Regarding psychological problems for children being given enemas I don't agree. Maybe it is a cultural thing, but enemas in the Philippines is a fairly common practice. I give many enemas with my duty as an orderly and most of my patients are well aware of the procedure having in most cases a lot of experience with cleansing enemas.
My wife and I both come from medical families including being enema families and we continue with our children and it is accepted as a good thing for health. Our backgrounds however are very different. My Mother was a mid wife who gave thousand of cleansing enemas and my Father an Xray tech who gave lots of Barium Enemas. I got a BS in Nursing but was not able to pass our very difficult Nursing Board (only about 15 to 40% of nurse grads pass here and my relatives and friends who are RN's who have immigrate to the US say that the nursing board exams are much easier in the US). I was very lucky as I was able to get a job in one of Manila's best hospitals as a male orderly. My wife's Father is a gastro MD and so she also comes from an enema oriented medical family. My wife is an MD with a Family Medical practice and she also does some shifts in the emergency room of the small hospital in a poor area where her practice is limited. Her patients sometimes have less experience with enemas than mine, but I think that is more because of living conditions. Some of my wife's patients live with either no CR or very very basic CR with many people sharing the same toilet so enemas are more difficult for this families so suppositories are more common sometimes. (we call a rest room a CR for comfort room).
Anyway we believe regular bowel movements are very important as did each ofmour parents even though our families come from different social and economic circumstances. Therefore, despite the differences in our backgrounds continue to use enemas for ourselves and our children for xo stipation as well as periodically for a whole system clean out detoxification. Both of us accepted the routine growing up, and our children do not have a problem with getting enemas when they are constipated or sick or for general wellness detox.
