| | ENCOPRESIS |
| | In the first type of encopresis where the child has some control over the behavior, the encopresis tends to be temporary and often resolves after the stress–such as a new sibling, move, or change in school–is no longer acute. | | | Most of these medical evaluations will be negative in that there is very rarely a physical cause of the encopresis; however, there may be consequences of the behavior, such as colon dilatation. | | | Assessing a child with encopresis obviously involves a complete medical examination with appropriate laboratory and x-ray studies. |

| | eMedicine - Encopresis : Article by Stephen Borowitz, MD |
| | Little or no evidence exists to indicate that encopresis primarily is a behavioral disorder, and most of the available evidence suggests that behavioral difficulties associated with encopresis may be the result of the encopresis and not the cause. | | | Because more than 80% of children with encopresis have a history of constipation or a history of painful bowel movements, medical therapy generally focuses on evacuation of the distal colon followed by prolonged laxative use to ensure that stools are soft, frequent, and painless. | | | Affected children often are referred to a pediatric gastroenterologist and/or a behavioral psychologist. |

| | Encopresis in Children: Keep Kids Healthy Conditions |
| | Encopresis can sometimes be difficult to treat, and your Pediatrician may consider referring you to a Pediatric Gastroenterologist for further management if he is not improving on his current medical regimen. | | | Another important treatment of encopresis and constipation is behavior management so that your child learns to have a bowel movement each day. | | | The distention and stretching of his rectum from the impacted stool can take a lot of time to get back to normal, and until it does, he may not be able to sense or voluntarily hold in all of his bowel movements, and so leakage may continue even with proper treatment. |

| | After a meeting with the family, it was discovered that the soiling and other regressive behaviors were related to Marissa's reaction to the argumentative relationship between her parents and their recent decision to separate. | | | When it is involuntary, the child usually withholds his stool, often because he is constipated and therefore experiences pain when he has a bowel movement. | | | Initial treatment also involves education of the parents and the child about the physiology of encopresis or chronic constipation. |

| | The psychologist was able to determine that the encopresis was due to feelings of traumatization and rejection by his biological parents. | | | For example, a child?s encopresis may anger a parent, who reacts in a critical or hostile manner, whereby the child punishes his or her parents for their anger by soiling again. | | | The psychologist used play therapy techniques and provided an atmosphere of unconditional positive regard and genuine concern that allowed Matt to trust the psychologist enough to work on his underlying emotional issues and talk about his history of abuse and neglect. |

| | The management of the child with encopresis is within the realm of the pediatrician or primary physician, as long as treatment is approached in a consistent and physiologically oriented way. Additional consultations are sought when no progress is accomplished. Management is not easy or predictably swift in most cases. | | | The rectal examination is obviously very useful. It gives us immediate indication of sensation and tone of the anal sphincter, the size of the ampulla, the presence of suspicious masses in the presacral area and associated lesions in the anal verge which cen be responsible for painful stimuli at the time of defecation. | | | On the other hand, approaching the problem in a purely mechanical one is bound to fall short of expectations, and often ends up in impatience and frustration. |
