Question
A child with congenital megacolon is asking about treatment methods, including whether surgery is necessary and the potential post-operative complications. The child is two months old and has recently been diagnosed with congenital pediatric megacolon, and is inquiring about alternative treatment methods.
Answer
It is recommended that the patient bring the child to the hospital for a barium enema examination. If the condition is mild or detected early, conservative treatment can be considered, including regular manual dilation of the anus or using soap blocks to stimulate defecation, in order to help the child develop a regular bowel habit.
