The introduction of fluid into the rectum. Warm saline or oil may be used for the purpose of clearing the faeces when there is serious constipation. Also popular, from time to time, among those who believe that washing out the bowel is a healthy thing to do, even in the absence of constipation. By derivation from the Greek, the word means ‘sending in’, rather than washing out, so is appropriately applied also to the administration of drugs by this route, and to the diagnostic use of barium sulphate to visualize the colon and rectum by X-ray.

Cleansing enemas act by stimulation of bowel activity through irritation of the lower bowel, and by distention with the volume of fluid instilled. When the enema is administered, the individual is usually lying on the left side, which places the sigmoid colon (lower portion of bowel) below the rectum and facilitates infusion of fluid. The length of time it takes to administer an enema depends on the amount of fluid to be infused.-

What Does An Enema Do

An enema (plural enemata or enemas) is the procedure of introducing liquids into the rectum and colon via the anus. Enemas can be carried out for medical reasons (as a treatment for constipation), as a remedy for encopresis, as part of alternative health therapies, and also for erotic purposes, particularly as part of BDSM activities. In earlier times, they were often known as clysters, and were probably used more frequently than at present.

Please see the web page for more details on Enema.
Barium enema is a special x-ray of the large intestine, which includes the colon and rectum. Before x-rays are taken, a liquid called barium sulfate is placed into the rectal area. The liquid is a type of contrast. Contrast can highlight specific areas inside the body, which creates a clearer image. The contrast eventually passes out of your body through your stools.

anemia is when you have a low Red blood cell count and/or hemoglobin and hematocrit. For most people it is caused by iron deficiency. It can make you feel tired, pale, and if severe enough, respiratory problems. In those cases where it is severe, anemics may need a blood transfusion.
