Niu Niu is a 4-year-old child, and his parents are usually busy at work and have no time to take him.
After the summer vacation came, Niu Niu could not go to kindergarten, so he could only send him to his rural hometown for his grandmother to take. The cows and cows who returned to his rural hometown were very new to everything, and his grandmother accompanied him around the clock, playing games with him, watching TV with him, and every day he was very happy. However, not long after, the cow had abnormal eye rubbing symptoms, and the adult asked him that it was itchy eyes. Grandma went to the village health center to get him eye drops, but after the drip, it still had no effect, and he kept rubbing his eyes.
Cow Cow kept crying when he called his parents, saying that there were bugs crawling in his eyes. Mom and Dad quickly took the cow to the hospital for examination, and after examination, they found that there were many small bugs crawling at the base of the cow's eyelashes, as well as a whole row of oval eggs. The doctor looked closely at the bugs and found that they looked very much like pubic lice, but how could such a young child have pubic lice?
It turned out that the cow and cow grandmother had recently gone to the hospital gynecological clinic for treatment, and the cow and cow mother suspected that the grandmother also suffered from this disease and caused the cow and cow infection. Grandma Cow then checked in the hospital and found that she had pubic lice. After finding the cause, the treatment was much more convenient, and the grandchildren were treated together in the hospital. After returning home, the family carried out a comprehensive disinfection of the rural hometown, and they still have palpitations about what happened this time.
Many people have no concept of pubic lice, only heard of head lice, what is the difference between the two? Let's take a look.
1. What is pubic lice? What is the difference between it and head lice?
Both head lice and pubic lice survive by sucking human blood, but there are some differences between the two.
In general, head lice will be more common in children, only appear in the scalp where the hair is luxuriant, once the head lice are developed, the patient will have a local obvious itching sensation. But head lice generally die within 36 hours after leaving the human body.
Pubic lice are more common in young men and women during sexual activity, can appear in pubic hair, eyebrows, beard, scalp and anal hair and other parts, such as cattle and cattle appear in eyelash parasitism, although rare, but also exist. Unlike head lice, pubic lice survive for more than 36 hours after leaving the body, so the risk of infection is higher.
There is a great connection between the occurrence of pubic lice and sexual life infection, but clinically many people, like cattle and cattle, have no experience of sexual life at all, why do these people get infected with pubic lice?
Second, without sex, why are there still pubic lice?
In fact, the occurrence of pubic lice is not only a way of sexual transmission, in addition to sexual transmission, direct or indirect contact with infected items, but also easy to cause infection.
The first is sexual transmission, which is also the main way to spread pubic lice, when in intercourse with patients infected with pubic lice, pubic lice will find a new host during contact between the two people, and then parasitize on the new host.
Direct transmission refers to cross-infection after sharing bedding with an infected person; Indirect transmission, on the other hand, refers to the contamination of personal items used by infected people, such as towels, toilets, bed sheets and underwear, and healthy people come into contact with these contaminated items and eventually become infected.
How to cut off the "source" of pubic lice?
After infection with pubic lice, it will bring a lot of impact to normal life, how do we predict the occurrence of infection? Do these 4 things well.
1. Shave off pubic hair
As the name suggests, pubic lice is a disease that mainly grows in the pubic hair area, and the main place for the reproduction of its eggs is also the pubic hair, and shaving it off can make the pubic lice have no hiding place. It should be noted that shaved pubic hair should be burned in time to avoid allowing pubic lice to survive outside the body and infect others.
2. sanitize clothing thoroughly
Items that have been touched by infected people should be strictly disinfected, and can be boiled in hot water, disinfected with disinfectant or hung in the sun. Be careful to completely disinfect your clothes and closely contacted towels to avoid re-infection after treatment because your clothes are not clean.
3. Rational use of drugs
After illness, patients should carry out regular medication under the guidance of professional doctors, and the specific drugs used must follow the doctor's instructions, and must not purchase drugs to use. In addition, in the process of medication must not be interrupted, even if the symptoms are alleviated, we must insist on medication, blindly stopping the drug can easily lead to repeated diseases and cannot be completely cured.
4. Refuse to have sex
In the process of treatment, it is necessary not to have intercourse, otherwise it is easy to lead to cross-infection again, and the harm is also harmful to oneself. Generally, the disease is obtained by the husband and wife together, so to treat together, both parties need absolute abstinence in the treatment process.
Pubic lice are unfamiliar to most people, but this does not mean that it does not exist, in life everyone needs to do a good job of preventing the disease, avoid unclean sex or contact with some items that may be infected. Of course, some people who have been infected do not have to be arrogant, and they must actively go to the hospital to consult the advice of professional doctors and carry out standardized treatment.
