Constipation Problems
Constipation problems are common in children, both boys and girls. Sometimes there is a medical cause, such as Hirschsprung disease, but the cause is usually psychological or pedagogic. There is for instance a wrong diet or a strict toilet training. Also children often forget to go to the toilet, they find it dirty or they associate it with pain, so they just exacerbate the problem. Sometimes even the strict rules at school. Children should only go to the toilet when it breaks and then they do not. Many parents find that their child late suffer from constipation, such as sweeping the child has in the pants, poop complains of abdominal pain or lose.
The treatment of constipation in children is often a lengthy affair. After five years intensively treating 40 percent still have symptoms. The rectum touched by the accumulation of droppings often very stretched and it may take years before it returns to normal. By stretching the children feel little or no urgency and chance of relapse is high.
