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.
There are also many over the counter stool softeners, fiber supplements, and pro-motility agents which can help with the management of constipation. Constipation can rarely be due to postoperative changes, electrolyte abnormalities, thyroid dysfunction, and obstruction with a mass or foreign object.
