Does having a lot of pubic hair lead to pubic lice?

Patient's question:

I always feel uncomfortable and not in the best spirits. Could it be that I have pubic lice because I have a lot of pubic hair?

Doctor's answer:

Pubic lice are skin parasites that have nothing to do with the amount of pubic hair. They are primarily transmitted through direct contact if someone else has them. They are usually caused by the recurrence of lice or eggs. If bitten, itching symptoms may reappear. If you have no discomfort, it means you don't have pubic lice, and there is no need to worry. Pay attention to hygiene and change your clothes frequently to prevent the recurrence of pubic lice.
