This week’s discussion I will like to discuss about a STD called pubic lice. Pubic lice is exactly the name with lice on your hair in the private area. Pubic lice believe it or not, about 3 millions of people in the United States get infected with pubic lice ever year.
Pubic lice symptoms consist of intense itching in the genital area, super small bugs that are tan or whitish-gray in oval, yellow, white or pearly color and are darker when they are full of blood. You may also see dark or bluish spots on the skin where they feed, feeling feverish, run-down or irritable. This does not cause serious health problems but could be uncomfortable. Could easily get rid of it over the counter medicine. Getting pubic lice does not mean you’re dirty or have nothing to do with hygiene or cleanliness.
These insects are tiny and they look like crabs you see at the beach. They live on the skin, coarse hairs hat are around the genitals which includes eyelashes, eyebrows, chest hair, armpit, beards and mustaches that feed on skin for blood. Pubic lice spread easily during sexual contact or have personal contact with someone who has them. Additionally, sometimes pubic lice are spread by using an infected person’s clothes, towels or bed. These tiny insects does not like to live on the top of your head as head lice doesn’t show up in the pubic area either.
Person could treat pubic lice with over the counter medicine or the doctor’s office. To confirm you have contracted pubic lice, check for little crabs eggs stuck to the base of the pubic hair, look for blood bites on the skin, and intense itchiness.

Re: Week 5 | Discussion – Sexual Transmitted Diseases (STDs) & Substance Abuse
I choose to talk about STI’s (Sexual Transmitted Disease) in adolescence. One of the most common disease in the age group of 14-9 years of age is HPV (Human Papillomavirus).
HPV is an infection that causes warts in various parts of the body depending on the strain. It is said that in many cases they dont have any symptoms but can still infect others through sexual contact. 
Signs and Symptoms, no actual symptoms but it’s not limited to the warts on the genitals or surrounding skin. 
Treatments for HPV are none, there is no cure for the virus and warts may go away on its own. Treatment focuses on removing the warts . There is  different medical procedures that cm be done to remove these warts. 
Loop Electrosurgical Excision procedure: Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) uses a wire loop heated by electric current to remove cells and tissue in a woman’s lower genital tract. It is used as part of the diagnosis and treatment for abnormal or cancerous conditions. The lower genital tract includes the cervix and vagina.
Freezing: It’s s a procedure that uses a freezing gas (liquid nitrogen) that destroy precancerous cells on the cervix. The cervix, the lowest part of the womb or uterus, opens into the vagina. When these unhealthy cells are destroyed, the body can replace them with new, healthy cells.
Cervical Conization: Which is a surgical removal of cs. Some because they has terrible best fiends  .Another great factor can be facing aggression be , negative comments are trying to please others of happy  you really are.   

Based on what you have learned and your own research what do you think would be feasible solutions to Medicare raising costs?
