Patient's question:
My son is almost 14 months old. Before, he could hold his urine, but now he doesn't urinate whether it's for big or small stool. When I put him down, he'll leak a little. It's clear he didn't finish, but when I pick him up to let him continue, he cries and refuses to go. It's really frustrating. Is this just because he's too mischievous, or is it some kind of urinary or fecal incontinence?Doctor's answer:
The child's condition is not related to incontinence of urine or feces. The child consumed soy milk made from black beans and red beans, and was fed rice porridge with black rice and jujubes, which may result in black stools. Considering the child's condition, it is still related to daily habits. It is recommended to train the child to defecate at regular times to form a conditioned reflex. Giving verbal praise or other rewards when the child performs well will help strengthen the conditioned reflex. I hope my answer can be of help to you.
