Stomach worms, also called intestinal worms or helminths, are parasites living in the digestive tract, including types like pinworms, roundworms, and hookworms. Pinworms commonly cause itching around the anus, especially at night, which explains your frequent itching.
Since you have had pinworms and stomach worms for a long time with ongoing itching, it’s important to see a doctor for proper treatment. Anti-parasitic medications such as Albendazole are effective in clearing these infections. Your doctor can prescribe the right dose and duration based on your condition.
To help manage and prevent reinfection:
If symptoms continue or worsen, consult a specialist such as an infectious disease doctor or a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and possible stool tests to identify the specific worm type and tailor treatment.
If you want, I can explain how these medications work or what to expect during treatment.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender.
