Constipation is very common in childhood, and 90 % of the time, it is functional, meaning no disease is responsible for it, and it can be managed with diet, medications, etc.
But 5 to 10 % may have other medical or surgical causes for it...Like Thyroid related problems, Coeliac disease, Hirschprung disease, etc...
This family from Rajasthan had suffered for 4 years, more than 10 files, and more than 30 consultations for Constipation turned out to be a Hirschprung disease on rectal biopsy.
Get checked if your child has notorious Constipation.
