Yes, the rectum contains a small amount of fluid, primarily mucus, which is secreted by the mucous membranes lining the rectum. This mucus helps lubricate the passage for stool elimination. Additionally, the rectum can also hold some residual fluid from intestinal contents, but it is not filled with fluid in the same way as other organs.

Can you lose spinal fluid from rectum?

No, spinal fluid cannot be lost from the rectum. Spinal fluid, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), is contained within the spinal canal and surrounding the brain and spinal cord. If there is a leak of spinal fluid, it typically occurs through the dura mater, the protective covering of the spinal cord, often due to injury or medical conditions, but this would not manifest through the rectum. If someone experiences unusual symptoms, they should consult a healthcare professional.

How does your rectum break down food?

The rectum doesn't do anything to break down food. By the time "food" reaches the large intestine, what was at one time "food" is then liquefied waste. In the small intestines, fluid is added. So in the large intestines, the fluid is pulled back out of the waste and then pushed toward the kidneys to process it. As the fluid is pulled back, the liquefied wastes become semi-solid (to very dry solid if constipated). After going through the last part of the large intestines, the solid waste (stool, feces) is pushed into the top of the rectum. The rectum acts as a holding receptacle and as a nerve center that sets off a "gotta go" signal through a feeling of fullness, e.g. pressure on the nerves in the walls of the rectum. The rectum is about 10-12cm in length. So it can hold a lot of waste. Also, because the intestines and rectum are basically round tubes, resulting in us having a mostly rounded stool (unless we end up with too much water left in the waste, resulting in diarrhea. As you can see, the rectum has nothing to do with breaking down food.

How do you give an enema to a child?

You would insert the tip of the enema bottle in the rectum, and then inject the fluid into them. I would highly recommend that you lubricate the tip with some type of vasoline or KY jelly, as the rectum is very tender and at a young age may be very small. The rate at which you inject is up to your discretion, i prefer to make it quick and painless.. this prevents the fluid from dripping and not making it in.
