Stool softener: Hemorrhoid problems are usually treated by local applications of warm water and use of anal ointments like anusol. In addition it's advisable to take daily stool softeners and use rectal glycerin suppositories if bowel movements are difficult. Laxatives are not first line therapy unless your bowels are extremely bound up. If necessary see a proctologist for Further help.
