Maternal and child health hospital: Constipation of older pregnant women

summary

My sister-in-law is in her thirties this year. According to her, constipation has been bothering her ever since she was pregnant with a baby. She has taken a lot of drugs that are said to be very effective in treating constipation, but there is no useful effect for her. Many people say that eating bananas is good for constipation patients, but even if she eats bananas every day, it still has no effect. I'd like to know what causes constipation, whether there are really effective methods for treating constipation, and not the drugs recommended by advertisements.
