Childhood Constipation – Causes & Myths Dr. Deepak Goyal

"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."
