Section: children Constipation stool treatment


Constipation is a common issue in the pediatric population, characterized by infrequent bowel movements, difficult stool evacuation, hard stool, or incomplete defecation. It can be reduced through dietary adjustments and increased water intake, but some cases require medical treatment due to colon absorption or slow muscular activity. Currently, conventional treatment for chronic constipation has limited improvement in patient satisfaction. Homoeopathy, a holistic approach, is considered the most effective treatment for constipation. Homeopathy focuses on treating the person rather than the disease, focusing on the unique complaint picture the patient presents with, rather than the pathologically derived signs and symptoms. This approach acknowledges the uniqueness of each individual and aims to provide a more effective solution for the condition.
