Measures to keep stool soft: 1. Plenty of fruits and vegetables 2. Plenty of oral fluids 3-4L/ day 3. Regular exercises 4. Avoiding: oily/ spicy/ non veg food and all kinds of addictions. 5. Maintaining a routined lifestyle (timely meals and fixed time sleep) If above is also not working well, ISABGOL powder 4tsp with Luke warm water/milk at bed time, for 5-10 days.
