| An implant enema is where a small amount of a specialized enema solution is injected
into the rectum and usually held until absorbed or a specified amount of time. These enemas are usually used for a medicinal reason. The syringe most often used for this type of enema is a piston type syringe or a bulb syringe. These syringes can come in sizes from 1 oz. up to 26 oz. Normally the recommended amount
of implant solution is around 8 to16 fluid ounces. Sometimes as much as a quart is used. |
Warning:
Do not use enemas or laxatives if abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting are present
unless directed by your health care provider.
Rectal bleeding or failure to have a bowel movement after use of a laxative or enema may
indicate a serious condition.
Discontinue use and consult your health care provider.
