The pubic lice on Mrs. Chen was infected during intimate contact with Mr. Chen.
What is the disease of pubic lice? What kind of infection can be transmitted? How should we treat it after an unfortunate infection?
1. What are pubic lice? What diseases will cause?
pubic lice is a kind of parasitic survival arthropod . main host is human , mainly parasitizes in the body hair around the vulva and anus of the human body, so it is named pubic lice.
It should be noted that pubic lice not only parasitizes in body hair near the vulva and anus, but in some clinical cases, some pubic lice have also been found to parasitize on body hair such as skin, hair, eyelashes, abdominal hair, eyebrows, etc.
pubic lice successfully parasitizes in the human body and reproduces in large quantities, causing infection to the skin on the human surface. typical manifestations are itching and accompanied by redness and swelling, red rash .
The mechanism of pubic lice causing human itching comes from the process of it sucking blood from the host's skin. The pubic lice are only one to three millimeters and are very small in size. Therefore, when their sharp mouthparts pierce into the human skin, there is not enough signal to stimulate the pain nerves, and only the itching feeling is feedbacked on the cerebral cortex.
The skin surface that has been bitten by pubic lice and sucked blood sometimes has millet-like rashes, and redness and inflammation will appear on the bite. The itchy feeling will cause the host to scratch and even the symptoms of redness and swelling may aggravate the infection. Because the parasitic host is less active at night, pubic lice can be active in the infected area at night. Therefore, patients infected with pubic lice often show that itching exacerbates when at night.
The main basis for dermatology in the clinical diagnosis of pubic lice infection is whether the patient has adverse living habits, surface examination of the vulva, dermatoscope , and microscopic observation. Among them, , which is recognized as a confirmed pubic lice infection, is the gold standard , which is , can be directly observed when the sample is taken under a dermatoscopy or microscope.
Although pubic lice infection is not a serious disease that can directly endanger life, patients infected with pubic lice will seriously affect their daily life when they occur, affecting the health of their partners and their relationship with their lovers. Therefore, we must accurately prevent it from its infection path and avoid being infected.
2. There are three ways to infect pubic lice, so you should pay attention to prevention!
pubic lice infection is an infectious infectious disease. There are three infection pathways: , including , which is transmitted through objects that have been exposed to patients, sexual contact, and their own bad hygiene habits. If you don’t pay a little attention to prevention, it may become a source of infection. In order to avoid being accidentally infected by others and to prevent yourself from becoming the source of infection that culprits, we should pay attention to our behavioral habits from three aspects of cutting off the transmission route.
①Items are contacted and transmitted
Although pubic lice are parasitic organisms, they will not die immediately after leaving the host. In a suitable environment, they can even survive independently for one to two days , so the items infected with pubic lice may have infected active pubic lice on the items they have been exposed to. For example, towels, bath towels, close-fitting clothing and other items that can be close to contact with the infected lesions that pubic lice survive in the human body. These items are likely to transfer some pubic lice after being exposed to the lesions. It is difficult for us to find that the pubic lice is too small and we should not share it with others.
This also gives us a warning. If you or someone around you is diagnosed with pubic lice, you should disinfect and clean in time. The most effective way is to soak these items in water and boil them, take them out and soak them again with disinfectant. If you want to abandon the item, do not discard it directly. Infected items have become the transmission vector of pubic lice. You need to cremate the item to completely eliminate the pubic lice or its eggs lurking in the item.
In addition to the items that patients have come into contact with, there is another type of place that is easily overlooked, that is, the toilet used by the patient. In some public toilet that did not clean it in time on the same day and did not arrange for people to do special disinfection and cleaning, and even places in the bathroom that have been touched by patients, such as tissue box and door handles, there are pubic lice or pubic lice eggs left on the door handle. This type of place is often located in places with large flow of people and has many people in contact. If sanitation control is not done well, it is easy to become a breeding ground for pubic lice transmission and temporary settlement.
and Public bathrooms, large bathhouses, public swimming pools, hot springs, saunas, and places for back massage You should also pay extra attention. The pubic lice may be released into the water by the patient, lurking in the water to infect the next host.
When we go to an environment where water is not circulating, we should try our best to avoid going into the water when there are too many people, try not to touch the items and walls of such places, and carefully rinse the body after playing, especially private parts.
You must always remember that the contact transmission route of pubic lice is not only limited to direct contact, Indirect contact with can also achieve the purpose of infecting the next person.
②Sexual contact transmission
Sexual contact transmission is a type of direct contact transmission . Unlike the sexually transmitted diseases we have learned in the past, the mechanism of pubic lice spread through sexual contact is not transmitted through body fluid exchange that occurs during sexual behavior, but because of the special nature of the infected parts of pubic lice and the mesmerized lesions, this disease mostly causes another person to be infected during intimate contact between sexual partners.
also extends one thing. Generally, it is recommended to prevent infection by wearing condoms during sexual intercourse. This safety measure cannot take effect in preventing pubic lice infection. As long as one of the partners is infected, there is a high probability that it will be transmitted to the other party when they are in contact.
