What is the reason why a newborn does not defecate or urinate?

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. Could you please explain what could cause a newborn not to defecate or urinate?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be due to deficiency of fluids in the intestines and dryness of the large intestine, resulting in loss of fluid, lack of moisture in the intestines, impaired peristalsis, and symptoms primarily manifested as dry and hard stools, difficulty defecating, and signs of fluid deficiency. It is also known as the syndrome of fluid deficiency in the large intestine. Excessive internal heat in the intestines can be treated with Bian Nai Tong Cha.
Hello, it is normal for an infant to have 2-3 bowel movements a day. Based on your description, the child's loose stools with foam may indicate intestinal inflammation or indigestion. It is recommended to take Mamiaoi and Smecta for symptomatic treatment, and pay attention to keeping warm. If necessary, a routine stool examination can be performed to confirm the diagnosis and facilitate treatment.
