Sugar solutions can be applied, but this tactic was not successful in this case. Gentle pressure can also be attempted. For this patient reduction was achieved with manual pressure into the lumen. Stool softeners and follow up with GI for a scope are recommended to consider a scope for a mass causing a lead point.
