Encopresis

Encopresis is when a child older than four has frequent stool or bowel movement accidents. Chronic constipation often leads to encopresis. The stools may be firm, soft, or liquid. We don't always know why an individual has encopresis.

If you think your child may have encopresis, the Center for Disabilities and Development can help you with a diagnosis through our Bowel and Bladder Management Service.
