What does ENEMA mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A medical procedure in which liquid is introduced into the rectum to cleanse the bowel or to deliver medicine.
A nurse or doctor performs an enema by injecting a measured amount of fluid through a tube inserted into the rectum, which softens waste and encourages the bowel to empty. Hospitals often use an enema to prepare a patient for surgery or an examination such as a colonoscopy, when the bowel needs to be completely clear beforehand. Some enemas instead carry medication directly into the lower digestive tract, allowing a drug to act locally rather than passing through the entire stomach and intestines. Home versions of the procedure also exist, though doctors generally recommend using them only under medical guidance.
How ENEMA is used
A standard clinical term, used in medicine and nursing when describing bowel preparation or treatment.
- The nurse explained how the enema would prepare him for the procedure.
- Doctors sometimes order an enema before a colonoscopy.
