant side effects, and too much fluid could damage your colon.
