The combination of acute and chronic constipation accounts for nearly half of all cases of abdominal pain in children, reports a study by the University of Iowa, Iowa City, suggesting that physicians should do a simple rectal examination for constipation when trying to determine the cause of abdominal pain in youngsters. Earlier research has shown that constipation can contribute to abdominal pain, but no specific recommendations for diagnosing this contributing factor were made, points out Vera Loening-Baucke, professor of pediatrics.
