Question

Is daily enema harmful to babies?

Answer

Enema is one of the treatment methods for megacolon, but it can only temporarily alleviate symptoms. Long-term daily enemas may lead to intestinal flora imbalance, which is detrimental to the baby’s health. It is recommended to consider minimally invasive surgery as soon as possible to solve the problem thoroughly. At the same time, parents should take their children to specialized hospitals for timely examination and treatment and regularly conduct health checks.
