Question

A 2-year-old girl often has constipation and recently suddenly cannot urinate. All tests are normal. What could be the possible causes?

Answer

It is recommended that the girl pay attention to a balanced diet, avoid excessive intake of high-protein foods such as eggs, beef, seafood, and eat more vegetables and fruits. She can also consume honey, pear juice, orange juice, tomato juice, and green vegetable juice in moderation to promote gastrointestinal motility. It is suggested that she defecates at least once a day to prevent the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases. If diagnosed with a gastrointestinal disease, actively follow the doctor’s treatment plan and perform appropriate gastrointestinal decompression. At the same time, good hygiene habits should be cultivated, and a reasonable diet should be arranged to avoid eating irritating or cold foods.
