Brief Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX need not worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for the query.
I understand your concern.

Well going to pass stools once in 3 or 4 days is significant constipation. What has she tried till now? If you have done any tests please upload the reports for my view.
Worthwhile getting a thyroid function test once and stool occult blood for 3 days to rule out other causes like thyroid dysfunction etc.

Need to do following things:
Drink lots of water.
Have high fiber diet, prunes
Regular brisk walk is important
Also in addition can take fiber supplement like lactifiber available over the counter 2 tsp at night and see how she feels.

If blood or stool reports are abnormal or symptoms persist worthwhile seeing a gastroenterologist.
Hope this answers your query.
Best wishes.
Happy to help.
