Patient's question:
My baby just had a few months, but recently has some constipation, not had a bowel movement for several days. What are the causes of constipation in newborns?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are many reasons for constipation in newborns. Generally, it can be divided into two categories: functional constipation, which can be regulated; and constipation caused by congenital intestinal malformations, which cannot be resolved through general regulation and must be corrected through surgery. Most infant constipation is functional. These conditions are often accompanied by severe vomiting and abdominal distension and require timely diagnosis and treatment. It is recommended to seek medical attention at a good hospital, as all reputable hospitals are excellent. Wishing your baby good health.
