Idiopathic constipation in childhood is a problem that can cause a myriad of difficulties to both the child or young person and their family. There are a number of precipitating factors that may result in painful or infrequent bowel movements and/or soiling. Empowering children and young people together with their parents and carers forms one part of the treatment plan, but it is the adequate and effective use of laxative therapy alongside diet and lifestyle modifications and appropriate advice and support that can best help children to overcome this poorly understood condition. Professionals need to demystify how the bowel works and help children and young people to overcome their embarrassment in seeking help for this common childhood condition. The new NICE guideline will help all practitioners in recognising their role in helping children, young people and their families.
儿童特发性便秘是一个会给儿童或青少年及其家庭带来诸多困难的问题。有许多诱发因素可能导致排便疼痛或不频繁以及/或者大便失禁。让儿童和青少年及其父母和照顾者掌握相关知识是治疗计划的一部分，但充分且有效地使用泻药疗法，同时配合饮食和生活方式的调整以及适当的建议和支持，才能最好地帮助儿童克服这种了解甚少的病症。专业人员需要揭开肠道工作原理的神秘面纱，帮助儿童和青少年克服因寻求治疗这种常见儿童病症而产生的尴尬。新的英国国家卫生与临床优化研究所（NICE）指南将帮助所有从业者认识到他们在帮助儿童、青少年及其家庭方面的作用。
