Diarrhea and Constipation Monitoring in Children

What is Diarrhea and Constipation Monitoring?

Diarrhea and constipation follow-up is a regular follow-up process to monitor digestive system disorders in children, identify the causes of these conditions and manage them effectively. This process supports the healthy functioning of children’s digestive system and helps prevent possible complications.

How to Monitor Diarrhea and Constipation?

As Metropol Health Group, we carefully monitor children’s digestive health:

• Detailed Evaluation: The child’s digestive complaints, eating habits and health history are evaluated.
• Diagnostic Methods: Advanced diagnostic methods such as blood and stool tests, ultrasonography or endoscopy are used when necessary.
• Individualized Treatment Plans: Special treatment programs are created according to the child’s age, general health status and the severity of the digestive problem.
