I. Constipation – habitual constipation Constipation is mostly habitual constipation, as the name suggests is usually not a disease, but a habit, bad bowel habits. The child’s interval between each bowel movement is greater than two days, the stool is dry and hard, life is normal, and there are no abnormal findings in the anus and abdomen. But once the habit exists for a long time will cause complications, this is when the habit leads to disease, such as causing anal fissures, secondary megacolon, etc. Second, the symptoms 1, most have no obvious conscious symptoms, occasionally bloating, abdominal pain, defecation can be relieved or partially relieved; defecation difficulties, painful defecation, occasionally there will be a small amount of bleeding. 2, special symptoms: Occasionally children with frequent stools or even diarrhea, children with severe constipation occasionally manifest, due to the formation of fecal stones above its dilute stool bypassing the fecal stone discharge caused, and mask the symptoms. 3, stool traits: normal stool different age stool traits vary, older children should be yellow soft strips. Three days stool can be up to 2cm in diameter, brown, showing sticky hard straight stick; seven days stool can be up to 3cm in diameter, brown, showing black hard ball. The longer it grows, the harder the stool, and even the formation of fecal stones. Third, treatment 1, the principle: restore bowel habits and stool traits; adjust poor dietary habits, to help improve bowel traits; short-term medication for the purpose of restoring habits, should not be long-term. 2. Methods: Defecation habit training, regular defecation habits, and dietary adjustment to improve defecation. (1) Regular defecation to form a habit: regular daily defecation, first defecate on their own, those who can defecate on their own and then use a corked laxative after defecation to confirm clean defecation.
