I would not consider it normal to have this happening so often. Your vet may think it's normal because a lot of cats really aren't in the greatest health, so that becomes "normal" to them. Left long-term, this can start causing other problems.
You can actually just increase fibre content and one way that can be done is with plain old Metamucil, though I don't know the dose for a cat, but your vet may know. If she seems bothered a lot by it, you can put something warm on her rear end to help with any pain or swelling.
