Question
My child is three years old and has recently been frequently having feces leakage in their pants. The feces is normal, not diarrhea, occurring about one to two times a day. They don’t squat to defecate on their own, but when carried, they can’t defecate. Occasionally, they can expel some feces when they squat to defecate by themselves. What’s going on?
Answer
This situation with a child may be due to insufficient self-control, and if not corrected in time, it may develop into bad habits similar to bedwetting. In treating such issues, general treatment methods are usually adopted. Parents should use the correct methods to help children recover quickly to avoid affecting their growth and development. Therefore, when children have such problems, parents should take immediate measures to help them heal.
