Anal retention in 4 year old
by Margaret771, Jun 07, 2008 06:54AM
Help!
I am at my wits end with my 4 year old daughter. When I started training her all went well with her pee but she refused to do her poo. She held on to it sometimes for days at a time. One Dr suggested giving her lactulose but this made her more determined to hold it in. We have had to give her a baby lax suppository in the past to clear her out, but now she wont let us put it in anymore. Lately after using a reward chart we hade a few weeks of her using the toilet successfully but then she regressed back to holding the poo in again. I really don't know what to do about her and I am fast losing patience as tis has been going on for over 15 months now.

Have you ever heard of incopresis? Not sure if i spelled it right. It is something that a child can not do anything about. I have a friend with a child who is nine and only now got off meds. It is not an easy diagnose but i have something like it and i am 34. Don't dispare and get impatient. Good luck.
