I have worms in my anus, little ones, what are they?

Question

When i pooped last night, little white wormlike things come out of me and they cause me to itch. Some of them are dead and some are alive. What the heck are they? Are they dangerous? Should I ask a doctor about them

Answer 1

Yes I would go to the doctor and get something for them. It's just worms. Poor you!

Answer 2

It might be tapeworms or other types of worms. It can usually be acquired when you have for example like an open wound on your feet then you bare-footedly walk on soiled ground. Don't worry, you can ask at a local pharmacy store for an antibiotic for internal parasites (worms). Those antibiotics will take out those worms through bowels. But if the parasites makes you really feel really sick, then maybe should consult a doctor. It's not uncommon to have internal parasites.

Answer 3

Sounds like tapeworms which are relatively common in children. They are not dangerous but need to be treated. You can get a tablet called ovex from your chemist or drinks called pripsen. The tablet is a one off treatment but you will need to make sure you dont re-infect yourself (dont bite nails, wash hands after using the toilet) after taking it. The drinks are 2 drinks taken 14 days apart to kill worms and any eggs that may have been left behind.

Answer 4

You dont have to go to the doctors there are pills you can buy from the chemist, my son had them a few months ago.
You need to be carefull to wash your hands b4 preparing food etc.
But once you take the pills (oh and also your whole family should take them too)
They will clear up in a matter of days
check your stools regularly after that just to be sure
Good luck

Answer 5

They sound like threadworms, relatively harmless but can be contagious. Go and speak to your pharmacist as all anthelmintic preparations (anti-worm) are available over the counter. In the meantime make sure you wash all your linen on hot washes to get rid of the eggs, scrub under your nails to get rid of eggs and have a warm bath. this loosens any eggs present. They are quite common so don't feel bad just make sure your hygiene is tip-top as they will re-infect you via the faecal oral route.

Answer 6

Why is she "white trash" for having pin worms? LMAO
Ask your mom, I bet she'll tell you that you've had them once about a time. Some people get them and don't even know sometimes. So get a life kidling's. :)
Back to the OP.


You have Pins worms.
They're more common in kids but adults get them also.
Pin worms are small, white worms that live in the intestines. .

You need to go the doctor to get a prescription to kill them.

Answer 7

You have PARASITES!: GO IMMEDIATLEY TO THE DOCTOR! and start medication.

Roundworm

Roundworm (Ascaris lumbricoides)

Ascaris lumbricoides is the largest nematode (roundworm) parasitizing the human intestine. Immature or adult A.lumbricoides are sometimes passed in stools. Adult males measure 15-30 cm in length by 0.3-0.8 cm in diameter and have a ventrally curved tail; adult females measure 20-35 cm in length by 0.5 cm in diameter. Adult worms live in the lumen of the small intestine. A female may produce approximately 200,000 eggs per day, which are passed with the feces . Unfertilized eggs may be ingested but are not infective. Fertile eggs embryonate and become infective after 18 days to several weeks , depending on the environmental conditions (optimum: moist, warm, shaded soil). After infective eggs are swallowed , the larvae hatch , invade the intestinal mucosa, and are carried via the portal, then systemic circulation to the lungs . The larvae mature further in the lungs (10 to 14 days), penetrate the alveolar walls, ascend the bronchial tree to the throat, and are swallowed . Upon reaching the small intestine, they develop into adult worms . Between 2 and 3 months are required from ingestion of the infective eggs to oviposition by the adult female. Adult worms can live 1 to 2 years.

Pinworm (Enterobius vermicularis)

The nematode Enterobius vermicularis (previously Oxyuris vermicularis) also called human pinworm. (Adult females: 8 to 13 mm, adult male: 2 to 5 mm.) Humans are considered to be the only hosts of E. vermicularis. A second species, Enterobius gregorii, has been described and reported from Europe, Africa, and Asia. For all practical purposes, the morphology, life cycle, clinical presentation, and treatment of E. gregorii is identical to E. vermicularis.Eggs are deposited on perianal folds . Self-infection occurs by transferring infective eggs to the mouth with hands that have scratched the perianal area . Person-to-person transmission can also occur through handling of contaminated clothes or bed linens. Enterobiasis may also be acquired through surfaces in the environment that are contaminated with pinworm eggs (e.g., curtains, carpeting). Some small number of eggs may become airborne and inhaled. These would be swallowed and follow the same development as ingested eggs. Following ingestion of infective eggs, the larvae hatch in the small intestine and the adults establish themselves in the colon . The time interval from ingestion of infective eggs to oviposition by the adult females is about one month. The life span of the adults is about two months. Gravid females migrate nocturnally outside the anus and oviposit while crawling on the skin of the perianal area . The larvae contained inside the eggs develop (the eggs become infective) in 4 to 6 hours under optimal conditions . Retroinfection, or the migration of newly hatched larvae from the anal skin back into the rectum, may occur but the frequency with which this happens is unknown.

Answer 8

Have you ate a pork chop lately?Was it cooked well done? You can get worms from eating not cooked all the way pork.You have to go to the docs,for real. I have heard of getting worms but I have never seen them and sure hope I never do!! Good luck on your worms!!

Answer 9

i cant remember what they are called but it comes from poor hygene. not in a sense that you dont wash but when girls wipe they wipe from back to front and becuase a womans bits are clsoer to her anus than a mans there is more chance that u can transfer germs whether u think ur clean or not. from experience i wud recommend wiping from front to back. making extra care to clean ur bum. wot they do is the mum worm comes out at nite and lays her eggs around ur bum which is why they itch then they go back in. so i wud suggest saving ur pooping for late at nite when they come out then u will poop most out then clean as far in and around ur bum as u wud like. i found that they went away in about a week. if this fails see a doctor. but its not gross or embarassing or unhygenic its just one of those things that happen.

Answer 10

Go and see the doctor. I wouldn't worry about them, I suffered a few years ago whilst working in Cyprus (I was in my mid 30s then and so embarassed I couldn't tell my wife!). Anyway, after chatting with work colleagues, they told me its very common in warm climates where we indulge in lots of BBQs, eating partially cooked meat etc!
The doc will probably give you a few pills and you'll be right as rain in days!

Answer 11

these are worms and itch like crazy especially at night and cos you scratch them they spread. Go to your doctors who can provide cream and this problem will soon be done.
