Your colon processes everything you consume, and over time, it can become backed-up with waste and bacteria. If your colon is full, you may experience cramps, constipation, and a swollen abdomen. Fortunately, you can get an enema to flush the system. This procedure uses liquid to clear your colon, and there are a few benefits of getting this treatment.

How Enemas Support Your Health

1. Remove Contaminants

When waste accumulates in the colon, parasites and bacteria will collect on the walls of your gut. This waste will clog the digestive system, slowing it and making it difficult to pass stool. If your body can’t expel the parasites and bacteria, you may experience nausea and abdominal pain. An enema will push liquid into the rectum to loosen the waste that has collected in the colon, allowing you to pass the contaminants naturally and find relief.

2. Address Constipation

Constipation is uncomfortable, and it often occurs when your stool has become too firm to pass. Opt for an enema if a changed diet and prescribed laxatives aren’t alleviating the discomfort from constipation. The treatment will push water into your colon to soften the stool so that your body can naturally expel the waste.

3. Treat Bowel Diseases

Ulcerative colitis occurs when the colon’s lining inflames, causing nausea, joint pain, or fever. This condition can be treated with an enema with mesalazine, which is a liquid anti-inflammatory substance that can be taken orally or through the rectum. Taking mesalazine with an enema is effective because it’ll directly attack the inflammation, whereas oral medicine will take time to activate in the body.
