A member asked:
Would miralax work at all if symptoms of hemmhorhoids were actually cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For MiraLAX : The way that MiraLAX works is to pull fluids into the intestine, soften the stool and allow passage easily. It can be used safely as an adjunct to your diet with high fiber to control constipation. If symptoms persist and you are concerned about other causes, you should see your doctor for a closer evaluation by a gastroenterologist.
