How to rule out giant intestinal congestion in babies

Many people don’t know how to eliminate giant enterocolitis in babies. Most babies' megacolon is congenital. One to two days after birth, the fetus will excrete very little or even no feces, sometimes accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and vomiting. Due to insufficient nutrient absorption, there will be gradual weight loss. If the above symptoms occur, parents should pay attention and go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. Let’s take a closer look at how to eliminate giant intestinal knots in babies.

Children are an important part of the family. Once a child has vomiting, abdominal distension, and difficulty defecation, some friends who have come into contact with or heard of congenital megacolon will worry whether the child has the disease. In fact, you don’t need to be too nervous. Ordinary constipation can also cause difficulty in defecation, which is very similar to congenital megacolon. To rule out the possibility that the baby has Hirschsprung's disease, you should look at the symptoms. If it is constipation, you can use laxatives or external enema to help with bowel movements. Moreover, the symptoms will not last long and bowel movements will return to normal afterwards. Parents and friends can rest assured. If it is congenital megacolon, the symptoms will not stop and continue to worsen, so you should seek medical attention immediately.

In addition, congenital megacolon should be distinguished from peritonitis. If the child is constipated and vomiting, it may be caused by sepsis. The child can go to the hospital for an X-ray. If the distinction cannot be clearly made, a barium enema can be done to confirm the diagnosis.

There are many diseases with similar symptoms to Hirschsprung's disease, and we should rule them out. See if the child has Hirschsprung's disease. If a child has vomiting and abdominal distension, it may also be congenital intestinal malrotation. At this time, the child's stool is normal and he goes to the hospital for a barium enema. If the doctor finds a problem with the right colon, such as the colon is in the wrong position, and excludes congenital megacolon, it may be congenital intestinal malrotation.

There are many ways to rule out Hirschsprung's disease, but the most scientific way is to seek medical attention promptly when symptoms appear and never take it lightly.
