What Causes Fecal Incontinence In A Child?

hello My 6 year old son has recently started pooping his pants everyday. he says he doesn t feel that he needs to go to the toilet. Sometimes I see him standing still clenching his bottom together but he says he doesn t need to go to the toilet.. My husband and I are going through a rough patch and im wondering if this could be a reason or if I should be worried.. He keeps the stool in his pants all day at school and does not tell anyne.. Thanks Emmalee

Hello,

The situation of your child looks more like a psychological issue than a health issue. I think you may need to visit an infantile psychiatrist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
