Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER. I am glad you reached out to our community.

You have two issues that need the attention of your primary care physician.

Have you tried laxatives and stool softeners to help with the opioid induced constipation?

When laxatives and stool softeners aren't enough, your doctor may prescribe a medication that’s made for people who have constipation because of opioids. These medications work by blocking the effects that the drugs have on your gut.

You may have an inguinal hernia. This could be linked to chronic constipation straining to have a bowel movement.

Regards,
Maryann
