Private life hygiene: washing your feet washes away sexually transmitted diseases

　　Mr. Zhou is engaged in foreign trade business and is 35 years old.

　　Starting last month, Mr. Zhou's right foot started to itch terribly, and it didn't get better for a week. He looked carefully and saw that there were two granulation-like things on his big toe, which were light red. If you scratched them with your hands, red bloodshot eyes would appear.

　　Really unable to bear it any longer, Mr. Zhou had no choice but to go Hospital Saw it skin Department, the doctor’s diagnosis confused him: “You have genital warts, a type of sexually transmitted diseases。”

　　I usually keep my private life in check, but who would have thought that I was tricked into washing my feet?

　　After the test results came out, Mr. Zhou couldn't believe it, "I have always been very strict in my private life, how could I get this disease? ”

　　The doctor who received the diagnosis checked again and found that Mr. Zhou did not have similar symptoms on his genitals. So, what was the problem?

　　The doctor and Mr. Zhou chatted for a while and found the most likely cause: foot washing.

　　Mr. Zhou said that he likes foot baths very much and goes there once or twice a week. This habit has been maintained for two years. "Oh my god, foot baths can wash out sexually transmitted diseases." ”

　　The doctor told Mr. Zhou that it takes a long time to treat genital warts, and it also depends on the individual's physical constitution when he will recover. He can only observe while treating.

　　Holding the medical certificate, Mr. Zhou was about to cry but had no tears.

　　The combination of these three conditions may lead to the spread of the virus

　　Foot bath can relax the body and relieve fatigue. More and more foot bath shops are opening. Some shops have to wait in line during prime time. But now, this favorite way of leisure has become a channel for spreading sexually transmitted diseases. Why is this?

　　The doctor said that people who take a foot bath have wounds on their feet, have low immunity, and the technicians have viral germs on their hands or tools. These three conditions combined may cause the foot bath user to become infected. disease。

　　There is another situation that is more dangerous.

　　“You may have no wounds on your feet originally, but due to the excessive force of the footbath technician or poor pedicure equipment, it is easy to cause tiny wounds on the skin, which are so small that they cannot be seen by the naked eye, but they can still spread germs. ”said the doctor.

　　syphilis, AIDS , Hepatitis can also be transmitted through foot baths

　　I learned from many foot bath shops that equipment is generally wiped with alcohol, and in hospitals, such equipment is disinfected with professional equipment.

　　“Pedicures are the easiest to spread because pedicure knives are particularly prone to breaking the skin. ”Doctors said that the cupping, nail clipping, and pedicure tools in foot bath shops are generally not professionally disinfected. They have just been used by one customer and then serve the next customer. In this way, the virus can easily spread.

　　In addition to genital warts, doctors say that syphilis, AIDS, and hepatitis can also be transmitted through foot baths.

　　“Foot baths generally cause more plantar warts, which can be seen every day. This is a common skin disease caused by viral infection, and it is much less difficult to treat. ”

　　There is something on the feet during foot bath blister , must not break through

　　In fact, not only ear picking and foot bathing are at risk of contracting the disease, but haircuts and manicures may also cause skin wounds.

　　Especially manicures are particularly prone to tinea manuum and tinea pedis.

　　Doctors remind everyone not to go for a foot bath when there are wounds on your feet. Even if there are no wounds, you should be cautious or choose a regular store.

　　It is important to note that when you take a foot bath and find a small blister on your foot, the waiter will usually offer to pop it for you. This is definitely very dangerous, because once the blister pops, it will leave a wound on the skin.
