How to make it easy for a baby with anterior anal fissure to defecate

Patient's question:

The baby is experiencing severe difficulty in defecating due to congenital anal stenosis and anterior rectal prolapse. Due to other medical conditions, surgery is required to wait for the body to fully recover, which will take about a month. However, defecation is extremely painful.
Previous Treatment and Effects:
Using glycerin suppositories was ineffective. It is very difficult for the baby to pass stool when the rectum is prolapsed, unless she has diarrhea.
Help Needed:
How can the baby defecate more comfortably? If the stool is loose, she won’t feel pain, but how can we make her stool resemble diarrhea without harming her body?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, the deformity of your child is quite common, which may be caused by abnormal growth and development during the embryonic period. It is recommended to visit the colorectal department of the hospital for a check-up, which will help the doctor make a definitive diagnosis. Surgical treatment may be necessary if needed. Please pay attention to your child's care. If using glycerin suppositories no longer works, you may consider using enemas.
