Mr. Liu is 39 years old and has been working in Beijing. Although his family is anxious about his marriage, there has been no suitable marriage partner.

Some time ago on a blind date, I met a woman of the same age, and the two were able to talk more easily, so they rushed to talk about marriage. For nearly half a month, Mr. Liu always felt itching in his private parts. He thought it was a skin problem that he didn't care about, but it didn't get better after a week, and it became more serious.

He had to rush to the hospital, and was later diagnosed with pubic lice. The doctor clipped out 16 pubic lice from Mr. Liu's abdominal hair.
