Question
Why do children often have difficulty passing stools and experience constipation?
Answer
Congenital intestinal malformations in children cannot be cured simply with general nutrition. Indigestion is also a common cause of constipation in infants, or it could be due to parents not being able to cultivate proper bowel habits for their children, which can lead to involuntary defecation and consequently, constipation. In addition, many congenital intestinal diseases such as congenital megacolon and anal fissures, anal stenosis, etc., can also cause constipation. Children’s gastrointestinal function has not fully grown and developed.
