Abstract

The article examines the encopresis, a chronic form of constipation that leads to accidents. It cites that most common in toddlers, the problem often begins when a child has a painful bowel movement and then holds poop in to avoid another uncomfortable experience. Eventually, the stool builds up and looser poop leaks around the blockage.
