Hello doctor,
I am constipated and have changed my diet and exercise. I have used 1 dose of Rectiofar 3ml for anal enema and still have a feeling of fecal obstruction in the anus. The doctor asked me, is it okay to use anal pump but still constipated?

Hello friend,
With the question "Is it okay to use anal pump but still constipated?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Rectiofar is known as a drug to treat constipation by rectal pump method to stimulates bowel movements, creating the feeling of wanting to go to the toilet immediately. If you are still constipated after lifestyle changes and Rectiofar pumps, you should have a colonoscopy to rule out malignancy.
When lifestyle changes and living habits do not help constipation improve, you need to see a doctor to find out the cause, from which the doctor will have a treatment method suitable for each type of cause. and the extent of the disease. Using drugs to treat constipation requires a doctor's prescription, should not be used indiscriminately or arbitrarily, it will not be effective, and it will cost more.
If you still have questions about constipation, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
