Colonic Irrigation Procedure: Explanation

The colonic irrigation process should be kept ready by connecting it directly to the sewer system, ensuring that the nozzles being used are 'single used nozzles'. During this procedure, there is a shower room and has a toilet nearby, and the hospital bed too is very close to the colonic irrigation system. For the convenience of the patient, there should be pillows and sheet and then the water container of the machine needs to be filled with water in adequate quantities. When the patient gets ready for the colonic irrigation process, the colon dose commences by taking precautions such as making use of protective gears, latex gloves and aprons made of plastic, and the important thing is that all these must be 'single used'. In this procedure, the parts of the colonic nozzle, rectum and the anus are lubricated before the proper insertion of the nozzle into the rectum. When the machine is turned on, the movement of water is in the clockwise direction, and the machine at the same time will be sucking the water out. The abdomen massage at this time will be done in a direction which is opposite to that of the water flow. The nozzle is removed and the gloves and apron is discarded once the machine stops, and the patient is given time to take a shower to get fresh.

Before the colonic irrigation procedure, you should not eat a very large meal and neither should you intake a lot of drinks immediately after the procedure. You are expected to give the doctor all right and authentic information about your current health problems (if any) and your past medical history by actually filling up a form. Once the colonic irrigation process is over, your doctor may prescribe you probiotics, which are useful bacteria to help protect your digestive system, in the form of tablets.

After the colonic irrigation procedure, you may face problems like electrolyte imbalance and infection and heart failure in some cases. However, you can consider this procedure after consulting your doctors for the advantages associated with it.
