What Is A Pediatric Enema?

At SDMI, we perform pediatric enemas for imaging purposes, utilizing barium as a contrast agent to highlight the abnormalities in the patient’s colon or rectum. These images can be used to diagnose colorectal cancer, colon polyps, diverticulitis, and other colonical or rectal issues. 

For children, this can be a strange process but the providers at SDMI work to make sure your child is as comfortable as possible during this procedure. If you have concerns about your child withstanding this procedure, contact your provider to talk through any accommodations you may need.
