Patient's question:
Description of the problem: My daughter had three bowel movements within 24 hours after birth, and for the next ten days, her bowel movements were normal. After that, it became once every seven or eight days, and then once every half month. However, all of her bowel movements were soft stools, and she didn't seem to be in pain when she was having them. Could it be Hirschsprung's disease?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you: Never let your child have a bowel movement every ten days, and most cases of megacolon are common in boys. So, don't worry about megacolon. It is recommended to use a soap stick to stimulate the baby's anus daily to encourage bowel movements. Wishing you a pleasant mood. Don't worry; when constipated, you can apply a warm towel to the navel. It is advised to visit a professional hospital for examination and follow the medication recommendations based on lifelong advice.
