It is an injection into the rectum or colon for stimulating bowel movement. It is used to clear lower half of the large bowel.
Some of the cleansing enemas include Water or saline that mimics sodium concentration and expands the colon and mechanically promote defecation.
This procedure is used in:
- Constipation
- Fatigue
- Headaches
- Backaches.
For a high colonic enema, the fluid must extend higher in the colon. If the height of the enema fluid container above the anus is increased, the force and rate of flow also increases.
- 30 cm (12 inches) is too low for a cleansing enema.
- The height of 51 cm (20 inches) and 66 cm (26 inches) ae too high and may cause mucosal injury.

Unfortunately... You're better off keeping that VP shunt in your head. VP Shunts are usually kept in for a long time, which actually can cause a problem where skin and tissue attaches to the tube. VP Shunt removals are risky, because that means, that they would have to separate the tissues that have become attached to it, which can create major complications, especially when brain tissue is involved. You also run the risk of severe infection from doing so... The Shunt removal especially for such a long time period is better avoided, but it is possible, but you should probably bring it up with your PCP and a neurosurgeon or neurologist.
On the bright side, you can actively participate in sports just as long as it is not a contact sport, which risks contact with the shunt.
There’s no picture is there supposed to
be one ?
