Patient's question:
I've been feeling particularly itchy in the pubic hair area for a while now. When I looked closely, I could see some tiny-like things, which felt quite unsettling. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it's pubic lice. Could you please tell me about the treatment options for pubic lice?Doctor's answer:
Shave off the pubic hair. Undergarments, menstrual pads, and foot soaking utensils should be boiled and sterilized, and always maintain cleanliness. During this period, do not have sexual intercourse with your boyfriend or husband to avoid it also causing pubic lice infection. You can apply sulfur ointment for treatment. It is recommended to go to a formal hospital for a thorough examination, get diagnosed, and then receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Pay close attention to your hygiene.
