What is a mandola? Pubic lice in women and men

What is "mandowashki"? This is the slang name for pubic lice - tiny insects living on human genitals. They differ significantly from the head lice that cause pediculosis, and reach a length of less than 1.6 mm.

The most common method of infection with masseuses is sexual intercourse. In children, pubic lice are found in the eyebrows or eyelashes - if they are found by a doctor, this circumstance can serve as evidence of violent acts of a sexual nature committed over minors. However, lice can be infected in more harmless ways - for example, through general clothing, bedding or towels.

Pubic lice in women and men feed on blood, and their bites cause severe itching. Treatment usually consists of the use of special creams and lotions sold on the condition of over-the-counter vacation in pharmacies and killing parasites along with the eggs laid.

Symptoms

The main symptom of infection with mandaxis is a strong itch in the genital area. However, these insects can also inhabit other areas of the body, covered with hard hair, including:

• legs;
• chest;
• Armpits;
• Beard or mustache;
• Eyebrows or eyelashes.

When to see a doctor

If you have first-hand knowledge of what a mandowalka is, try to get rid of the problem yourself, using available topical medications and following the instructions in the instructions attached to the medication. Consult your doctor if:

• Specialized drugs proved ineffective in exterminating pubic lice;
• You are pregnant;
• You combed the places of bites to abrasions, and the infection got into the wound.

Complications

Pubic lice in men and women, as a rule, die after applying to the infected areas of the chemist's lotion or gel. If you ignore the problem, you may experience the following complications:

• Skin discoloration. On places of constant bites of mandawa, pale blue spots often appear.
• Secondary infections. If the itch of bites makes you scratch your skin before scratching, a new infection can enter the wound.
• Eye irritation. Patients with pubic lice on eyelashes often suffer from inflammation (conjunctivitis).

Diagnostics

In order to see what a mandolovki is, it is not necessary to be a doctor - it's enough to look closely at the infected area. The presence of lice is determined by their motor activity.

It is possible to diagnose the presence of criminals by finding their eggs (nits). Nevertheless, nits usually attach to hairs and can be detected even after successful treatment. Such eggs are considered dead and accordingly harmless.

Treatment

If the usual lotions and shampoos ("Nix" and others) were not able to destroy your pubic lice, the doctor will prescribe stronger drugs, for example:

• "Malathion." This insecticide is dispensed by prescription. It is applied to the affected areas and washed off after 8-12 hours.
• Ivermectin. This drug is taken once in the amount of two tablets. If a single dose is ineffective, you can take two more pills after ten days.
• Lindane. This is the most dangerous and toxic insecticide, which is prescribed only in the case when all other methods of getting rid of lice did not bring results. To forget for a long time what mandanoids are, the patient rubs Lindan into the affected area and rinses it in four minutes. This drug is not prescribed for pregnant and lactating women, young children, the elderly and those who weigh less than fifty kilograms.

Thorough examination and treatment are subject to all areas of the body with hair, since pubic lice, fleeing insecticides, are able to move from the genitals to other areas. Shaving is not effective in fighting parasites.
