It is best to see a gastroenterologist for constipation because constipation is a common disease treated by gastroenterology.
Constipation is a digestive disease characterized by dry stools that are difficult to pass, decreased frequency of bowel movements, and difficulty in defecation, etc. This disease should generally be treated in the Gastroenterology Department because constipation is a disease of the digestive system and generally does not require surgical intervention, so choosing the Gastroenterology Department is the most appropriate.
Constipation does not usually pose a serious risk within a short period of time, and is a slow-onset digestive disease. Therefore, it is sufficient to register for Gastroenterology at the outpatient clinic, and there is no need to queue up in the emergency department, or in the case of small children, in the pediatrics department.
If the patient is a child, he or she can also go to the pediatrics department. However, it is important to note that whether it is constipation or not should be judged by a physician to avoid confusion with other digestive diseases such as intestinal obstruction.
