Pubic lice are mainly spread through sexual transmission and indirect contact.
1. Sexual transmission: Sexual behavior is the main way of spreading pubic lice, the external genital area will be in direct contact with the pathogens during sexual behavior, and will be infected by contacting with the patients who are already infected with pubic lice.
2. Indirect contact transmission: secondly, pubic lice can also be transmitted through contact with personal items such as clothes, towels and blankets contaminated by pubic lice. Therefore, the appearance of pubic lice may be caused by contact with items that are contaminated with pubic lice in daily life.
You should actively seek medical treatment for pubic lice, use personal utensils separately, boil and sterilize underwear and bed sheets, and expose to sunlight. To minimize cross contamination, treatment should be carried out as early as possible, and sexual partners should also be examined and treated at the same time.
