Can Toilet Training Causes Raised Blue Vein Close To Butt In 3 Year Old?
Hi I noticed today that my 3 year okd had like a raised blue vein close to his bottom?
He is potty training at the minute and was a bit put off from using the potty for "no.2's" so sometimes
Held off until that night to do them in a potty, could this have caused the raised vein?

Many thanks.
these veins are not related to potty training.
It could be due to prolong waiting and sitting on toilet and pushing a lot.
He might be constipatedas well.
Advice;
- Encourage to take plenty of liquids.
-donot force him for long sitting on toilet.
-If constipated then needs dietary manipulation
-sometime oral lactulose can be helpful for constipation.
