Drinking water with salt for constipation is usually ineffective.
Constipation is primarily a symptom of difficult bowel movements and dry, hard stools. Drinking salt water usually does not adversely affect constipation, but it does not provide relief either.
Constipation usually needs to be treated according to the cause of the constipation. Functional constipation can be treated with lactulose and keserol under the guidance of professional physicians; if it is caused by intestinal obstruction, constipation can be caused by the inability of intestinal content to be discharged from the intestinal tract smoothly, and it usually requires adhesion release surgery, intestinal resection, intestinal anastomosis surgery and other treatments.
When constipation occurs, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for relevant examinations to clarify the specific causes of constipation, and then listen to the doctor’s advice to actively carry out the treatment and conditioning, rather than blindly using certain methods of intervention on their own.
