Restless genital syndrome (RGS) is a rare disorder marked by paresthesia and discomfort in the genital area, akin to restless legs syndrome (RLS). While RLS typically affects the lower limbs, its impact on areas such as the bladder has been noted. RGS individuals exhibit sensory symptoms akin to RLS, including difficulty expressing sensations and a compulsion for genital rubbing. Thus, RGS is viewed as an atypical RLS presentation, characterized by genital sensory symptoms. Despite the rarity, this report details a successfully managed case using conventional RLS treatments. Numerous RGS aspects need clarification, including prevalence and treatment. Due to its distressing nature, sustained investigation is vital. Though lacking a standard treatment, our patient benefited from traditional RLS medication, hinting at shared mechanisms. Further research is vital for understanding and treating RGS effectively.
不安性生殖器综合征（RGS）是一种罕见的疾病，其特征为生殖器区域的感觉异常和不适，类似于不安腿综合征（RLS）。虽然RLS通常影响下肢，但它对膀胱等部位的影响也已被注意到。RGS患者表现出类似于RLS的感觉症状，包括难以表达感觉和有摩擦生殖器的冲动。因此，RGS被视为一种非典型的RLS表现，其特征为生殖器感觉症状。尽管罕见，但本报告详细介绍了一例使用传统RLS治疗成功处理的病例。RGS的许多方面需要阐明，包括患病率和治疗。由于其令人痛苦的性质，持续的研究至关重要。虽然缺乏标准治疗方法，但我们的患者从传统的RLS药物中受益，这暗示了共同的机制。进一步的研究对于有效理解和治疗RGS至关重要。
