Can be: Many kids cannot achieve full control until they have their chronic stool issues fixed. Both the distal colon and the bladder are located within the same region of the pelvis.Retained old stool seems to interfere with the kids ability to empty either stool or urine normally.Fixing the stooling issue may end the enuresis.

Sometimes: You can have both or just one or the other. See your doctor if you have either or both for an evaluation and treatment options.
