What are the causes of pubic lice and how to treat them?

Patient's question:

Three months, no known reason. This situation has not improved at all, and I am quite worried about my condition. My family is also very concerned.

Doctor's answer:

Pubic lice are a common sexually transmitted disease caused by parasites found in the genital area. Generally, transmission can occur through contact during sexual activity, sharing underwear, or using bedding, among other ways. Therefore, to prevent infection with pubic lice, personal hygiene must be paid close attention. If infection occurs, shave the pubic hair to eliminate the environment where the lice feed. Then, apply a 25%-50% alcohol extract of wormwood daily twice for 30 days. Afterward, use warm apple cider to apply, which can destroy the adhesive between the lice eggs and pubic hair, making it easier to remove the eggs.
