Symptoms of Pinworms
The main symptom of pinworm infection is anal itching, also known as Pruritis Ani. The itching is usually worse at night. The intensity of itching varies from a slight tickling to a crawling sensation, and severe itching. If the worms move to the vaginal area, then it may lead to vaginal itching. Itching often leads to a restless or disturbed sleep. Along with the symptoms listed above, irritability, grinding of teeth may also be present. In some cases, one feels abdominal pain and nausea. Other symptoms include loss of weight, bed wetting and painful urination. However, about one-third of the cases of pinworm infection present themselves without a symptom.
How Does a Person Get Pinworm Infection?
Pinworm infection is contracted by swallowing or inhaling pinworms eggs. Consuming contaminated food or drink, or touching a surface contaminated with pinworm eggs – then putting the same fingers in the mouth – is one of the leading causes of the infection. On swallowing, these eggs go into the intestine, hatch there, and grow into adult worms. The female pinworms then move to the anus and lay eggs. Anal itching occurs at this stage. When the patient scratches the anal area, the eggs stick to the fingers and get under the fingernails. From here, they may get transferred to the mouth again or contaminate surfaces and objects like toys. It is from these surfaces or objects that they get passed on to others.

Dr. Sharma,
I have parasites…. PERIOD. I can’t find a doctor to treat them. They always say delusional….I am a practicing psychotherapist and NOT delusional. I’m hoping homeopathic medicine will help. Pinworms are my first supposition because of Anal itching, vaginal itching, up to 1/2 inch long white spots quite noticeable when I wear black underwear. Always the same shape, not a vaginal discharge type of marking.
BUT this same shape is seen all over body, noted when I wear black. I have sores on my body and when I scratch, they come off and always the same shape, I look at them with my iPhone magnified. (these are red though but always an oblong c shape, with sharp suckers (?)). They are in my eyes as well (white but same shape) and the eye doctors totally ignores, invalidate me (I have obvious clear photos). I’ve been to dermatologist, gastroenterologist, and all types of doctors but always the same rejection. 23 doctors total. Anyhow, these things bite me all over my body, especially at night, I’ve had tremendous weight loss, my dogs are affected, my hair is falling out….. weirdly, this “shape” although larger can be seen as a swelling under my skin, on my face and body and has created “dent like”, ugly disfigurements……they are basically killing me. So, I’m not sure exactly what parasite (s) I have but ANY help would be appreciated. Any homeopathic remedy should be better than nothing at all.
Desperately seeking,
Lee

Hello Dr Sharma
I believe i have had thread worms now for nearly 2 years. I get constant severe itchy anus, to the extent that i scratch it so bad, it becomes to sore even to touch. I get,( what i used to believe was sweat) a lot of sticky substance around the anus area (even during the day) and this makes the itching even worse.
I have tried over the counter Ovex loads of times now and, followed all the hygiene recommendations but, none of it has worked permanently for me. I am a 60 year old man in very good health apart from this terrible problem. Could you please advise what i can take to get rid of this .
Kind regards
Steve
