Pediatric bowel and bladder dysfunction (BBD) is estimated to affect 24% of all school-age children in the U.S. The standard of care has been reassurance, unnecessary medications, or invasive testing. Research shows that affected children have lower self-esteem than their peers. This presentation is very practical, giving information on what is and is not pediatric BBD, the causative pathophysiology, appropriate evaluation, and a simple, effective treatment plan.
