Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
How Long Does Fleet Enema Take To Clear The Bowels?
I need to use a Fleet enema before a prostate ultrasound tomorrow. One tonight and one in the morning 2 hours before the procedure. I m concerned about the morning. I have an hour and half drive to the doctor. Will the enema finish its work before I leave?
Hi & Welcome. Fleet enema usually causes bowel movement within 5 minutes. So, if you take it early in the morning before you start travelling the bowels will be cleared before you leave your home. Hope this answers your query.
