Son is constipated - Bowel Disorders Message Board

I just found out that my son is constipated. He goes poop on a regular basis, but we seen an urologist because he has been having wetting accidents all the suddon.(could also be from diabetes). Anyways his KUB showed that he still has stool in his colon and the is pressing on the bladder. So starting tomorrow we are the start a high-fiber diet and get him cleaned out. This was a total shocker when she told me this because we thought the frequent urination and accidents was from possible diabetes. My appoinment was originally for the hole in the end of his penis being to small

I am just really confused now

How old is your son?
A full bowel will press against the baldder and cause frequent pee accidents.
Does he also have soiling accidents?
I do hope the high fiber diet will do the trick!
How will you do the clean-out?
Look on the internet under soiling, chronic constipation and encopresis. You will find lots and lots of info that you might find usefull!

My son is 6 years old. We will start the cleaning out process tonight. We are to give him a dose of scenocot and then start daily doses of benefiber. Then every friday evening give him a dose of milk of mag. We doesn't have any soiling accidents and the peeing accidents are when he seems to be having problems with his blood suger. Thanks for all the info.

The senna will do the trick. It is a rather strong stimulant.
The MOM will make his poop mushy so it will be easier to come out.
If he is not soiling you are lucky and you caught it on time!
Good luck.
