Constipation in Kids
Manage episode 508004547 series 1529001
Constipation is one of the most common conditions that pediatricians see. From the toddler squirming on the exam table to the school-aged child with recurring belly pain, functional constipation is everywhere in pediatric primary care. In this episode, we will discuss how to diagnose, when additional testing is needed and treatment strategies that work.
Joining us for this episode is Christine Waasdorp-Hurtado, MD. She is a pediatric gastroenterologist, the Southern Colorado Executive Faculty Director for the Department of Pediatrics, and a professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
Some highlights from this episode include:
- Identifying the signs of functional constipation
- Steps primary care physicians can take with families before referral
- How advice changes depending on the child’s age
- Why managing constipation improves more than just a kid’s bowel movements
