How to use enema before surgery the day before the operation

Generally, the liquid from a glycerin suppository can be squeezed into the anus the day before surgery. The specific details are as follows:

Using a glycerin suppository before surgery helps stimulate bowel movements, clears feces from the proximal colon, and facilitates the surgical procedure. Under medical guidance, patients may use this medication by lying on their side. First, squeeze out a small amount of the solution to lubricate the anal opening. Then insert the narrow tube of the suppository into the anus and fully squeeze all the liquid into the rectum. Surrounding the anal area with toilet paper may help prevent leakage. After removing the suppository, wait for a period of time. When a strong urge to defecate occurs, go to the restroom to pass stool.

Patients are advised to follow their doctor's instructions when using medications and avoid self-administration to prevent discomfort or serious complications. Diet should be mild and清淡 (light); spicy and irritating foods such as hot pot, barbecue, and spicy hot pot dishes should be avoided. If any discomfort occurs, seek medical evaluation and timely treatment promptly to avoid delaying diagnosis and recovery.
