Questions
Newborns diagnosed with congenital megacolon ask whether surgery is necessary for treatment, or if there are other treatment options. If surgery is required, will there be any complications? Parents seek medical advice and hospital recommendations.
Answers
Medical professionals suggest undergoing a barium enema examination to assess the severity and stage of the condition. If the condition is mild or detected early, conservative treatment can be considered, including regular anal dilation or using soap to stimulate bowel movements. Additionally, establishing good bowel habits is also important. For digestive system diseases, early diagnosis and treatment, combined with gastrointestinal decompression and good hygiene practices, are key. Parents should avoid allowing their children to develop picky eating habits and maintain a balanced diet.
