Barium Enema

www.nucleusheal... - This 3D medical animation shows a barium enema in the lower digestive tract. Barium is put inside the colon through a lubricated tube inserted into the rectum. X-ray pictures are taken as the barium flows through the colon.

I had one about 2 hours ago. All my worries of it being painful were alleviated, it was simply a mild discomfort, .. the whole thing took literally 10- 12 minutes. Probably the worst thing was not being able to eat ANYTHING the day before, .. but if you take your mind off food it wasn't really a problem for me. Feel free to send me a PM if there's anything else you need to know. PS:( i get my results in 2 weeks.. fingers crossed they'll find nothing.)

I got a Barium enema today. When the doctor said "Now I'm going to blow some air in your rectum to enlarge it" I guarantee you, one of the most painfull thing I've ever endure. Felt like I was getting rammed by a horse for like 5 seconds......

[@Ryukasan1]

Because barium enema are supose to be fun? What am i suppose to say? Comment and say "it's really not bad at all, you won't feel anything". people that get cancer and go through Chemo don't say to other people "Chemo is not bad at all". I'm not trying to compare my experience with someone that is affected with cancer it would be stupid, I'm just saying gthe truth. Barium enema is a painfull, but necessary experience. Also, if someone can be badly influenced by a comment on youtube, they got a problem....

[@rodeo179]

For some patients, urgency of diagnosing could be difference between life and death/severe complications; therefore such risks are taken. Frankly, barium is becoming a thing of the past. Endoscopy/Colonscopy is more accurate, confirmative, and way less risky.

i remember having this humiliation once. they didn't let the thing flow, they fucking used a pump. i was one of the most horrendous feelings you could ever have. and at the end of it the left over barium clogged up my colon and made it million times worse. the thing is i didn't knew that was the case until 3 days later i had to have a colonoscopy and when they gave that salt to mix with water to clean up the colon, i felt constipation instead of diarrhea and i felt the pressure build up until it finally a golf ball sized clump of shit shot out like a cannon, that fucking barium was clogging an already fucked up colon. if you think what you reading is bad, imagine going through that shit

Good thing I fasted after midnight on the 17th. . . . my surgeon called me 6am Oct 18th "don't eat, you can have surgery today the 18th!". was NPO for a total of 33 hours. No food from Thursday Oct 18th 1am to Oct 19th 10am, only ice chips after surgery That was hard!

[@kerimil]

[@bonnie43uk]

cont) .. white colored for a few days, and also i found it hard to flush away, i think the barium contains something which makes your poo very heavy, but this only lasts for a few days after. I hope your procedure goes off ok, feel free to let me know, As I said, the worst thing for me was feeling hungry due to not being allowed to eat prior to the barium, .. i was only allowed a boiled sweet.

[@gabrieldebrah6575]

Explain more please

[@lmundishop8047]

What is a boiled sweet, sweet what?

[@mannys9130]

Yes. The white liquid is a mixture of barium sulfate powder and water. When you poop after having a barium swallow or barium enema procedure, your poop is a mass of dried out and compacted barium sulfate powder. Barium is a very heavy element. That's why they use it for this! It blocks x-rays and makes the colon visible in the images. :) Usually a laxative is recommended afterward to get that barium sulfate out asap so that it isn't dried out and hardened by the colon. It is very constipating if it is left inside and allowed to dry out like that.

[@Luna-dm2dc]

Do the x-ray views vary from hospital to hospital or are they always the same?

[@mannys9130]

The procedure is pretty standardized, though a doctor may want the radiology technician to focus on a specific anatomical area and take images at certain positions or angles showing that area. Generally though, there's a standard set of images and positions. X-ray energy levels are adjusted to get correct penetration of soft tissue and a clear image of the barium bolus.

+Jibreel Ahmed ... The Barium Enema is a diagnostic procedure (or sometimes used as treatment) for lower GI studies. Basically if you're having GI problems this diagnostic test can help the doctor see what's going on. Or if there's a medical condition (e.g. intussusception) it can be used the correct it.

[@Oceansta]

I did a Barium "meal" some years ago to diagnose my appendix. I was simply asked to drink a huge glass of the barium concoction, wait for about 30 mins or so and then go x-rayed. frankly, that makes more sense to me than this video. It seems unnecessarily complicated, uncomfortable and messy.

[@mannys9130]

Barium swallows are best for the upper GI tract. Barium enemas are better for the lower GI tract. If you just want to image the rectum, sigmoid, and colon up to the splenic flexure, it makes no sense to ask the patient to drink a liter or 2 of barium sulfate and then wait 8+ hours for those areas to fill with the barium. An enema can be done and those areas can be filled completely within a few minutes and excellent images can be obtained. Plus, barium sulfate is disgusting. I'd much rather have it injected into my butt and through my colon than have to drink 1-2 liters of it and then wait around in a hospital for hours. I HAVE done the latter as a child at 7 years old, because my GI doc wanted a full esophagus to rectum imaging series. It was awful sitting in the lobby, nauseous as hell, being asked to go drink more and more every 30 minutes for the first 2 or 3 hours and getting x-rays done every hour along the way. One of the worst memories I have as a child. The 2 colonoscopies were also torturous, at least the prep stage of them was.
