When talking about small things like "little", I believe everyone will immediately feel disgusted. Especially friends born in the 1970s and 1980s should be familiar with it.
Because my country's economic level was relatively backward decades ago, it was very luxurious for many rural areas to take a bath with hot water. Affected by the sanitary environment, the parasite of lice once developed rampantly.
Until recent years, my country's economic level has become better and better, and the people pay more and more attention to the sanitary environment. This lice that is prone to parasitization on human scalp seems to have disappeared.
But in fact, lice have not been completely eliminated. In recent years, " pubic lice disease " is more common, and is often diagnosed by couples. This parasitic infection is a type of lice disease .
So the question is, what exactly is pubic lice , and what are its transmission channels?
As mentioned above, pubic lice is an parasite. is just different from the lice that used to be. It parasitizes in the private parts of the human body, and survives on the body hair around the pubic hair and anus.
The pubic lice is very small and looks like turtle . After parasitism, it mainly depends on human blood to make nutrition . The pubic lice before eating is grayish white, and after eating it, it turns into rust color.
Although under natural conditions, the lifespan of female pubic lice is about 35 days , it will continuously produce larvae. Both larvae and adults rely on blood sucking for a living, and the number of blood sucking per day reaches about 4-5 times . Usually, pubic lice generally does not leave the pubic hair, and it will leave the original host only after it comes into contact with the new host.
According to the current clinical data, there are two main types of transmission routes of pubic lice:
1. Sex transmission
Sexual contact is actually the most important transmission route of pubic lice. The patient or his or her possessed a history of unclean sexual contact and had sexual relations with the infected person. During sexual intercourse, the pubic lice will leave the original host . Because of this, if one of the couples with is infected with pubic lice, they will often get sick together, and leads to cross-infection;
2. Indirect transmission
In addition to sexual contact, healthy people may also be infected through indirect contact with patients. For example, is in the same bed as the patient, and is shared with the patient's underwear, and is exposed to the patient's underwear and uses towels, bed sheets, toilets, etc.
The reason why is this is because The eggs of pubic lice may often fall off with hair , which will cause pubic lice to parasitize in their own private parts once they are in contact. Clinically, some people eventually became infected with pubic lice because they stayed overnight before the onset of the disease.
After infection, the most typical symptom of the patient is that he feels severe itching in his private parts, especially after nighttime, the itching in is obvious. This itching of is limited to pubic , but can also affect in the perianal anus, lower abdomen, axillary area and other areas. If you look closely, you will find that the pubic hair was a lot of gray-white sand-like eggs, and the slow moving pubic lice.
Some pubic lice will penetrate into the patient's skin, and half of them will be exposed to the skin. There will be obvious skin lesions in the patient's private parts, such as skin scratches, blood scabs, etc., or scattered slabs, blue bleeding eczema, . As the pubic lice continues to develop and patients repeatedly scratch their private parts, they may also have secondary folliculitis , impetigo, and furuncle bacterial infection and other problems.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that if there are similar symptoms recently, patients need to seek medical treatment for examination and diagnosis in a timely manner.
After is diagnosed with pubic lice infection, we must actively cooperate with doctors to carry out relevant treatments, such as removing pubic hair, fully disinfecting pubic hair, using underwear, toiletries, and bedding, using drugs to treat it.If a couple has had sex, they should seek medical treatment and receive joint treatment.
