Not everyone knows how to make an enema properly at home. It should be noted that such a liquid injection into the rectum is done with the help of a special reservoir, which is called the "Esmarch mug".This medical manipulation is quite common among those who have regular problems with the intestines. Very often an enema is placed when it is necessary to urgently clean the lower parts of the rectum, and wait for the action of laxatives there is no way.
In order to understand how to do the right enema at home, we list all the basic attributes that are needed to carry out manipulation. You will need:
- rubber balloon with a tip( Esmarch's mug);
- pelvis or other container with a wide bottom;
- is a dense polyethylene film;
- couch( sofa, bed and so on).
Before you do the right enema at home to yourself or another person, you should determine which purification fluid will be most effective.
How to make a correct enema at home
Currently, there are many different solutions with which to clean the lower parts of the rectum. As them they use also ordinary warm water, and broths of medicinal herbs, and vegetable oils, and salts, and diluted freshly squeezed juices and so on. Depending on the purpose of such manipulations, the most suitable liquid should be chosen.
Cleanse the intestines by washing it with water or solution in the early morning( 5-8 hours) or in the evening( at 21-23 hours).This time is ideal for such manipulations. It should be noted that the positions when introducing fluid into the rectum may be different. The person is allowed to sit on his haunches, lie on his back, on his left or right side( while pressing his knees to his stomach), and also to stand on his knees, leaning on his elbows.
Before correctly making an enema for a child or an adult, you should definitely buy a mug of Esmarch in the pharmacy. It must be filled with cleaning liquid, closed and highly suspended. After that the tip is recommended to be abundantly lubricated with petroleum jelly, vegetable oil or a nutritious cream. It is required to completely exhaust the air from the tube. Having reached the outflow of water, it is necessary to close the tap. Then the tip should be inserted gently into the anus, and then remove the clamp. During this procedure, 1.5 to 2 liters of fluid should enter the rectum.
It should be specially noted that these manipulations can be carried out not only with the help of Esmarch's mug, but also using an ordinary pear. Before correctly making an enema with a syringe, it is required to perform all the same actions that were described above. Typically, a rubber pear is used to clean the lower intestine in young children.
After the procedure has been completed, the patient must lie in the same position for 5 to 10 minutes. During this time the feces will become soft, and their output will be greatly facilitated.
