Non-Retentive Encopresis

As stated at the end of the retentive encopresis article, the remaining 5 to 20% of encopresis cases have no physical condition that bars normal toileting behaviors.

These children aren't constipated and don't seem to have any significant medical problems. They usually soil their diapers or pants almost every day and have normal, mostly voluntary bowel movements.

This type, non-retentive encopresis, is a behavioral condition in which the child refuses to defecate on the toilet.
