Can i use salt water as a bowel stimulant after a laparoscopic hysterectomy?

I would be cautious about using any home mixed saltwater solution in such an effort. Over the counter enema mixes have a balanced content that is less likely to alter your bodies electrolyte balance, which can cause problems.

For constipation -You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948 Wish you good health!
