Pubic lice, called Pthirus pubis, are a parasitic insect that is common in human pubic hair, even if they can live on other hairy areas, including eyelashes, causing pubic lice. Although pubic lice are caused by parasitic lice, they are classified as sexually transmitted diseases.

To be ill with disease

Mr. Nguyen Van Kien (Hanoi) came to the Oriental Medicine Clinic to specialize in the male department of the physician Vu Quoc Trung to ask about his difficulty speaking. About a month ago, his sensitive parts suddenly tingled, scratching constantly. Many areas around the skin are blistering and sores. New to working in the mountains, eating and sleeping on the beach, there is a bit of 'joyful' , so Mr. Kien is afraid of being sexually ill.

However, just a quick glance, Dr. Vu Quoc Trung said simply: 'Mu lice disease' . But because for a long time, the lice had completely covered the fur in the sensitive area of ​​Mr. Kien, digging the underground road down under the skin, causing blisters, scratching so much that the blisters became more and more sore, looking very weird '.

Pubic lice are insects that parasitize and cause disease in humans.

Luong y Trung said, every once in a while, he met a patient who came to the 'male department' for symptoms of itching and sores in the genitals. However, it is actually pubic lice. The age of these patients is also about 18-40 years old. Mr. Trung said, pubic lice are a simple parasite but 'enjoy' hard, dense hair areas, rough skin so that they can go deep into the pores and suck human blood to live. That's why most people with this disease are men.

Pubic lice can be spread through rubbing during sexual intercourse, but can also be through contact with clothes and bed sheets of an infected person. Pubic lice can reside in eyelids and hair but are rarer. Pubic lice lay eggs constantly, which proliferate very quickly. Those who live dusty, do not keep hygiene are also susceptible to this disease.'Because the pubic lice are very small and have skin color, it is difficult to identify with the naked eye. But the symptoms of the disease are very recognizable. Patients with constant itching of the genitals, when scratching the pig like sand, the risk of pubic lice is high. Pubic lice are not dangerous to health but are inconvenient for living, itching, discomfort and 'loss of beauty' in sensitive areas if the burn is scratched, sores' - Chinese doctor said.
