Common problem: Various degrees of stool retention are common in childhood.It can be triggered simply if a kid decides not to poo when nature calls & then has a painful one the next day.Kids may begin retaining stools to avoid pain & gradually change their intestinal structure.Parents often fail to treat long enough to fix the problem & encopresis by school age can result.
