What should I do if the baby does not defecate actively?

Patient's question:

The baby has been four months old since birth and has not been actively defecating. B and contrast examinations have all said that there is no problem with the intestines. The baby has a hernia. Every time soap or medication is used to help defecate, the baby will cry. Consult a local doctor about what the possible situation could be?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! The baby is now four months old and has been choking. They are not actively passing stools, which has led to constipation. There were no issues found in the ultrasound and angiography of the intestines. The child is reluctant to use force to defecate, believing it is related to hernia. When the abdomen is forced, it worsens the hernia symptoms and causes abdominal pain. The child exhibits prolonged reflexes and does not exert force. Prolonged constipation can impair intestinal function. You can visit a doctor to check if it is possible to receive prompt treatment for the phlegm and alleviate the underlying cause.
