How does transanal irrigation (TAI) work?

Transanal irrigation involves introducing lukewarm tap water into the rectum via a specialized catheter. The water softens stool and stimulates the natural muscular contractions (peristalsis) of the colon, allowing for efficient and predictable bowel evacuation.

Who can benefit from using transanal irrigation systems?

TAI is commonly prescribed for individuals experiencing neurogenic bowel dysfunction caused by spinal cord injury, spina bifida, or multiple sclerosis, as well as those suffering from severe chronic constipation or slow-transit bowel conditions.

How often should transanal irrigation be performed?

Transanal irrigation is typically performed every day or every other day, depending on individual medical needs and physician recommendations. Establishing a consistent schedule helps maintain predictable bowel control and prevents leakage between irrigations.
