Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Soapsuds enema contains soap which is very irritating to the bowel's mucous lining and should be used with caution or avoided altogether, especially in individuals with sensitive bowels. Saline enema, tap-water enema, and oil-retention enema are less irritating to the mucous lining of the bowel. Saline enema is commonly used to soften stools, tap-water enema is used to promote bowel movements, and oil-retention enema is used to lubricate and soften the feces for easier passage.
