Movement Resistance, Bowel Movement Withholding or even Stool Toileting
Refusal (STR). About 5-20% of ALL encopresis cases are nonretentive encopresis

type, functional encopresis, is a behavioral condition in which the child
refuses to defecate in a toilet. 2/5 |

Help
For Bedwetters - Most doctors consider a bedwetting
child to be any girl older than age four and any boy over age five who
wet the bed. Bedwetting generally declines with age. About 10% of all
six year olds and about 3% of all 14 year olds wet the bed. In a very
small number of cases, bedwetting can continue into adulthood. Bedwetting
(enuresis) is considered to be PRIMARY if the child has never been dry
at night or only is occasionally dry at night. SECONDARY enuresis refers
to bedwetting episodes that occur after a child has been dry at night
for a considerable length of time. 2/5 |
