Patient's question:
What is the reason for frequent large amounts of feces on a 10-year-old child's underwear?Doctor's answer:
First, you can ask the child if it's because they didn't defecate in time, or if it's simply unconscious, causing feces in their underwear. It is recommended that if the child cannot express it themselves, you can specifically train them to develop a habit of regular bowel and bladder movements. If it's not due to unlimited possibilities, it's more likely that there is a possibility of poor anal sphincter function. Dry stools can cause the anal canal to rupture, which requires early surgical treatment.
