A member asked:
My 4 year old so hasn't been to toilet to pass bowels for 3 days i noticed while drying him after shower his anus is larger?

See below: He is very likely constipated and may need a pediatric enema to help loosen up the hard stool in the rectal vault (possibly why his anus looks larger - due to holding the stool in). Try it. If no success or pain develops, see your doc.
