Avoid stool softeners, they expensive and they don't work, your body adapts to them making them useless. The best stool softener is liquids, drink as many liquids as you can, water, juice, whatever your favourite liquid is. It takes your body a while to acclimatize to the liquids so don't expect a miracle overnight, just keep drinking liquids every day and you will notice the difference over time.
