Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Her main concern would be constipation and underlying cause of this needs to be found out till then encourage her for drinking water, give fiber-containing diet, and stool softener can be tried. Great care needs to be taken for diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Akhtarhusain
