Fecal incontinence in children

During the acute disimpaction phase of treatment, physicians should ensure compliance and tolerance of outpatient treatment either via in-clinic visit every 2 or so days or via telephone calls.

During maintenance treatment, physicians should reinforce dietary measures and toilet habits at the start, followed by every 2 weeks for 1 month, then once a month for 1 to 3 months, then every 6 months thereafter. Maintenance treatment should be continued for several months to 1 year or more.
