Stool softeners are used on a short-term basis to relieve constipation by people who should avoid straining during bowel movements because of heart conditions, hemorrhoids, and other problems. They soften stools, making them easier to pass.
Stool softeners help by adding moisture to the stool, allowing for easier passage through the bowel. Stool softeners come in liquid or pill form, and usually contain docusate. They do not actually increase or stimulate bowel movements.
