Does a child sleeping on their stomach and rubbing their genital area require treatment?

Patient's question:

My daughter is five years old. She likes to sleep on her stomach and always rubs her genital area before going to sleep. Do I need to seek treatment?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's important to pay attention to whether there are symptoms like itching, and it's recommended to check for the possibility of infection. Take the baby to the hospital for a check-up. Pay attention to external hygiene. You can give the child a period of time to take Jianpi Zhiji Pian. If necessary, you can have the child tested for a urinalysis and ultrasound. Additionally, it cannot be ruled out that there may be a possibility of neurogenic enuresis, and you can also try taking neurotrophic drugs and symptom-relieving medications.
