Patient's question:
For more than four months, the baby's left colon is tortuous and elongated, with slight expansion of the transverse colon. Since the full moon, the baby has been having bowel movements every four or five days, and each time it is very difficult. This has lasted for over three months. I don't quite understand these results from the examination. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you mentioned that the baby's condition is colon elongation caused by constipation. This can be initially treated conservatively. Generally, you can try some Lactobacillus acidophilus, probiotics, Baohe Pill, and Sìmótāng to see how the baby responds. Usually, you should massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction. If the constipation is severe, you should first use glycerin suppositories to observe the baby's condition. If conservative treatment is not effective for a long time, and it is effective, surgery can be considered.
