What causes stubborn constipation in children?

Many people will have some constipation. When constipation occurs, they cannot defecate for several days, feel very bloated, and feel stomach pain. Not only adults will have constipation, but some children will also be constipated frequently. Even long-term constipation will cause children to have some anorectal diseases, which is very serious. What is the reason for children's constipation? What should we do?

Constipation is a common symptom of the digestive system. When feces stay in the colon for a long time, water is absorbed, making the feces dry and difficult to excrete. For young children, once constipation occurs, it will be more difficult to solve than for adults. Adults will actively overcome the discomfort caused by constipation and will not refuse to defecate. Instead, they will actively find ways to solve the defecation problem.

This is not the case with babies. The more difficult it is to defecate, the more they refuse to defecate, especially when anal fissures or hemorrhoids occur. Since defecation causes anal pain, babies dare not defecate, forming a vicious cycle. Therefore, it is very important to prevent your baby from becoming constipated.

For babies whose main food source is milk, you can give them some health foods containing ingredients such as honeysuckle, yam, chrysanthemum, and chicken's gizzard lining. Such as Qinghuobao, Qingliangbanli, Qiuligao and so on. For babies who have small appetites and do not like to eat vegetables and whole grains, it is necessary to increase their exercise amount appropriately. Help your baby with abdominal massage to strengthen the mechanical stimulation of the intestines and increase intestinal peristalsis. Encourage your baby to drink plenty of water and develop regular bowel movement habits.

Abnormal parathyroid function, excessive intake of calcium supplements and vitamin AD that promotes calcium absorption, etc. can also cause constipation. Preventing your baby from constipation and taking good care of your baby's butt can also prevent anal diseases. It is best to rinse with clean water after defecation and dry with a paper towel.

Many children suffer from constipation due to careless diet. If you want to fundamentally solve the problem, you should start with daily life. Eating more easily digestible foods, vegetables and fruits can alleviate constipation. You can also drink some honey water in the morning, which can promote intestinal peristalsis.
