Patient's question:
My baby is two months old. The first time, they didn't poop for nine days and used a glycerin suppository. This time, they haven't pooped for another ten days, and the doctor suspected megacolon and used it again. They pooped a lot after using it. During the time they didn't poop, their stomach wasn't bloated, they passed gas, and they could eat.Doctor's answer:
I'm happy to explain your question. Many children experience constipation or infrequent bowel movements when they are young. ① As long as the child does not have abdominal distension, because the intestinal function is not fully developed, using glycerin suppositories can help them pass stools. You can focus on using this method, or use lactulose, as long as the child can pass stools. ② If the condition does not improve after using it, you should consider congenital megacolon. Therefore, further careful examination and treatment are necessary.
