Provides the scientific background and illustrates the clinical features of children with problems of defecation - often dismissed as mild and trivial, but a source of considerable pain and shame for those children who have major problems with their bowels.
Constipation in childhood is often dismissed as a mild and trivial problem. But for those children who have major problems with their bowels, the pain related to defecation, and the shame and despair related to incontinence, cause considerable suffering. Little information is readily available to doctors and nurses about the physiology of problems of defacation or the treatments which are available to help. This book provides the scientific background, and illustrates the clinical features of children with problems of defacation. It also contains a booklet designed to be photocopied and distributed to parents and children to help their understanding of this distressing condition. The book is intended for paediatricians, child psychiatrists, paediatric surgeons, gastro-enterologists, and students thereof, as well as for general practitioners and nurses.
