Hello Everyone, thanks for posting. Sometimes its good to know your not all alone out there, when u have issues that not to many people, if anyone around can understand. Im 32 and was born with an imperfect anus. I did have surgery 2 days after birth. 32 years later there has no been no cure. I do not have strong enough muscles to help me control my stools. I currently live by doing enemas. I know they say do them everyday, but I do not like the feeling of being bloated for rest of the day. I dont wanna be a debbie downer, but I do like to say this is how it is. I have never had control over my movements. I went through public school, and yes I did have accidents almost EVERYDAY! Yes it was horrible. Was I picked on, YES kids are gonna be kids. But I never let it hold me down. I continued to go to school everyday. As I got older, maybe High School, I started just going to the restroom at same time couple times a day, everyday. I found out that me sitting there, and relaxing my muscles will allow me to go, even though my brain receptors did not tell me to. This helped me get through H.S. I continued to have the problem during College. Though I was more educated, YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN ITS GONNA HAPPEN. NO CONTROL. I finally started to understand myself. I changed my diet, ate at certain times, and went to the restroom at the same time to program my body. I still do enemas. Prob twice a week, just to make sure I clean myself out. I can say I do not have accidents now, thank god. But there are times when it starts to want to come out, and I have to run to the restroom.
My advice to parents is not to get frustrated with the kid. Its not their fault, trust me they dont want to smell at school, they want to be normal. Its not laziness, they have no control. Educate them what is different about them, maybe through pictures. Explain to them that they are gonna have to be little different then their friends. Diet is very important. Also this is very big, usually the reason for this problem stems from problems with the spine. As much as doctors will tell you differently, Chiropractic care changed my life. It allowed my digestive system to work properly and even helped my bowl movements. I know I just went on a rant, if anyone gets anything out of this I want them to know that life is not over. Mentally prepare yourself or kids for things to come, but you can live a normal life. Went to public schools, played school sports, went to college, worked in Corporate America. I did what everyone sets out to do. Good Luck.
