The suitable frequency of bowel movements in children should fall within the range of three times a day to once every three days. If excretion occurs less frequently and necessitates substantial effort, it is a case of constipation. This can be induced by diverse factors [1].

Verhärtung des Stuhls bei Säuglingen

Säuglinge, die ausschließlich gestillt werden, leiden seltener an Verstopfung. Häufiger sind sie bei Kindern, die modifizierte Milch erhalten und auch nach der Einführung von Ergänzungsnahrung in ihre Ernährung weiter gestillt werden [3]. Die Ursachen der Verstopfung bei Säuglingen sind vielfältig. Wenn ein Neugeborenes einen oder zwei Tage lang keinen Stuhlgang hat, deutet dies in der Regel auf angeborene Fehlbildungen hin, wie z.B. Mukoviszidose oder angeborene Fehlbildungen des Darms. In diesen Fällen ist eine chirurgische Behandlung erforderlich. Bei älteren Kindern kann ein plötzliches Aufhören des Stuhlgangs auf das Vorhandensein verschiedener chronischer Krankheiten hinweisen. Die häufigste Ursache für Verstopfung ist jedoch funktioneller Natur, und zu den häufigsten Ursachen dieses Typs gehören: Ernährungsfehler, wie z.B. unzureichende Flüssigkeitsaufnahme, unzureichende Ballaststoffzufuhr oder kalorienarme Diät; Zurückhalten des Stuhlgangs durch Kinder, was häufig in einer neuen Umgebung, z.B. im Kindergarten, auftritt; Krankheiten, wie z.B. zerebrale Kinderlähmung, Schilddrüsenunterfunktion, Vitamin-D-Vergiftung oder Reizdarmsyndrom [1].

Diagnose und Behandlung von Verhärtungen des Stuhls bei Säuglingen

Zunächst muss man organische Ursachen für die Verhärtung des Stuhls ausschließen, die eine kausale Therapie erfordern. Wenn der Stuhl hart ist und seltener als einmal täglich auftritt, sollte ein Arzt aufgesucht werden. Bei künstlich ernährten Säuglingen empfiehlt sich die Verwendung von Milchmischungen mit Pro- oder Präbiotika wie Galaktooligosacchariden und Fruktooligosacchariden, die die Besiedlung des Darms mit gesundheitsfördernden Bakterienstämmen unterstützen. Wichtige Bestandteile der Behandlung von Verstopfung bei Säuglingen sind eine ausgewogene Ernährung, ausreichende Flüssigkeitszufuhr, Gymnastikübungen und die Massage des Bauches. Verstopfung bei Säuglingen ist ein häufiges Phänomen, daher ist es ratsam, bei anhaltenden Problemen mit dem Stuhlgang einen Kinderarzt zu konsultieren.
