HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, in old age constipation is common and it may not be due to any disease but this is non pathological condition, encourage her for drinking more water, give her more fiber containing diet, ask her to go for defecation even in absence of feeling of this still she need to go in and sit there without exerting any force no matter if she does not pass any stool, hope this information may helps, tame care and have a nice day.
