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 a pediatric gastroenterology department. If it's a general comprehensive hospital, you would usually 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 generally have more specialized divisions. This condition is usually caused by diet or weakened gastrointestinal function, etc. Medication regulation or pediatric acupuncture treatment may be required.
