Question: I was wondering how frequently should you use an enema?

Answer: How frequently should you use an enema depends on the effectiveness, your symptoms, and your physicians recommendations. In our opinion an enema should only be used to treat minor constipation that you suffer from infrequently.

Enemas have been in use, in some form or another, for thousands of years. They are not dangerous when done correctly and can provide relief of your constipation symptoms. However, overuse can lead to the body becoming dependant on an enema to produce a bowel movement.

For chronic constipation there are better and easier ways to relieve your symptoms. You should consider an herbal supplement that will both cleanse your colon and promote bowel regular bowel movements.

Another good idea is to change your diet to include more fiber. Fiber will assist the colon and you will then be more likely to have loose, but formed, stool which is easier to pass. Most fruits and vegetable are high in fiber as are all bran products.
