I’ve been thinking about taking him to the doctor, for a while he has been having accidents while at home (normally pooing his pants but also peeing himself). I left it for a while to see if it would pass but it hasn’t, I don’t know what’s causing it he says nothing is bothering him or anything like that.
At first I was thinking it might be because he has ADHD, like when he wets if we’re out anywhere, but as this hasn’t happened much before so im doubting that.
Any one else think I should make an appointment with the docs?

EDIT UPDATE:
PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!, our GP new right away what it was. It was caused by him "holding it" because he was too lazy / busy to go.
Cured by "reminding" (or forcing him to try and go) him to go every so often.

If it was me, then yes, i would go and have a chat to your gp for their opinion, as this problem is bound to be quite embarrassing for him too.
And especially as you've left it a bit to see if it sorts itself out and it hasn't.
Good luck, i hope it nothing.. but best to get it checked out now.

I would make the appointment and get them to take a urine sample - he might have an infection

Let us know how you get on

Hun

I have to agree i'd take mine.... if it's causing you worry and concern please go chat it though with a gp etc as they might have a better idea.

Good luck, i hope it's something simple.
