Description:

Colace (docusate sodium) is a stool softener often used to help manage hemorrhoids by making bowel movements easier and less painful. It works by increasing the amount of water in the stool, which helps reduce straining—a key factor in worsening hemorrhoids. While it doesn't treat the hemorrhoids directly, it can support healing and prevent irritation. Colace is best used short-term, alongside a high-fiber diet and adequate hydration. Persistent symptoms should be evaluated by a healthcare provider.
