Can large deep enemas harm the appendix and Ileum?

When preforming large deep enemas, I was curious if such an enema could flow into the appendix as well as the Ileum? If so would such a thing be harmful?

Answered on 16th July '24

When performing large deep enemas, the fluid can potentially reach the ileum but is unlikely to flow into the appendix due to its narrow opening. However, doing this procedure at home can be risky. It is always best to consult a gastroenterologist to understand the safe practices and risks involved.

Digestive system not work properly

Male | 23

If our stomach isn't functioning properly, it can cause bloating, gas, and digestive problems like constipation or diarrhea. These issues might arise from eating too quickly, not drinking enough water, or stress. To improve digestion, try eating slowly, drinking plenty of water, and consuming more fiber-rich foods like fruits and vegetables.

Weakness tiredness anemia headache fever vomiting stomach pain

Female | Aastha

Your symptoms resemble those of a gastroenteritis infection, which is a complex term for a stomach bug. These may leave you feeling lethargic, and drowsy, and you might also experience a headache and fever. Besides these, vomiting as well as stomach aches are quite common. The most likely culprit that causes this bug is a virus or bacteria. Adequate water, rest, and the consumption of unseasoned foods are useful treatments for the illness. However, if the condition worsens, you should visit a doctor.

Sir I have constipation and sound comes from my intestine and I have regular neck pain and gastric issue

Male | 34

Fe­eling stopped up where­ poop won't come out easily is called constipation. That gurgling noise­ is likely gas traveling in your intestine­s. Neck pain and stomach troubles sometime­s happen due to stress or e­ating unhealthy foods. Drinking lots of water, eating fre­sh produce, and moving around can help you poop bette­r. To ease neck pain, try re­laxing. Cutting greasy, spicy foods may relieve­ stomach issues.

I’ve had constipation for six months and I have been using dulcolax every week to help, however this week when I used my dose, I felt nauseous and didn’t feel my normal budge in stool. I suspect I have impacted stool or some sort of blockage. I tried 2 enemas however after using them (lying on my left, inserting it for 5 minutes and staying still) it didn’t work. My main question is If I’m having impacted stool should I take miralax powder , dulcolax pills, or suppositaries, or a third enema Or book a colonic treatment? thank you

Male | 17

If you feel sick after taking Dulcolax you may need to try a different method. When stool is impacted it means that the poo has become stuck and will not come out very easily. Use Miralax powder which can help to soften it. You can mix it with a drink and take it according to the instructions on the packet. Make sure you also drink lots of water. If there is no change when using Miralax then you should speak to a healthcare professional for further advice.
