Entire Body System
- Painter
A health spa in Russia has unveiled a bronze monument of three cherubs carrying an enema, a design inspired by the 15th century Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli. [reuters.com]
Sculptor Svetlana Avakina said she designed the 5-foot-high monument with "irony and humor" and modeled the angels on those in works by Italian Renaissance painter Alessandro Botticelli. [nbcnews.com]
Inspired by the 15th century Renaissance painter Botticelli, it was created by a local artist who commented that "Aa enema is an unpleasant procedure as many of us may know. But when cherubs do it, it's all right." [en.wikipedia.org]
- Goiter
We report here a case of severe iatrogenic hypothyroidism with goiter and cholestasis, discovered six weeks after a contrast enema using sodium ioxitalamate, an iodinated contrast agent. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Developmental Delay
Children with developmental delay often display bowel dysfunction and chronic constipation and are therefore high-risk patients. The accepted opinion-that these enemas are not absorbed and therefore systemically inactive-is not true. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Intravenous Administration
Premature newborns are particularly vulnerable to iatrogenic hypothyroidism due to iodine exposure, usually through skin absorption of iodine-containing disinfectants or intravenous administration of iodinated contrast agents. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Internal Bleeding
Improper administration of an enema can cause electrolyte imbalance (with repeated enemas) or ruptures to the bowel or rectal tissues resulting in internal bleeding. However, these occurrences are rare in healthy, sober adults. [en.wikipedia.org]
Gastrointestinal
- Chronic Diarrhea
Some reasons for a contrast enema include: Abdominal pain Change in bowel habits Chronic diarrhea Detecting problems with the structure of the large intestine Irritable bowel syndrome Rectal bleeding Severe constipation Unexplained weight loss How should [childrenshospital.org]
A physician may order a lower GI examination to detect: benign tumors (such as polyps) cancer causes of other intestinal illnesses The procedure is frequently performed to help diagnose symptoms such as: chronic diarrhea blood in stools constipation irritable [swmedcenter.com]
- Rice Water Stool
If the practitioner or medic inadvertently inhaled (instead of blew) during a coughing spell, some rice water stools of the cholera flagellates could be aspirated and swallowed. [bcmj.org]
- Lower Abdominal Pain
Obstructions and polyps (growths) Cancer Unusual bloating or lower abdominal pain Unexplained weight loss Irritable bowel syndrome Changes in bowel movements. Such as chronic diarrhea or constipation, or passing of blood, mucus, and/or pus. [hopkinsmedicine.org]
Musculoskeletal
- Muscular Atrophy
A 4-year-old white female with spinal muscular atrophy and chronic constipation was brought to the emergency department with complaints of lethargy and difficulty breathing following the administration of 2 Fleet pediatric enemas. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
atrophy General Contra-Indications for Basti (include but are not limited to the following): Enema therapy should not be used if the patient is suffering from diarrhoea, bleeding of the rectum, chronic indigestion, breathlessness, diabetes, fever, emaciation [chakrapaniayurveda.com]
Neurologic
- Encephalopathy
It is used in hepatic encephalopathy and post-natal patients. Lactulose is relatively expensive and is frequently prescribed inappropriately. [nhsgrampian.org]
Urogenital
- Phenylketonuria
A 7-y-old girl with phenylketonuria and long-term constipation was admitted to the emergency department with symptoms of seizure, vomiting and abdominal distention. Laboratory results revealed hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
This treatment is not illegal at the moment but we need to get rid of it,’ said the mother-of-six. [metro.co.uk]
The treatment of choice is nonoperative hydrostatic or air enema reduction. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Practitioners now had a new treatment for headaches, respiratory failure, colds, hernias, and abdominal cramps (if administered concurrently with feeding chicken broth by mouth). [bcmj.org]
Etiology
Data collected included age, sex, weight (obese/not obese), stomal location, presence of a permanent button/catheter in the stoma, open vs. laparoscopic surgery, and etiology of fecal incontinence/constipation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Vata is the main etiological factor in the manifestation of diseases. It is the motive force behind the elimination and retention of feces, urine, bile and other excreta. [chakrapaniayurveda.com]
Both Hippocrates and later Galen viewed " autointoxication " as a major etiologic factor of disease (1). [jcge.com]

Pathophysiology
It is emphasised that although TAI can be used in the treatment of several disorders, the pathophysiology, being both different and having a wide spectrum of severity, may sometimes warrant other therapeutic interventions than TAI. [doi.org]
Prevention
Protective shield prevents contamination.Pre-lubricated Comfortip® for ease of insertion.One-way safety valve controls flow and prevents reflux.Easy Squeeze® bottle. Fleet® Enemas are latex-free. [walmart.com]
We identified the risk factors for complications and effective preventive measures for treating complications after TRUS biopsy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Types of Enema Cleansing Enema – This type of enema prevent the release of feces while the patient is in surgery. The process prepares the intestines of the patient for a colonoscopy or x-ray. [registerednursern.com]
