Question: Fatigue after enema best answer 10 point?
Answers:
Your symptoms sound like electrolyte imbalance. A saline enema uses sodium phosphate as it's active ingredient. That is an osmotic laxative that works by drawing moisture from your body through the colonic lining to increase moisture in the colon and stool. This can cause strain on the kidneys and/or cause a rapid depletion of electrolytes. In the future, I would avoid disposable enemas. Invest in a douche/enema bag and take a warm water enema; however, never use the same bag you use for enemas for douching as you could get a vaginal infection if the bag wasn't really clean.
A warm water enema with a teaspoon of salt added per quart of water should provide a saline level in the solution that closely matches your body's saline level; which will reduce the chance of electrolyte imbalance. A warm water enema administered slowly can help relieve your constipation and provide relaxation.
Next time you do an enema use a clear water enema only. A saline enema works by pulling fluid into the colon to soften the bm. It is possible it made you some what dehydrated. Increase water intake and see if you start to feel better. You should let your Doctor know too. Call his office and talk to his nurse and tell her what happened.
