Get an exam: To be certain there are no worrisome things such as anal warts or evidence of possible inflammatory bowel disease you should be checked. Assuming that isn't the case then you will feel better if you increase dietary fiber, increase water intake, use the restroom when you need to (don't wait or ignore the urge when it comes), try using a stool softener like colace (docusate sodium) every day at bedtime. Don't strain
