Five-year-old girl has diarrhea and doesn't know how to treat it.

Patient's question:

About two years later, I didn't know what the reason was! Maybe it was shy! Don't say! Wait until I took off my pants before I said!

Doctor's answer:

It's best to ask clearly if it's because of constipation causing too much pain during bowel movements, so they don't want to talk about it. Or it could also be due to weather reasons. We usually talk about bowel movements, but sometimes in the summer, when the weather is bad, things like wetting the pants can happen. But these situations haven't occurred recently. If this happens, don't blame the child too much—there might be stress involved. Just change them promptly and don't mention it. Children have strong egos and a strong sense of rebellion now. If you tell them not to, they might just do it more. It could also be that they want to get your attention.
