Laxatives & Stool Softeners
Laxatives and stool softeners are crucial in treating constipation, a condition with infrequent or difficult bowel movements. Laxatives vary in function: bulk-forming types absorb water to add stool bulk, osmotic types draw fluid into intestines to soften stools, stimulant types activate intestinal muscles to increase motility, and lubricant types ease stool passage by coating it. Stool softeners specifically enhance water absorption into stools, making them softer and reducing straining. These treatments are essential for those facing constipation from dietary issues, medication side effects, or post-surgery recovery, promoting overall digestive health and regular bowel function.
