Urgent! Urgent! How is congenital megacolon treated in children?

Patient's question:

Patient Age: Two and a half months
Recently diagnosed with congenital infantile megacolon. Is surgical treatment mandatory? Are there any other alternatives? If surgery is performed, are there any potential complications? We are in Nanjing. Could you recommend a hospital for treatment? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to have a barium enema examination at the hospital. If the condition is mild or detected early, conservative treatment can be used. You can often use your fingers to gently open the child's anus or insert some soap pieces into the anus to stimulate bowel movements. It is important to cultivate the habit of regular bowel movements in the child.
