Suggest Remedy For Fecal Incontinence In Children
My 11 year old has fecal incontinence for the last 4 or more years and it is getting very embarrising for him. I have taken him to the doctor and they had us give him enemas twice a day and they have also had us try Polyethylene Glycol. I dont know what else to do. I feel so bad for him. He has to change his clothes at least 6 or more times a day.

Hi
Most common cause of stool incontinence in children is constipation. You are already giving treatment for constipation for last 4 years with no improvement in his condition. In that case I will advise you to meet psychiatrist for counselling and psychotherapy, a pediatric surgeon to assess anal tone . Empty his bowel with enema regularly. He should not pass stool 6 times if bowel is empty by enema.
