Patient's question:
My baby had a bowel movement and then didn't poop for two consecutive days. On the third day, the poop was very dry. At first, it was difficult to pass, and she cried for a long time before finally managing to push it out. The stool was off-white in color. The same thing happened on the third day. On the fourth day, she didn't poop at all. Today, it's the same—very dry. She managed to pass a little bit, but there was blood, and two drops of blood dripped from her anus afterward.Hello expert, what should I do in this situation? My family says that using [a certain method] might cause rejection. Is her diet still the same as usual? What kind of assistance do you need: Please help me come up with a treatment plan.
Doctor's answer:
Constipation diet: eating more vegetables and fruits can stimulate intestinal peristalsis. Drinking water, juice, etc., can reduce the hardness of stool. If a child has chronic constipation, consider switching to a new formula. During the food transition period, pay attention to the characteristics of the stool. Additionally, if constipation is caused by a disease, once the primary condition is treated, the constipation can be stabilized. For cases of intestinal obstruction, megacolon, and congenital anal stenosis, surgical intervention may be necessary.Please provide more details about your situation so that I can better understand and offer more guidance.
