Can i use 0.9% sodium chloride as an anal ennema?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure but ..: water woks just as well.. Saline probably wouldn't hurt but don't abuse it. You can still absorb things thru your colon. IF you are having problems with your bowels ensure you are taking enough fiber in your diet and drinking enough fluids. If still having issues see you MD
