Patient's question:
My bowel movements were twice a day a few days ago, but since the day before yesterday until today, I haven't had a bowel movement for three days.Treatment history and effectiveness: I have not been treated.
What kind of help do I want: What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
A two-month-old child has not had a bowel movement for three days, which may be due to weak colon function or a diet primarily based on liquids.Currently, it is recommended that you use medication such as glycerin suppositories to stimulate bowel movements. Additionally, it is suggested that you gently massage the child's abdomen (usually in a clockwise direction, using the palm of your hand to lightly rub the infant's abdomen, with attention focused on the navel as the center, rubbing from left to right in a circular motion). It is generally recommended to massage for 10 times, rest for 5 minutes, then massage for another 10 times, and this process can be repeated 3 times. This can help reduce gastrointestinal motility and emptying function. If necessary, oral medication such as probiotics can also be given to regulate intestinal function.
