CONSTIPATION IN CHILDREN Meaning

Constipation in children refers to the time delay or difficulty in passing stool, which is present for two or more weeks. More than the child, it causes distress to parents and caregivers as parents may fear it to be a sign of any serious medical problem.¹

Ayurveda explains the symptoms of constipation in infants/children as ‘Malavrodha’ (obstruction of stool). Additionally, synonyms such as Vibhandha, Vitgraha, Kabja (Kabz), Anaha and Koshtabadhata are used interchangeably.³
