Infant dyschezia refers to the discomfort an infant experiences when bearing down against a closed anal sphincter, and is often misidentified as constipation by parents. As long as red flags are absent, this functional, self-limited condition is easily diagnosed using the Rome IV Criteria. In this episode, you will learn how to reassure parents and what contraindicated treatments should be discussed.
