What department does infant constipation belong to?

Patient's question:

Constipation. Bowel movement occurs only every 4 to 5 days, and the stool is very hard, requiring manual assistance. This has been going on for over a year.
Past treatment history and effectiveness: Not very effective? How can I achieve regular bowel movements?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this can be checked at the pediatric department. Some children's hospitals also have pediatric gastroenterology departments. If it's a general hospital, you would typically go to the pediatric department for treatment. If you go to a children's hospital, there should be a gastroenterology department, as children's hospitals usually have more specialized divisions. This condition is generally caused by dietary issues or weakened gastrointestinal function, etc. Medication adjustment or pediatric acupuncture treatment may be necessary.
