Patient's question:
Dear Expert:My neighbor has a 5.5-year-old child who frequently soils their pants (unconsciously). It's more severe in cold weather (sometimes 4-6 times a day), and it's not diarrhea, nor is the stool runny.
I hope the expert can provide guidance! Thank you!
First follow-up question: No other abnormalities were found! It's not due to nervousness.
Doctor's answer:
Hello. A child at the age of five should theoretically be able to control their bowel and bladder functions. If they cannot control their bowel movements or urination, and if there are issues with their intelligence or behavior, it is best to visit a neurology department for medical attention. Pay attention to the child's condition and observe if there are any other symptoms. Seek medical attention promptly to avoid delaying the treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery. I hope this helps you.
