Adolescents and children bowel problems

Bowel problems can affect individuals of all ages, including adolescents and children. In this section, we will discuss bowel problems in adolescents and children, common issues they may face, potential causes, and the role of pelvic floor physiotherapy in managing and improving bowel function.

Constipation and Soiling accidents

Constipation and soiling accidents are common problems in children. Although most children are able to control their bowel by the age of 4, some children do experience these issues ongoing. Poor emptying techniques and poor habits can contribute to this. Getting a thorough assessment and treatment can help improve these issues and reduce the stress on the family.
