| 1. OBJECTIVES
1.1. ELIMINATION OF RESIDUE
The technique achieves the evacuation of all solids which are stuck to the mucosa or retained within the intestine, such as:
- Fecaloma
- Vegetable or fruit seeds
- Foreign bodies swallowed: plastic, metal objects, etc.
This allows better visibility in the interior of the colon.
1.2. ELIMINATION OF GASES
This brings two additional advantages:
- Improves the manipulation of the scope by allowing greater penetration.
- Reduces tension in the large intestine, which means that the patient will be more comfortable during the operation.
1.3. ELIMINATION OF COLOURATION AND DAMAGED MUCOSA
This allows the observation of a cleaner intestine wall
with greater objectivity resulting from the visual impression or diagnosis.
2. METHOD
In 90% of cases it is necessary and sufficient to carry
out THREE colonic hydrotherapy sessions lasting between 30 to 50 minutes, with a period of
3 to 7 days between each one.
The first session eliminates the residue in the
rectosigmoide and the descending colon.
The second session cleans the splenic flexure and the
traverse colon.
With the third session, complete intestinal cleansing
is achieved with the evacuation of the hepatic flexure, the ascending colon, and
especially the cecum, which has the greatest accumulation of detritus.
Even if the section to be examined is lower down the
tract, it is advisable for the full cycle of colonic hydrotherapy to be completed.
The period between the last session and the scope
should be as short as possible, less than 7 days.
