Understanding Chronic Constipation in Children

To understand how chronic constipation develops, it's essential to understand how the gastrointestinal tract works. When a person begins to eat, the stomach sends signals to the colon to prepare for the evacuation of stool. This phenomenon is called the gastro-colic reflex. These signals take around 30 minutes to an hour to take full effect, which is why many people feel the need to go to the toilet shortly after finishing a meal. As food leaves the stomach, it is digested in the intestines and eventually accumulates in the rectum as fecal matter. The rectum sends a signal to the brain that it's time to find a toilet, but an involuntary muscle holds back the waste until the person voluntarily relaxes the muscles in the anus to allow the stool to pass.

While this may sound simple, the muscles must coordinate and receive the right "instructions" to keep the system working. These muscles don't start working together until the age of 3 or 4, precisely when most parents and children begin toilet training.

What are the symptoms of chronic constipation?

Symptoms of regular constipation include:

• Less than 3 bowel movements per week
• Excessive straining
• Hard stools
• Incomplete evacuation
• Inability to pass stool

Chronic constipation occurs when these difficulties persist for several weeks or months. Children with chronic constipation complain of pain during defecation, and feel that their intestines are obstructed or that they are unable to empty their bowels completely.

What causes chronic constipation?

Chronic constipation can be caused by many factors, but one common trigger is when the child decides to withhold bowel movements. Children may do this for a variety of reasons, from a preference for diapers to a reluctance to interrupt play, to the simple discomfort of using a toilet outside their home.

If a child continues to ignore his body's signals to have a bowel movement, his stools become hard, and the rectum fills with fecal matter and expands. This has two consequences. Hard stools are painful to expel, and the child becomes increasingly reluctant to go to the bathroom, creating a vicious circle. Over time, as the rectum dilates, the child will no longer feel the need to have a bowel movement. Stools may accumulate until the child is no longer able to hold them, leading to overflow incontinence, with leaks or accidents.

Children with behavioral problems such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or developmental delays such as autism may be at risk of developing chronic constipation. In addition, a diet low in fluids or fiber can aggravate chronic constipation.

It's important to recognize the signs of chronic constipation in children and act quickly to avoid future complications. If concerns persist, consult a healthcare professional for advice tailored to your child's situation.
