A member asked:
Can you tell me how i could stop my four year old stepson from pooping his pants?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time for consult: I would have him seen by his PCP and evaluated for chronic constipation/stool retention. If your PCP is unfamiliar with the issue, contact a pediatric Gastroenterologist or developmental pediatrician.The various problems that lead up to this symptom are complex, and often take months and years to resolve with proper help.
