Is leg-rubbing syndrome inherited in girls?

Leg-chafing syndrome is a relatively common symptom. For girls, frequent rubbing of their legs will cause local irritation. There are many causes of this leg-chafing syndrome. So far, no genetic correlation has been found. It is mainly related to some psychological factors or iron deficiency in the body. In addition, if you are exposed to some bad journals, magazines or videos too early, this situation may also occur.

1. Local irritation: Stimuli such as burns, damp diapers or tight pants cause local itching of the vulva, which then develops on this basis due to friction.

2. Psychological factors: Some young children are not emotionally satisfied 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 producing the leg-clenching action. Negative emotions such as tension, anxiety, worry, or fear can cause children to seek self-comfort and self-release.

3. Iron deficiency in the body: Clinicians have found through detailed examinations that about 70% of the children have low levels of ferritin in their blood. They believe that this disease is the result of insufficient iron storage in the body, which causes catecholamine metabolism disorders.

4. 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.

1. Raise awareness: Since many doctors still do not know enough about this disease, the key to preventing and treating it lies in early detection and early diagnosis. Once parents find that their children show signs of this condition, they should consult a child psychologist as soon as possible. Parents should understand the nature of this symptom and should not scold or punish the child or forcibly stop the attack.

2. Timely transfer: When the child is about to have an attack or is having an attack, parents should pretend nothing has happened and pick up the child and walk around, or give the child toys to play with, or "amuse" the child, or take the child out to play, in order to divert the child's attention. If you persist, it will generally be effective.

3. Keep a regular schedule: Develop a good habit of sleeping on time, don’t go to bed too early at night, and don’t get up late in the morning to reduce the chance of "leg clamping" occurring.

5. Avoid stimulation: Do not use any reinforcing behaviors towards young children, such as laughing at them, forcibly taking their hands away, scaring them that they will get sick if they do so, etc. If parents use these reinforcing behaviors, the children will reinforce their behaviors instead. The last thing parents should do is scold their children. They should not use words such as obscene or criminal to describe their children's behavior. This will cause great psychological harm to their children, which will be difficult to repair and may even affect their lives.

6. Drug treatment: Drug treatment is for children whose condition is difficult to reverse. For children with a long course of illness and stubborn conditions, medications that mainly regulate mood can be used to help young children make an early transition. Then long-term psychological counseling or behavioral therapy can be carried out.
