Chaps in A&E turning up for medical treatment (5)

I believe the answer is:

enema

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'medical treatment' is the definition.
'enema' can be an answer for 'treatment' (enema is a kind of treatment). I'm not sure about the 'medical' bit.

'chaps in ae turning up' is the wordplay.
'chaps' becomes 'men' (chap means a man).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'turning up' is a reversal indicator.
'men' placed into 'ae' is 'amene'.
'amene' written backwards gives 'ENEMA'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enema that I've seen before include "The bottom line in medical treatment?" , "Procedure for vacating the bowels" , "Stern action from nurse perhaps" , "Medical liquid introduced anally" , "Fluid injected rectally" .)
