Introduction

Introduction to vaginal grasshopper Grasshopper, the common name of Leech, also known as grasshopper, is a genus of creeping worms. The grasshopper is soft and can swim rapidly in the water.

Cause

Vaginal grasshopper

(1) Causes of the disease

When swimming or bathing in the river, the leeches existing in the river are adsorbed in the vulva or vagina, and secrete toxins while sucking blood, causing blood loss and allergic reactions in patients.

(two) pathogenesis

The grasshopper is hermaphrodite, resembling a scorpion, brown or brownish black. It is reddish-brown after blood-sucking. It has more than 100 flat parts. There is a suction cup before and after the wheel body. When sucking blood, use the suction cup on the body to firmly adhere to the skin of the human body. The mucosal surface destroys blood vessels and causes bleeding. When the grasshopper adsorbs the human body, its salivary glands can produce and release a unique secretion of hirudin and histamines that cause blood vessels to dilate, causing skin and systemic reactions. Hirudin has Anticoagulant effect can make blood not easy to coagulate. It has been proved by research that hirudin can not inhibit the blood coagulation effect of platelets, but it can hinder the production of thrombin and reduce the formation of blood coagulation substances, resulting in prolonged blood coagulation time, so when sucking blood The local outflow of blood does not solidify rapidly, so local bleeding occurs, and the secreted histamine can cause skin allergic reactions and even anaphylactic shock in allergic persons.
