Can constipation in infants be diagnosed with only anorectal examination and without enema examination?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said my spirits aren't good, affecting my work performance. Actually, I don't want to, either. I always can't sleep at night, sometimes feeling anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets serious, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. May I ask if constipation in infants can only be checked with anorectal dilation instead of enema examination?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be due to deficiency of fluids in the intestines and dryness of the colon, resulting in loss of fluid, lack of moisture in the intestines, impaired function of peristalsis, and a syndrome primarily characterized by dry and hard stools, difficulty in defecation, and symptoms of fluid deficiency. It is also known as the syndrome of deficiency of fluids in the large intestine. Excessive internal heat in the intestines can be treated with Bian Nai Tong Cha.
