A 5-year-old girl has constipation. How should it be treated? What dietary precautions should be taken?

Patient's question:

Constipation, difficult.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, as you mentioned, for general constipation patients, a well-balanced diet and developing a regular bowel movement habit can effectively alleviate constipation. For stubborn constipation or constipation caused by certain diseases, it is important to seek medical treatment early and avoid taking laxatives for a long period. Long-term use of laxatives not only causes congestion and expansion of rectal blood vessels but may also lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction and the development of drug resistance.
