It occurs more often in boys than in girls. The most common cause of encopresis is chronic constipation, in which the feces dry and harden, making it painful to defecate, which is why the child avoids going to the bathroom, aggravating the situation, since the longer the stool remains, the colon stretches and fills, passing soft or liquid stools around the hard ones or causing loss of control of bowel movements, which can be embarrassing for the child and parents. Other reasons for constipation are: Low fiber diet. Desire to continue playing or doing other activities. Fear of going to the bathroom due to embarrassment or pain. Little fluid intake. However, encopresis can also be due to emotional problems, such as: Anxiety. Autism. Changes in the child's lifestyle. Attention deficit disorder. Depression. Difficulty in the process of learning to use the bathroom on their own. Stress. Hyperactivityhttps://centromedicoabc.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/share-imagen-centro-medico-abc.png779406
