“…Other epidemiological studies have shown no differences in prevalence of constipation between boys and girls, in contrast to the adult literature in which the prevalence was found to be higher in women. 13,16,17 Furthermore, a systematic review concluded that female gender is a risk factor for constipation, in which women had the condition 3 times more than men. 18 Nutritional status in the selenium and placebo groups were as follows: 73.7% vs. 78.9% normoweight, respectively; 17.5% vs. 14% overweight, respectively; and 7% vs. 3.5% obese, respectively.…”

Overactive bladder in children is a bothersome and prevalent disorder that presents with a variety of different symptoms, ranging from irritative voiding symptoms such as frequency and urgency to urinary incontinence and/or nocturnal enuresis. In almost all cases of overactive bladder in neurologically intact children, the root cause has been linked to dysfunctional elimination syndrome. Although a great deal of progress has been made in the diagnosis and treatment of dysfunctional elimination, and previous harmful therapies have been for the most part abandoned, several unanswered questions remain regarding this disorder, which are partly due to a wide spectrum of presenting disorders and the difficulty of performing complex urodynamic evaluations in small children. In this review, we seek to address some of these uncertainties, such as the causes of pediatric overactive bladder, how it can be prevented, and how it can be most efficaciously treated.

“…Los factores genéticos podrían tener un rol en pacientes con constipación que se inicia en los primeros meses de vida, y en aquellos con historia familiar de constipación. Hay numerosos síndromes asociados con constipación debido a mutaciones en los genes que afectan los sistemas necesarios para una defecación normal 10 . Se ha descrito un retraso del tránsito colónico en un subgrupo de niños con constipación secundaria a enfermedades crónicas.…”

Infant constipation is a common problem in pediatric practice and it constitutes approximately 25% of children's gastroenterologist consultations. An average prevalence of 8.9% in the pediatric population is described, but it varies as it is influenced by different dietary habits and definitions used in the studied populations. 90 to 95% of the cases have a functional cause, where the most important therapeutic measures are: Education to children and their parents, forming a stool pattern, a diet rich in fiber and the use of drugs for disimpaction treatment and maintenance. Finally, it is important to explain to parents that the treatment is usually long, due to frequent relapses. It is described that 25% of affected children will continue with symptoms into adulthood.
