Our son is nearly 3 years old and for roughly a year he has been pooing in the night when he is asleep. I do remember a possible 'bad poo' experience that may have brought that on. Sometimes we can hear that the pooing process seems to be difficult but most of the time he will go back to sleep after me changing him.
The puzzling thing is that while the doctors have said that he may be holding it in/constipated and have prescribed movicol - he identifies pain (which has been getting alot worse)in his penis. This pain seems to be there all of the time - sometimes if he is distracted he can deal with it - other times (which is increasing) he cannot deal with it and will cry/hold himself down below and roll about on the sofa/floor.
We are left not knowing whether we actually do have a poo problem or a problem with his penis. We have been referred to a urologist but are waiting for an appointment.
Blood tests & abdominal scan have revealed nothing - a night in hospital did also not help as attention by nurses and his own TV allowed him to forget the pain for a while!
Can anyone suggest anything?