Since the number of patients infected with pubic lice accounts for a relatively large number of patients infected through sexual contact and the success rate is also high, so the group of rich sexual life, promiscuity, and unfixed sexual partners are the most common people with pubic lice disease, and the more sexual partners you come into contact, the greater the probability of being infected.
Although pubic lice disease is not a STD, its characteristics that can be transmitted through sexual contact should make us alert and keep ourselves clean. stay away from the land of smoke and willows and and other high-incidence places. At the same time, patients with pubic lice infection were also given a warning. Patients who unfortunately were infected with pubic lice should remember to to avoid and their lover to avoid cross-infection and circulating infection.
③ Poor personal hygiene
Not paying attention to personal hygiene If you do not change your clothes frequently, do not pay attention to the living environment, do not clean the garbage frequently, do not take a bath frequently, especially when cleaning and disinfecting the bathroom irregularly, it will cause the surrounding environment to become very suitable for parasite survival, which is conducive to the hatching of pubic lice eggs, and thus infect people who are susceptible to living in this unclean environment.
The environment we usually live in is full of all kinds of bacteria, viruses, parasites and their eggs, so we must take a bath frequently, change clothes frequently, and pay attention to the cleaning of our private parts.
Since there are three infection channels for pubic lice, it is proved that pubic lice infection not only occurs in young people , but also in young and elderly people will also infect pubic lice through other methods, so we should also prevent it. If you find itching, rash, etc. in your private parts, you should deal with it in time.
3. How should we deal with unfortunately being infected by pubic lice?
After several consecutive days of feeling symptoms of itching and rash in private parts, you should seek medical treatment in time and determine which disease is caused. Regardless of the severity of the situation, you must deal with these three procedures in a timely manner to avoid affecting your normal life.
The hair in private parts is the main part of the pubic lice in the human body. After the pubic lice invades the human body, grasps the hair of the infected part to stay on the surface of the skin of the infected person to absorb blood, mating and reproduction, and other activities.
When the pubic lice is diagnosed and infected, you need to immediately scrape Clean the hair in the infected area , the most important but not limited to hair in private areas. In addition, hair near the anus and hair in the abdomen are the places where they most often live, and they must also be scraped clean together.
When the infection spreads to other parts of the body, such as eyelashes, eyebrows, and hair, these hairs should also be scraped clean. When it comes to itching, swelling, and small rice-like rashes on the surface of the skin, be careful to be a signal of pubic lice transfer and should be processed in time.
pubic lice usually has the parasitic part at the root of the hair. While ensuring that the hair is shaved to the root and shaved cleanly, it is also necessary to take a hot bath of on the whole body after the hair is processed. Pay attention to rinsing the key infected parts to avoid residual pubic lice.
After cleaning hair, make sure to use clean hot water clean the infected area washing during the treatment period, and change the close-fitting clothing frequently.
The replaced clothing must be disinfected and sterilized with hot water, disinfectant, etc. The general step is to boil the changing clothes in hot water for more than fifteen minutes, then soak them in disinfectant for more than ten minutes, then clean them with sterilization lotion, and finally put the washed clothes in the sun and explode for more than a day before the remaining pubic lice and pubic lice eggs can be completely killed. It is recommended that patients choose disposable intimate clothing instead of traditional cloth clothing during pubic lice treatment to achieve the purpose of frequent exchange and avoid cross-infection.
Pubic lice infection is an external wound infection disease. In clinical practice, patients are generally recommended to undergo for two consecutive courses of treatment topical medication to completely remove pubic lice buried in the surface of the skin.
The commonly used targeted drugs in clinical practice are lele . continuous medication for seven to ten days is a course of treatment . The usage is to apply le le ole ointment with cotton swab on the affected area where the hair is shaved, and apply it three to five times a day. In some clinical cases, it will also be combined with 50% ethanol solution. Before applying Lierle ointment, dip a cotton swab to disinfect the injured area. Alcohol can disinfect and sterilize and eliminate redness and swelling.
It should be noted that alcohol should be applied to the private parts on a large scale. Do not rinse the affected area directly with alcohol to avoid damaging the microecology of the private parts.
When the affected area still has symptoms of severe itching after shaving, disinfection, and applying medicine, you can use the itchy symptomatic drug dermatitis flat ointment. The application method must also be applied through a cotton swab. There is no fixed time and number of medications used, and it can be used when it is unbearable.
Although pubic lice infection does not seem to be a major disease, its impact on patients' daily life is no less than that of various life-threatening major diseases. To prevent pubic lice infection, you only need to pay attention to , do not change, wash clothes frequently, take baths frequently, and avoid water play projects with large traffic and poor sanitation environment, and do not go to public bathrooms with dense traffic and inadequate cleaning. When it is convenient, use a squat toilet instead of toilets, pay attention to personal hygiene, and eliminate bad sexual habits, etc., and can prevent infection by a high probability of small daily details such as . Unfortunately, after being infected, don’t be ashamed to speak and delay treatment like Mr. Chen, and even spread it to the people around you through intimacy.
