Abstract

Constipation is extremely common in the pediatric population; however, it is a symptom and not a disease. Organic causes of constipation include Hirschprung's disease, anorectal malformation, and spina bifida. This article also discusses constipation and urinary tract pathology and dysfunction. The function of the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts are intertwined, and this concept will assist the practitioner in managing patients accordingly. Children and adolescents who experience bowel dysfunction require patience and sensitive support from their health care providers so that they can live productive and emotionally healthy lives.

摘要

便秘在儿科人群中极为常见；然而，它是一种症状而非疾病。便秘的器质性病因包括先天性巨结肠、肛门直肠畸形和脊柱裂。本文还讨论了便秘与泌尿系统病理及功能障碍。胃肠道和泌尿系统的功能相互交织，这一概念将有助于从业者对患者进行相应的管理。经历肠道功能障碍的儿童和青少年需要医护人员的耐心和贴心支持，以便他们能够过上充实且心理健康的生活。
