#childhoodconstipation

[mothersconnect]

Childhood constipation is a common problem. Constipation can be defined as:

• More than three days between bowel movements • Stools that are large, hard, and painful to pass • Incomplete bowel movements and stool backs up in the bowel despite daily bowel movements

Usually, constipation is not serious. However, chronic constipation can mean underlying symptoms. Take your child to a gastroenterologist if the symptoms last more than two weeks.
