Constipation is a difficult condition for everyone, young and old, women and men; just imagine how difficult it is for children with constipation. People with constipation have a very difficult time passing out stool and when they do get the job done, their stomach and anus hurt from all the effort they put into it.

More so for children with constipation, since they do not understand what is happening to them. Even worse, children with constipation often experience a very embarrassing episode of “stool soiling” or encopresis.

Since child constipation have fewer bowel movements than what is normal, their stools get trapped so that it seeps out from the anus even when they do not feel the urge to pass out stools yet. So you can only imagine how scarring to their self esteem “stool soiling” is for children with constipation.
