What Causes Urinary And Bowel Incontinence In A Child?
I have an almost 5 year old girl who since last Saturday just doesn t seem quite right all the time. Last Saturday she refused to go to the bathroom when we asked her to and she ended up going 12 hours in between bathroom trips. She also said she was tired. On Thursday, she peed her pants on the way home from a errand. She then went home and told me she wasn t hungry for lunch and that she wanted to take a nap. She went to sleep and peed her pants again. By the way, daddy was gone Wed & Thurs. nights on work. On Friday, she peed and pooped her pants during her nap. She peed her pants again on Friday night. On Saturday morning she got up and started to poop her pants. I had her sit on the stool on both Friday night and Sat. morning. She did end up having a rather large bowel movement on her own in the potty on Sat. Now it s Sunday night and she peed her pants on the way home from church with her grandparents. She came straight inside and said she was tired and that she was ready for bed, but that was because she had peed her pants again. Do you think this could be a UTI? Diabetes? She says there is no pain anywhere.
it could be uti but her stool incontinence does not support that diagnosis. its definitely not diabetes. in your case treatment can be behavioural therapy and good bowel habits and syr lactulose 10 ml at night and high fiber diet. Good family support is a must.
