HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the abdomen complaint that you have may not be due to any stent, but this could be due to some colicky pain or may be likely due the procedure that you had gone through, taking laxative without any valid reason may harm the GI system, hope this information may helps you, take care and have a nice day.
