My wife is extremely constipated and in pain as a result of eating prickly pears what are we to do?

Doctor can evaluate: Her doctor can examine and help. Constipation is one of those things that a person cannot let go on for more than a few days, because the food she eats forms poop, and where would the poop go? There is no way to relieve constipation except to get the poop out. There are many ways to do that, depending on the condition of the poop, the patient, and the plans of her doctor.
