Hi my son is 3 years old, he struggles to poo what can be the issue and its been happening for some time ? when i go to consult they give him medication and it works for that time only, i need help so that he poo naturally without medication

Common problem: Stool retention is a common problem of childhood that may become evident as soon as a child develops some control of the emptying process.Over time the large intestines balloon out & emptying becomes weaker & stooling hardens & slows. Short term meds do little.It can take a year of meds/scheduled pooping & emotional support to rehab the bowel. A Pedi GI may help.
