Hi,
Which stool softener you are using? Is there any improvement after using stool softener? Eat high fiber diet and do regular exercise. Drink plenty of water.
Avoid spicy food and alcohol. Use Metamucil or Benefiber for bulk formation of stools. If symptoms do not improve, please consult your doctor who will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
