      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Control group: Control group: The basic treatment including diet training, defecation training and polyethylene glycol syrup was used. In this way, 0.7 g/kg of polyethylene glycol syrup was given daily. Beside that, toilet training and diet were also done by a pediatrician. Intervention 2: Intervention group: Intervention group: in addition to 0.7gr / kg daily PEG syrup and toilet training and proper diet training, Kegel exercises were also taught to the child by a pediatric specialist in the presence of their parents, verbally as well as written form.</i_freetext>
