Third, enema with medicated water, for patients with intestinal diseases, some of the drugs need to be absorbed in the colon if the drugs are taken orally and so on to reach the colon is basically ineffective, in order to ensure that the drug reaches the concentration of the affected area, usually in the water and then add drugs to the patient enema, so that the drug stays for a period of time in the intestines, to be fully absorbed by the colon after the drug, medicated water together with intestinal wastes together with the body, this method is called "retention enema", which is called "retention enema". This method is called "retention enema".

Washing the intestines can be detoxified to maintain beauty?
The vast majority of gastroenterologists are not in favor
It is reported that the body's detoxification pathway is multi-faceted, not just from the intestinal discharge of feces this one. Almost all of the body's cells will have some decomposition of poisons, against oxygen free radicals detoxification system, in which the liver is the most important organ detoxification. Toxic substances in the blood, after a series of detoxification chemical reactions in the liver, into low or even non-toxic substances, through the intestinal tract or urinary tract out of the body, the kidneys are the most important detoxification organs in the body, the body's poisons with the urinary excretion of the body, so drink plenty of water and more urination. The skin can also excrete toxins by sweating. A person who does not urinate for a few days will have a life-threatening condition; while a few days without defecation, as long as the liver function is normal, the toxins in the intestines will not be life-threatening.
Cleansing and laxative? Temporarily!
Sha Weihong said, the hangover is in the body to stay overnight feces, will not be long adsorption in the intestinal wall, not through external help can not be completely discharged. On the contrary, when the feces stay in the large intestine, the water will be absorbed by the large intestine, stay longer the more dry, and the mucous membrane of the intestine is very smooth, basically no adsorption, so the dry hangover is even more unlikely to be adsorbed on the intestinal wall. In fact, under normal circumstances, the hangover can be completely eliminated by simply eating and drinking. "In any case, the colon cleansing method can only play the role of laxative, discharge of hangover, can temporarily relieve constipation, but purely rely on colon cleansing to cure chronic diseases is simply not possible."
Additionally, some experts have warned that it is forbidden to use a colon cleanser for people with severe hemorrhoids, excessive weakness and serious heart disease. Long-term use of machine washing can lead to anal sphincter relaxation, insensitivity to stool, resulting in unexpected serious consequences. Therefore the choice must be careful. Sha Weihong pointed out that the human body's intestines and stomach have their own normal metabolism, if not difficult to have to "wash the bowels" to defecate, do not easily use external forces to promote fecal excretion.
Washing weight loss? Wash out the fat is an illusion
Many people are in order to lose weight to wash the intestines, it is said that after washing, you can really see floating grease, this is how it is?
The fecal matter in the colon is devoid of any nutrients, and it is only involved in the formation of stools and the absorption of water and electrolytes. What a cleanse removes is only the feces and other wastes from the colon, and it also takes away a very small amount of the nutrients from the small intestine. Of course, if one eats too much oil, the absorption in the small intestine has reached a state of supersaturation, and it is the excess fat that leaks into the large intestine. In this case, one can often see a small amount of fat floating in the water and take it at face value. What comes out is feces, not fat.
When allergies also become an epidemic ...
Drinking tea to wash the intestines leads to colorectal melanosis
It is reported that the tea to wash the intestines is basically a number of different ingredients of laxatives, these teas can promote gastrointestinal movement, to achieve the effect of laxative. But the more of these medicines, the weaker the function of intestinal voluntary peristalsis, so that people form a dependence on drugs, but aggravate constipation. For long-term use of intestinal cleansing tea, the natural ecology of the intestinal tract will be damaged, leading to a vicious cycle. Sha Weihong also said that clinical treatment now found a previously rare disease colorectal melanosis. Through colonoscopy can be observed, the patient's colon lining has a white and black pattern like zebra, showing a tiger stripes, which indicates that the patient's intestinal mucosa changes, melanin deposits. This pathological change is the long-term eating laxatives, drinking tea containing laxative ingredients lead to.
Washing destroys intestinal flora
Some white-collar workers love to wash the bowel on a regular basis, Sha Weihong said, constipated people anal sphincter function is not very coordinated, if the repeated washing of the bowel, the foreign catheter in the anus in and out of the anus, the anal sphincter can be more flaccid, so that the sensitivity to the intention of the poop worse. Secondly, constipated people usually use less force, if these people can easily defecate by washing the intestine, it will make them more lazy to take the initiative to defecate, and further cause the atrophy of the anal sphincter function and incoordination, the consequences will not be optimistic.
Sedentary women have to move up
Plus normal human intestinal flora, they are interdependent, mutual constraints, the formation of a natural defense barrier role of the ecological environment. If the intestinal flora is confused, it will lead to intestinal dysfunction, causing abdominal distension, diarrhea and other symptoms.
Professional treatment in regular hospitals, the indications for colon cleansing should be strictly grasped by medical staff and strictly controlled. For some people suffering from diseases, including intestinal adhesions, intestinal torsion and other patients, inadvertent cleansing can lead to intestinal perforation.
Secondly, since a catheter is inserted into the anus during colon cleansing, the problem of reverse infection may occur. In addition, there is no guarantee that the liquid instilled into the bowel will not leak out at all. If some people have a loose anal sphincter, 100 milliliters of enema may have to flow out 5 milliliters, especially for women, the anus is very close to the urethra and vaginal opening, and it is very easy to contaminate the urethra and vagina when the fecal matter in the enema flows out.
