According to the medical blog of Chinese media Phoenix Network and Weibo, tests have actually identified several insects in his urine.
Medical staff who launched an investigation into the unusual case estimated that the cause of the problem was poor sanitation.
In particular, it is believed that the environment in which underwear was dried was unsanitary.
Doctors estimated that the worm laid an egg on the patient's underwear, and that the egg hatched, entered the urethra, and was discharged along with urine.
He warned that although such cases are extremely rare, there is a risk of drying underwear around toilets, in poorly ventilated bathrooms, and in humid environments with a lot of bugs.
In particular, flies and moth flies that live in sewers or drains are considered representative causative insects.
They are attracted to feces or pollutants and gather around toilets, sewers, and garbage, and in the process, they can leave eggs that are difficult to see with the naked eye in their underwear.
These insect larval infections may show symptoms similar to other urinary tract diseases.
The main symptoms include ▲ frequent urination ▲ pain and discomfort during urination ▲ discomfort during genital itching and redness ▲ discomfort during sexual relationship ▲ feeling like a paint or a worm crawling ▲ finding larvae in urine or secretions. If left untreated, it can lead to urethritis, vaginitis, cystitis, and papillitis, and the longer the larvae stay in the body, the greater the risk.
Medical staff urged people to wash underwear frequently and avoid drying in toilets or humid and unsanitary places.
He emphasized that it is better to dry it in the sun if possible, and that if you experience unusual symptoms, you should visit a medical institution immediately.
