Dear Mam
Welcome to XXXXXXX
Tramadol and Lortab , both causes constipation , and it is better to treat it , to avoid piles and rectal prolapse.
Following Things can be done to help from constipation due to these medications :
1. Ispaghula powder ( Like Softovac SF which contains Ispaghula and other stool softeners)
