Patient discussions
For children with bladder bowel dysfunction (BBD), timed voiding every 2 hours during the day is helpful. Constipation is the main cause of voiding symptoms in children with BBD. Fecal disimpaction with enemas and laxatives should be followed by maintenance therapy with stool softeners such as polyethylene glycol to achieve soft, painless bowel movements.[19] Therapy may be required for months or years.
