Introduction to children's leg clamp syndrome

The disease of pediatric leg clamp syndrome mainly occurs in children aged one to three years old. Its cause may be genital itching or psychological factors. Therefore, when mothers encounter this situation, they should wipe the child's vulva in time. This can clean the vulva and avoid inflammation and bacterial growth. I hope you can learn more about the treatment of pediatric leg clamp syndrome in your life.

Leg-clenching syndrome in children, also known as restless legs syndrome or leg-rubbing syndrome, is a habitual bad behavior in children characterized by leg-clenching and constant rubbing of the perineum. It is most common in girls aged 1-3 years old. Many children suffer from leg pinching syndrome due to itching caused by unclean vulva. Clean your child's vulva frequently. When cleaning, be sure to use water to tease and rinse it instead of using your hands to avoid causing excitement and stimulation, or even causing the child to masturbate prematurely.

First of all, parents should understand the nature of this disease and not be anxious or nervous. Normally, do not wear clothes that are too tight. Do appropriate physical activities before going to bed so that your child is tired before going to bed and can fall asleep quickly. Avoid sleeping with too many blankets and get up immediately after waking up to eliminate the conditions that lead to this habit.

reason

1. Local irritation: such as vulvar eczema, pinworms, damp diapers or tight pants, which cause local itching of the vulva, followed by friction, and develop on this basis.

2. Psychological factors: Some children are emotionally unsatisfied due to tense family atmosphere, lack of maternal love, discrimination, etc., and have no toys to play with. They seek catharsis through self-stimulation, thus engaging in the leg-clenching action.

3. Other reasons: Among older children, the influence of pornographic videos and pornographic books and magazines is also a cause of the "leg-clenching" bad behavior.

symptom:

The main manifestation is friction in the perineum. Children can put their legs together or cross them inward or use the corner of a table or chair to rub their vulva. Girls often cross their legs and rub them up and down, and when rubbing, they blush, stare, and sweat on their foreheads or whole bodies. Children usually do this before going to bed, just after waking up, or when playing alone. Each attack lasts for several minutes, and the frequency of attacks varies, possibly several times a day, or once every few days. In young infants, the movement can be stopped when they are lifted from the bed or when their position is changed, and in older children it can be interrupted consciously.

As mothers, if you encounter young girls squeezing their legs together in your life, you should use the methods introduced in the article to stop it. This will prevent your female friends from experiencing precocious puberty and prevent the occurrence of some genital diseases. At the same time, for a disease like children's leg clamping syndrome, we recommend that you prevent its causes.
