Gloassary term:

Enemas

Enemas are a medical procedure involving the introduction of liquid into the rectum and colon via the anus, primarily to relieve constipation, prepare for diagnostic procedures, or administer medication. They are significant in clinical practice for their role in bowel management and can be crucial in emergency settings for rapid evacuation of stool or toxins. A key complication associated with enemas is electrolyte imbalance, particularly with excessive or inappropriate use, which can lead to serious health issues.
