Problem Eliminating Waste?

Question

This may sound like a joke, but this is really serious. My sister who's currently 5 years old suffers every week in the bathroom. She tries to "poop" but it causes her so much pain in the area where feces comes out. Seeing her tears and cries makes me hurt alot. When the feces finally comes out, it never flushes down becuase of its enormous size. I was wondering if there's a solution to this problem. I dont want to see my sister suffering every week like this...

Well my little girl had the same kinds of problems. As long as she keeps her liquid and fibre intake up she is fine. If not, she is just like your little sister. Just push her to drink more water and eat more fruit. At 11 I can still tell if she is not having enough to drink or eating enough fruit. That was the only recommendation from her Doctor as well!
