Decreasing refers to the symptoms of defecation, defecation, defecation, reduced defecation, defecation and so on. For small children, long-term constipation not only leads to physical discomfort, but may also have a range of potential negative effects on their overall health. The potential impact of long-term constipation on the health of children is discussed in detail below.
i. Long constipation affecting nutritional absorption and physical development can lead to excessive length of time in the intestinal tract, resulting in overabsorption of moisture in food residues, which makes excreta dry and difficult to excrete. This not only affects the appetite of the child, but may also cause abdominal pain, abdominal swelling and other symptoms, which may make the child incompatibilities with the diet and thus affect normal nutritional intake. Due to poor nutritional absorption, young children may experience growth retardation in the form of small or obese, which can even affect their mental development in serious cases.
2. In cases of chronic constipation of anal diseases, children need to be overexposed in the defecation process, which may result in mechanical trauma to the skin layer around the anal, creating anal fractures, causing pain and bleeding. In addition, dry and hard faeces can oppress intestinal tracts, affect blood circulation and lead to vein expansion and hemorrhoids. These anal diseases not only cause physical pain to the children, but may also affect their defecation habits and form a vicious circle.
III. Long-term constipation of gastrointestinal neurological disorders can lead to excessive faecal retention in the intestinal tract and the absorption of harmful substances into the intestinal tract, which in turn causes gastrointestinal neurological disorders. Young children may suffer from a lack of appetite, abdominal swelling, aerobics, bitterness and high anal exhaust. These symptoms not only affect the quality of life of children, but may further affect their nutritional absorption and growth.
iv. The formation of faecal ulcers and dungs that are more poached in the intestines over a long period of time can lead to a narrow intestine cavity, and to a pelvis structure that impedes colon expansion. In such cases, the rectum or colon may be pressured to form excreta ulcer. If the ulcer is further developed, it may also cause intestine piercing, which is a serious complication requiring urgent surgical treatment.
v. Inducing cardiovascular diseases, while the risk of cardiovascular disease is relatively low for young children, severe defecation during long constipation can increase abdominal pressure, lead to increased blood pressure and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. While this is rare among children, it still requires sufficient attention from parents.
6. Long-term constipation affecting the functioning of the brain can lead to excessive retention of metabolic products in the digestive tract, with bacterial effects producing large amounts of harmful substances such as methane, phenol, ammonia, etc. Part of these substances may spread into the central nervous system and interfere with brain function. Young children may experience symptoms such as loss of memory, distraction and mental retardation that affect learning and cognitive development.
Long-term constipation that increases the risk of colon cancer may also increase the risk of colon cancer among infants. Although the probability of intestinal cancer among children is extremely low, long-term constipation prevents the release of intestinal carcinogens for long periods of time and increases the likelihood of malformation of intestinal cells. Therefore, parents should give adequate attention and timely intervention to the long-term constipation of children.
The impact of long-term constipation on mental health not only has an impact on the physical health of the child, but may also have a negative impact on his or her mental health. Children may experience emotional problems such as anxiety, irritation and depression due to infirmity and defecation difficulties. These problems may further affect their ability to learn and socialize and even lead to mental illness. The response is directed at the chronic constipation of children, and parents may intervene by: 1. Adapting eating habits: increasing intake of food fibres, such as more cellulose-rich foods such as pumpkins, carrots and sweet potatoes; encouraging children to drink more water and to keep their intestinal humid; and avoiding over-ingestion of high fat and high-heat foods. 2. Development of good defecation habits: regular daily time for children to defecate, gradual establishment of regular defecation habits; avoidance of distractions such as playing or watching television during defecation. 3. Appropriate campaigns: encourage more outdoor activities and promote intestinal creeping; avoid long sitting. 4. Drug treatment: Treatment under the direction of a doctor using intestine-prefective drugs; avoiding the long-term use of assistive defecation tools such as cascading to avoid dependency. 5. Psychological guidance: care for children ‘ s mental health, timely care and encouragement; for children suffering from emotional problems such as anxiety and depression, timely assistance from a professional psychologist should be sought.
In sum, long-term constipation has many potential impacts on the health of the child. Parents should give adequate attention and timely intervention to help young children alleviate their constipation symptoms and promote their physical and mental health by, inter alia, adjusting their eating habits, developing good defecation habits, appropriate sports, medical treatment and psychological guidance.
