Evacuant Enema at Home

250 MAD

An evacuant enema instils a warm solution into the rectum in order to soften impacted stool and trigger complete emptying of the rectum and sigmoid colon. Performed at home by a qualified nurse, on medical prescription or under a validated protocol, it is indicated for refractory constipation, faecal impaction — particularly in bedridden patients and in those who have lost independence — and for bowel preparation before a radiological or endoscopic examination. The patient is placed in the left lateral (Sims) position, the solution is warmed to body temperature (35–37 °C) and instilled slowly, then retained for 10 to 15 minutes before evacuation. Throughout, the nurse monitors tolerance — pain, cramping, vagal discomfort — provides perineal hygiene and comfort care afterwards, and records the quantity and appearance of the stool passed for the referring physician.

Performed on medical prescription. Home visits are arranged by phone call or WhatsApp.
