HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible if a fistula has developed. Fistulas are passages that can develop between two hollow organs, in this case, part of the intestines and part of the urinary tract.
These types can cause urine to exit via the anal canal and/or stool via the urethra.
It would be best for her to be seen by her doctor so that she can be assessed.
She would likely need to see an urologist or general surgeon.
Imaging may be needed.
I hope this helps
