| Core Tip |
Functional constipation is the most common gastrointestinal disorder in children, affecting 14.4% globally. Effective management requires a multifaceted approach involving child-oriented toilet training and the use of osmotic laxatives, particularly polyethylene glycol. Emerging therapies such as probiotics and serotonin 5-HT4 receptor agonists show promise but need further research. Lifestyle modifications, including adequate fiber and fluid intake and physiotherapy, support treatment. For intractable cases, a multidisciplinary approach involving pediatric specialists, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and psychologists is essential to address both physical and psychological aspects, thereby improving the quality of life for affected children and their families. |
