An enema bag holds the liquid solution that is used for an enema.
When the bag is filled and hung at a specific height, it creates pressure that allows the liquid to flow into the rectum through a tube connected to the bag. This liquid can serve several purposes:
Cleansing: To clear out the colon, often as preparation for a medical procedure like a colonoscopy.
Relieving constipation: By softening stool and stimulating bowel movements.
Administering medication: Some medications can be delivered directly into the rectum through an enema.
Essentially, the enema bag is the container and delivery system for the liquid used in the enema process.
