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

Patient's question:

Patient Age: Two and a half months
Recently diagnosed with congenital infantile megacolon. Is surgical treatment necessary? Are there other options? If surgery is performed, are there any sequelae? 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 small bars of soap into the anus to stimulate bowel movements. It is important to cultivate the habit of regular bowel movements in the child.
