Which part can be pressed to treat constipation

People who have never suffered from constipation will not understand how painful it is. Especially when children are constipated, not only are the children extremely uncomfortable, but the parents are also helpless. Adjusting your diet usually takes a long time to take effect. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine massage to relieve constipation. So which part can be pressed to treat constipation? Let us give you a detailed introduction below.

Parents take their children's diarrhea very seriously. Generally, children will seek medical attention if diarrhea does not last more than 2 days. However, constipation is often ignored, and it is believed that it has no impact. The child is not in pain and has no obvious discomfort. However, long-term constipation is more harmful than diarrhea.

Constipation not only causes toxic substances to remain in the body for a long time, damaging the liver and kidneys, but also affects the growth and development of children, leading to obesity, fatty liver and other diseases. The most serious thing is that long-term constipation will affect children's intellectual development. Children who suffer from long-term constipation have difficulty concentrating, lack patience, are sleepy, cry easily, are slow to react to changes in the outside world, are not talkative, do not like to make friends, and are "dull".

Although constipation is not a serious disease, it can cause serious harm.
