Congenital megacolon is usually not self-healing.
Congenital megacolon is a common congenital malformation, which usually cannot be cured by itself. For patients whose diagnosis has been confirmed and who can tolerate surgery, they should undergo timely surgical treatment to avoid serious consequences such as constipation, colitis, intestinal obstruction, and intestinal perforation.
Congenital megacolon is due to the absence of enteric neurons, resulting in spasticity and narrowing of the affected intestinal canal, peristaltic disorders, unable to discharge intestinal contents, resulting in their accumulation in the intestinal tract, resulting in severe dilatation of the intestinal canal at the proximal end of the lesion, which in turn gradually forms the alteration of the megacolon, and once the diagnosis has been confirmed, surgical treatment should be carried out as soon as possible, and radical surgery and enterostomy are often used in the clinic.
If the patient is diagnosed with congenital megacolon, it is recommended to go to the regular hospital for standardized treatment in a timely manner, and do not delay, so as not to delay the condition.
