Question
My child often clench their legs with force until they’re sweating, and this situation seems to be recurring. I’ve had similar symptoms before. I want to know what kind of illness this is and how to treat it.
Answer
Your child may have a condition known as the child leg clenching syndrome, a common undesirable habit in school-age children characterized by involuntary clenching of the legs and rubbing against the perineum. This condition usually recurs every few days or weeks, so it is recommended to seek assistance from a pediatric psychologist and to maintain a regular lifestyle and hygiene habits to reduce the frequency of recurrence.
