Dear patent, the problem you are facing is not uncommon. It is not a difficult disease to treat, but it would definitely test your patience. Firstly, you need to see a paediatrician to make sure there is no organic disorder which is responsible for these symptoms. Secondly, she would require some stool softner along with a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. With motivation and your perseverance, she should be able to get rid of fear of passing stool. There is a vicious cycle the needs to be broken: voluntary stool holding due to fear of pain, and stool becoming hard and pain while defecation because of voluntary stool holding.
