Any suggestions?? And do thong underwear irritate it more?

Use a stool softener like colace and ditch the thong.

Try to increase your fiber intake with a supplement with Metamucil. Don't sit on the toilet reading your magazines. Get it done and fast!
P.S. I see that people are recommending Colace. They're not professionals and therefore don't know that long-term Colace is not appropriate for one's body. If you need to take them only do so for 7-10 days. Then try to increase your fiber. Colace makes you lose your capability to push out the stool. Remember don't use them long-term!

get some sodium docusate from your drug store, it pulls water into the gut thereby making your stools softer and less irritating to your hemmorhoids. And yes, thongs will and do irritate external hemmorhoids.
