What type of laxative would be the first choice for a client diagnosed with hemorrhoids experiencing intense pain when straining
irina [24]
<span>Having constipation while also having hemorrhoids is a nightmare. You already face inability passing out poop, yet you still have to brace for intense pain as you strain to get it out. It is close enough to death by a thousand strains. In those cases, doctors prescribe stool softeners so the patient can pass out stools faster and experience lesser pain. Doctors have lots of laxatives to choose from. The most common one prescribed for hemorrhoids-related constipation is lactulose. Lactulose is composed of undigestible sugars that swell once it travels down the large intestine, adding bulk to the stool. It is preferred because it does not alter function of the intestines.</span>
