Patient's question:
A three-year-old child has been frequently soiling their pants over the past 20 days, with normal, non-liquid stools, and they defecate once or twice a day in their pants. They do not squat to defecate on their own, but when prompted, they cannot defecate. Occasionally, they can produce some stool when squatting on their own. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Your child's situation is due to her poor self-control, and if it persists, it can become a habit. As long as she has the urge to defecate, she cannot control it, similar to bedwetting. Pediatric health issues have always troubled parents. When treating this condition, consider general treatment. Only by using the correct methods can parents help children recover from the disease quickly, avoiding any impact on their growth and development. Therefore, it is essential for parents to assist children in curing their illnesses as soon as possible after they occur.
