Introduction
If the symptoms of intestinal obstruction in newborns are relatively mild and there is no obvious vomiting or abdominal distension, medications such as glycerin suppositories or Maziren Pills, which help lubricate the intestines and promote bowel movements, may be considered. Glycerin suppositories can assist defecation by stimulating the intestinal wall to trigger a defecation reflex, and may provide some benefit for incomplete intestinal obstruction caused by functional constipation or similar reasons.

Zhi Ren Wan (Semen Cannabis Compound) generally refers to Ma Ren Wan. Enema and Ma Ren Wan are usually used as adjuvant therapies for mild neonatal intestinal obstruction. However, if the condition is severe, these two medications may not be effective. It is advisable to seek timely medical attention and receive treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician after clarifying the condition.

If symptoms of neonatal intestinal obstruction are mild and there is no obvious vomiting or abdominal distension, lubricant laxatives such as enema or Ma Ren Wan may be considered. Enema can stimulate the intestinal wall to induce a defecation reflex, thereby assisting with bowel movements, which may help alleviate incomplete intestinal obstruction and relieve discomfort such as abdominal distension to some extent. Similarly, Ma Ren Wan also has the effect of lubricating the intestines and promoting bowel movements, which can help ease symptoms of intestinal obstruction in newborns.

However, it should be noted that intestinal obstruction may be caused by various factors such as congenital intestinal malformations, intestinal volvulus, intussusception, or meconium blockage. In such cases, simply using enema or Ma Ren Wan often cannot resolve the problem and may even worsen the condition. The intestines and digestive system of newborns are very delicate; improper use of enema or Ma Ren Wan could cause damage to the intestinal mucosa, leading to infection or other complications.

Before using enema or Ma Ren Wan, it is essential to undergo evaluation and diagnosis by a qualified physician to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the medication. Parents should actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan and closely monitor changes in the newborn's symptoms.
