X-Rays & Constipation

Service Description

Severe constipation is often missed in children with enuresis because standard diagnostic methods are unreliable. X-rays offer vital clarity and are powerful tools for guiding treatment—yet they’re underused and frequently misread. Dr. Hodges explains why he x-rays his enuresis patients and why radiologists often mistake serious stool buildup for “moderate” constipation. He shows you how to distinguish a normal rectum from one that’s full and dilated from one that’s severely impacted. Learn when imaging is essential, when to repeat it, and how x-rays compare to ultrasounds and CT scans. WHAT YOU'LL GAIN: The confidence to advocate for x-rays—and the skill to recognize significant constipation on imaging.
