What is fecal emission in children?

Fecal impaction in children is a chronic behavioral problem with a complex etiology, as the child is still unable to control stool on his or her own after the age of 4 years, but there is no obvious organic cause. The main cause is inappropriate family education and failure to acquire the ability to control bowel movements normally. The second is that the development of the nervous system is not particularly mature, which prevents the development of normal defecation habits. The third is the presence of mental trauma, fear, and stress, which are also the most important causes of fecal emission. The fourth is that some of the fecal emissions may be related to physiological constipation. The main clinical manifestation of this disease is that often involuntarily, without allowing the occasion, repeated episodes, once in mild cases, several times a day in severe cases, without organic causes, and no diarrhea. These children are usually more introverted, less courageous, shy and sensitive, and not lively. Once the disease is diagnosed, it is necessary to find the cause, and after finding the cause, targeted treatment. If it is caused by psychological factors, psychological guidance can be carried out. In addition, parents need to slowly exercise the child’s bowel habits. The above content is for reference only, please refer to the doctor’s consultation for specific medication and treatment.
