Having
constipation while also having hemorrhoids is a nightmare. You already face
inability passing out poop, yet you still have to brace for intense pain as you
strain to get it out. It is close enough to death by a thousand strains. In
those cases, doctors prescribe stool softeners so the patient can pass out
stools faster and experience lesser pain. Doctors have lots of laxatives to
choose from. The most common one prescribed for hemorrhoids-related
constipation is lactulose. Lactulose is composed of undigestible sugars that
swell once it travels down the large intestine, adding bulk to the stool. It is
preferred because it does not alter function of the intestines.
