Reply to "Barium enema test"

It’s more common to do a defecogram than a pouchogram to figure out emptying difficulties. Both involve squirting contrast medium in rectally, which is the “barium enema” part, but the defecogram observes the actual attempt to empty the pouch. It’s sometimes the only way to see a pouch prolapse. It might be best to know which test is planned, or even to ask your doctor if she’s ordering a defecogram.
