Emotional cross-leg rubbing syndrome

　　The occurrence of this disease may be related to some triggering factors, such as enterobiasis, perineal eczema, and children may cross their legs to relieve itching. Some children have the habit of holding their urine and keeping their legs tightly closed from a young age. In addition, boys playing with their reproductive organs and girls with unclean vulvae can all be triggering factors for this disease.

　　This disease generally has no special complications. After correcting the cause, the frequency of rubbing the legs of the patient will gradually decrease. If the legs are rubbed repeatedly, it can cause skin damage. Since the integrity of the skin is destroyed, it can induce bacterial infection or fungal infection, usually secondary to low physique, or long-term use of immunosuppressants, or patients with onychomycosis and other fungal infections. If there is a secondary bacterial infection, there may be symptoms such as fever, skin swelling, ulceration, and purulent secretion.

　　During an attack, the child's legs are crossed or straightened, the whole body is exerted, and the upper and lower parts are rubbed. Each attack lasts about 1 minute to several minutes. The mild ones occur once every few days, the severe ones several times a day, and some children even do this action as soon as they have a moment, and they do it with great force and a large range.

　　Emotional cross-leg rubbing syndrome often affects the patient's daily life, so it should be actively prevented. When preventing, attention should be paid to eliminating various triggering factors of the disease, such as treating pinworm disease, cleaning the perineum, etc.

　　The patient's electroencephalogram and ultrasound are normal. The patient's blood test shows that serum follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone are normal, urinary amino acid chromatography is 82% higher, and serum ferritin is 2 standard deviations lower than the normal value.

　　The diet of patients with emotional cross-leg rubbing syndrome should be light, with more vegetables and fruits, a reasonable diet, and attention to sufficient nutrition. In addition, patients should also pay attention to avoiding spicy, greasy, and cold foods.

　　Western medicine has no specific drug treatment for this disease. In necessary cases, appropriate sedatives and vitamin B1, B6, etc. can be used. When treating this disease, it is first necessary to persuade the parents to eliminate their fear, not to blame the child, and to consciously guide the child's attention to things that interest them. At the same time, it is necessary to eliminate various triggering factors of the disease, such as treating pinworm disease, cleaning the perineum, etc.
