Using a syringe to give an enema

Vaginal douching is a procedure that is somehow familiar to all women. It is used as an independent method of treating a number of diseases and as part of complex therapy, and is also used in preparation for various gynecological procedures, childbirth, etc. But it is important to know that the choice of solution for this procedure, the douching algorithm, the duration of the course of treatment, and others It depends on the circumstances whether douching will be beneficial to health or harmful to it. Therefore, before the procedure, you need to consult with your doctor to know exactly how to do vaginal douching.

Basic rules for douching at home

What should the temperature of the douching solution be? How long should douching last? What do you use to douche with? What position should you choose for douching? How to properly prepare a solution for douching?

The basic rules that help to carry out the procedure correctly and without risk to health are simple - compliance with them does not require special knowledge or skills from the woman. But it is important to take into account all the requirements for proper vaginal douching. This is the only way to be sure that the procedure will be beneficial.

Solution temperature.

In most cases, the temperature of the douching solution for discharge and other unpleasant sensations in the intimate area should not exceed body temperature. To measure it, it is better to use a water thermometer pre-treated with an antiseptic.

Duration of the procedure.

The duration of female douching should not exceed 15 minutes. This time is enough for the surface of the mucous membrane to be completely treated with the solution, but the beneficial microflora is not washed out.

Duration of the course.

How long the course of procedures should last is decided by the attending physician. This depends on the woman’s health condition and the characteristics of the use of the drug for douching.

Pressure level

. The solution should be applied to the mucous membrane of the intimate area without putting pressure on it. Otherwise, if the stream of solution is very strong, it can overcome the barrier in the form of a mucus plug in the cervix and cause undesirable consequences.

Special devices.

An Esmarch mug can be used for douching. It is a cylinder with a flexible tube coming out of it. It is quite easy to regulate the jet pressure: to do this, you need to raise or lower the cylinder. Also a popular means for douching is a special rubber bulb with a tip.

Posture during insertion.

The most comfortable position for a woman in which to douche is lying in the bathtub with her legs thrown over its sides. This is reminiscent of the position that a woman occupies in the gynecologist's chair. You can also douche while sitting on the toilet or squatting over a basin. But if you have a long procedure, you can quickly get tired in this position, which makes douching uncomfortable.

Features of preparing solutions.

The solution for douching at home should be prepared immediately before the procedure and in strict accordance with the instructions for the drug.

Preparatory stage

The purpose of cleansing the intestines is to flush out secretions containing pathogenic microflora. Before using the method, it is recommended to consult a doctor.

Douching at home should be done with great caution. Solutions represent an aggressive environment for the female reproductive system. The body copes quite well on its own, producing antibodies, and resorting to the procedure is necessary as a last resort! In some cases, douching is carried out with a syringe. Neglecting the recommendations will lead to serious consequences, including for the intestines.

Execution rules and inventory

You can do an enema with a syringe after following the step-by-step steps to avoid negative consequences:

1. Decide on the location of the procedure.
2. Lay down the oilcloth and place the basin under one edge.
3. Place a towel or diaper on top.
4. Take a lying position, turning on your left side (5-7 minutes).
5. You will need a rubber bulb with a long tip and a volume of 450 ml.

1. Before use, disinfect the pear by boiling for 15 minutes.
2. Moisten the tip with hydrogen peroxide and lubricate it with Vaseline (reduce the risk of intestinal injury).
3. Wear sterile gloves to prevent infection.
4. Do the introduction carefully, with rotational movements (11-14 cm); slowly pressing on the enema.
5. After the procedure, squeeze your buttocks tightly for 2-3 minutes.

Correctly performed steps will allow you to feel the urge to defecate and urinate within 5 minutes. If there is no result, lie on your side for a while. The appearance of burning, pain, nausea is an indicator for canceling the procedure. Consulting a doctor will help determine the appropriate solution for use. At the end of cleansing, insert a suppository containing zinc ointment for healing.

A child on artificial nutrition often faces difficulty in bowel movements. Cleansing is carried out after careful preparation.

Consequences of using a syringe

Cleansing procedures should be carried out carefully, since the cleansing function of the intestines is impaired. Such assistance will lead to the removal of harmful, but also beneficial bacteria. Without the positive effect of microflora on the immune system, pathogenic bacteria will begin to actively multiply.

Inserting the syringe incorrectly can cause intestinal damage. A large rupture will allow intestinal contents to enter the abdominal cavity (peritonitis). Urgent surgery will be required.

Intoxication develops against the background of problems with emptying, harmful substances penetrate into the blood.

The presence of pathologies in the tissues of the gastrointestinal tract with a significant volume of fluid will lead to a stretching effect, an increase in internal pressure, irritation and exacerbation of diseases.

The benefits and harms of the procedure

The intestines require periodic home cleansing procedures. The main thing is to understand what advantages and disadvantages are inherent in procedures of this kind:

• Using an enema in the early stages of treatment is considered effective.
• The convenience of the syringe ensures that the cleansing procedure can be carried out independently.
• Feces are washed out faster under strong pressure (balloon).
• An enema provokes intestinal irritation, causing peristalsis to work.

When choosing a cleansing method, it is important to pay attention to contraindications:

• Bleeding in the stomach, intestines; postoperative days;
• Intestinal congestion;
• Acute stage of inflammation in the colon, anus;
• Prolapsing bowel;
• Hemorrhoids with blood;
• Acute stage of appendicitis, peritonitis;

Place of pain in appendicitis

• Problems of an oncological nature;
• Pathologies of the circulatory organs.

Douching with decoctions and infusions of medicinal herbs

For douching, it is strongly recommended not to use traditional medicine recipes, including decoctions of medicinal herbs. Not a single herbal raw material used for this procedure has been studied to such an extent that safety for fragile women’s health can be guaranteed. The use of medicinal herbal decoctions can mask the symptoms of trouble, but the cost of such an illusion of recovery can be very high. In addition, even the most “harmless” herbal solutions for douching for discharge and other problems in the intimate area can lead to microflora disturbances and, as a result, to the development of diseases.

Indications for the procedure

An enema for babies will help relieve constipation.

Enema administration to newborn children should be carried out according to indications.

Most often, children who switch to artificial nutrition need this procedure. That is why during the transition period, mothers are advised to monitor their baby’s stool.

If occasional constipation occurs during this period, you can give your baby an enema.

Enemas are also used when there is a need to administer certain medications into the baby’s intestines. By administering an enema, the process of absorption of certain medications by the infant’s body is significantly accelerated.

If a newborn child is poisoned by food, then he is also prescribed a procedure. This procedure will accelerate intestinal motility, which will facilitate its emptying.

Giving enemas to newborn children on a regular basis is strictly prohibited. Constipation is hard stool that is painful when released. If a mother suspects constipation in her infant, she needs to change her own diet. For this purpose, the following products are taken:

• Prunes;
• Dried apricots;
• Beet;
• Oatmeal, etc.

With the help of the above products, normal bowel movements will be ensured for the infant. If a newborn is fed artificial formulas, it is recommended to change them to others that contain large quantities of iron. If these methods do not help treat the baby, then it is necessary to use an enema.
