Your child may have fecal incontinence when he experiences difficulty in controlling his bowel movements. This is despite having potty trained your child. Do note that fecal incontinence has, contrary to popular belief, nothing to do with age. Just about anyone can have problems controlling their bowel movements. One commonly inflicted group is children. Here are some fecal incontinence symptoms that you should be aware of.

Constipation is a major cause of fecal incontinence in children. Constipation develops when stool builds up in your childs rectum and causes a blockage. It is often the case that even if your child is potty trained, he may be reluctant to interrupt his playtime with going to the bathroom. Or he may be too embarrassed to let his teacher know that he must go to the bathroom. Your child starts to get constipated.

With constipation, he may soon develop stomach aches. These are common fecal incontinence symptoms. The build up of fecal matter in their body causes a blockage. The blockage, in turn, causes an uncomfortable cramping.

Sometimes the fecal incontinence symptoms may actually feed off of each other. For instance, if your child has a stomach ache, such as I just mentioned, they may also suddenly stop wanting to eat. Even if they are hungry they may not want to eat, because their stomach hurts too much.

One of the most embarrassing fecal incontinence symptoms for a child is leakage. If your child has soiled his or her underwear, do not get annoyed that he has incontinence. In fact, he may not have even realized he has done it. It happens because liquid further up in his bowel leaks down past the solid blockage.

One of the other fecal incontinence symptoms is painful, straining bowel movements. Hence if your child finally does go to the bathroom, it may hurt, as there has been such an accumulation of feces. Unfortunately, some children who finds it a painful process, may even refrain from going to the bathroom; thus worsening their incontinence problems.

Fortunately, there are things that you can do to help reduce these fecal incontinence symptoms. It is best that you take your child to the physician to find ways to unblock your unblock your childs bowel. You should also coax your child to use the toilet at certain times every day. With a regular schedule to the bathroom, his bowel movements should become more smooth.
