| | Impaction should be considered in high-risk patients in the following conditions:14 patients who have less than one bowel movement every other day, patients who experience change in the frequency or consistency of the bowel, and patients with clinical deterioration. | | | A general consensus is also constipation being present if the patient has two or less bowel movements weekly, with at least 25% of bowel movements involving straining.12 Constipation can be also divided in clinical and subjective subtypes. | | | Sensation of rectal fullness could indicate rectal prolapse, internal intussusception, rectocele, or pelvic floor dysfunction.7,8 Abdominal discomfort and distention relieved by defecation is suggestive of irritable bowel syndrome, as is rectal pain.11 Rectal pain can also be associated with anal fissure or hemorrhoids. |

| | Chronic Constipation Can Lead to Megasigmoid |
| | Chronic fecal impaction may interfere with bowel training in the 80% of patients who have the capacity to develop voluntary bowel movement s. | | | The problem is that severe constipation ends up as chronic fecal impaction, meaning that the patient carries a large amount of stool inside the rectum that stays there for days or weeks. | | | For those 20% of patients who are fecally incontinent and probably will not develop voluntary bowel movements, we recommend our bowel management program, which consists of a daily enema, and keeps 95% of the children clean. |
