Disimpactation

Hi all, my little one poos at least 3 times a week but has soiling in between and still withholds- I'm looking into disimpactation but feeling a bit overwhelmed.. i wondered how to know whether its definitely the right thing to do and if so what are people's experiences of it? Also has anyones little one had a scan of their bowel to confirm impactation? Many thanks.
