Chronic constipation can cause impacted stools which can cause alot of tummy discomfort and painful defecation. This pain in turn makes the child afraid to poop and then tries not to, which then subsequently becomes a vicious cycle for further impaction. The bowel is also a muscular organ so it will start to lax to accommodate more backlog of stools. This can cause fecal incontinence whereby the more liquid stools further up the gut starts to leak and stain the undergarments. For an older child, this can cause alot of negative psychological impact. It is also very hard to treat at this stage.
