Patient's question:
My child was born in 2006 and is now nine years old. Since he was eight, he has frequently soiled his pants, and it has become more frequent recently. There are no gastrointestinal issues with him, and his intelligence is also not a problem. We have talked to him many times and even scolded and punished him, but it hasn’t improved. The parents are very frustrated. When I mentioned this to a friend, she reminded me if there might be a psychological issue with him. I want to know if psychological problems can manifest in this way. He shows no shame or embarrassment about his behavior, which puzzles me greatly. I hope to get your help. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello, for a child's condition, it's advisable to visit the pediatric department. Communicate more with the child, avoid hitting or scolding, and provide proper guidance. It's not necessarily a psychological disorder.
