Colon Hydrotherapy

Overall well-being also depends on intestinal balance. Hydrocolon therapy is a medical treatment that deeply cleanses the lower part of the colon with a gentle irrigation of thermal water, accompanied by a light abdominal massage. It helps rebalance the bacterial flora and is indicated for chronic constipation, flatulence, irritable bowel syndrome, and intestinal irregularities, as well as for preventive purposes. It is performed using medical equipment in a private and comfortable environment. The number and frequency of sessions are determined together with the doctor, who also assists the patient in preparing for the treatment.

How does the treatment work?

Hydrocolon therapy is primarily recommended for chronic constipation, flatulence, irritable bowel syndrome, and alternating bowel habits, characterized by alternating constipation and diarrhea, but it also offers benefits in cases of chronic colitis, hemorrhoids, diverticulosis, and certain intestinal infections. The suitability of the treatment is assessed by the doctor based on individual conditions.
During the session, the patient is made comfortable on a treatment table. Through a disposable anatomical device connected to a special medical apparatus, water is gently introduced into the colon and subsequently evacuated along with intestinal waste. A manual abdominal massage accompanies the treatment, promoting the movement of water and intestinal cleansing, without pain or spasms.

Preparation and practical information

In the two days before the session, a light diet is recommended, based on pasta or rice with vegetables, white meats and fish, limiting fruit and sweets and drinking at least two liters of water a day. The preparatory protocol also includes, in the two evenings before, the intake of a fiber-based preparation or English salt dissolved in water, according to medical instructions.
On the day of the treatment, a light breakfast is recommended, based on water, tea or herbal teas, maintaining any usual medications unless otherwise prescribed. For afternoon sessions, a light lunch with pasta and cooked vegetables is planned. In the days following the treatment, the intake of probiotics for at least ten days is recommended.
