Patient's question:
Lately, when I come home from work, I've been feeling itchy down there, as if there were bugs crawling inside. When I took a bath at night, I specifically checked carefully and noticed something moving in the pubic hair area, like bugs. I thought it might be because my underwear wasn't clean, but the itching still persisted on the third day. What should I do about gynecological problems?Doctor's answer:
Considering it might be pubic lice, it is a contagious disease, mainly spread through infection. To treat pubic lice, shaving and using sulfur ointment are recommended. Underwear and pants should be boiled or ironed. Generally, it is advised to follow this treatment for 1-2 months. Applying the ointment 3-5 times a day can help cure it. It is essential to remove the pubic hair to eliminate the living space for the lice. In addition to seeking timely medical treatment for gynecological diseases, patients should maintain a positive attitude towards the illness. Only in this way can they reduce their immune system and strengthen their belief in fighting the disease. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care, focusing on light foods and avoiding irritating or cold foods, believing that this will surely drive away gynecological diseases.
