Are your stools still hard with the magnesium? Are you looking for more pain relief tips, stool softening tips, or both? I'll put a little bit of info on both here. My experience is that I need to take extra mag and or fiber to have loose stools for 3 days or so so the area can heal. I back down the dose once the area isn't hurting anymore. Prevention involves moving the body, hydration, fiber. I have alot of gut issues (parasite, dysbiosis, many ppl have this problem and don't know) which I am working on healing from, so I use these things to keep my bowels moving- digestive bitters, enzymes, psyllium fiber, magnesium, bowel mover, and a bile mover. For pain relief, I do a warm sitz bath- I just sit in my bathtub with shallow water, a lidocaine menthol gel, and calmoseptine which has zinc and is a barrier cream. Also sleep is so important. My hemorrhoids always feel better after a good 9 hours of sleep cuz that's healing time. Message me for more details on all this, I love this topic and I struggle with this too and want to help ppl. š

One suggestion is to sit in warm water using a sitz bath, which can be purchased from stores like Walgreens or CVS. This can help shrink the hemorrhoids. Additionally, avoid straining during bowel movements and stay hydrated. Some people have found relief by applying coconut oil to the affected area. It's important to consult with your doctor for personalized advice and treatment options.
