To some people, yes, they'd never want to talk about body malfunctions like constipation.
One thing anyone can do is to drink a lot water, and prepare to use fingers if nothing else works.
Get a jar of vaseline ready, and a roll of toilet paper. Once the driest, hardest part is out, the rest is easier. It is gross but works.
Eat sauerkraut soup and swedish yogurt, hydrate, hydrate... and pull out the vaseline when there's too much difficulty pooping.
Pregnancy was the time I learned to deal with constipation by drinking 1000ml water each day. It always works. Sometimes travel and change of diet causes temporary constipation I use vaseline to help. In a couple of days it goes back to normal.
Hard to tell people to solve such problem with own fingers though.
