I think my brother might have tapeworm?

Question

my lil brother freaked out when he took out somthing like a tall worm from the anus but it wasn't moving ,,is it a worm?..vomit :@

yes he is so thin and always feels dizzy

Answer 1

Could be. He should go to the doctor.

Answer 2

He should be checked by a doctor.

A tape worm is flat and will segment and only a portion of the worm comes out through the anus. The worm is still there.

A round worm is long and round.

Answer 3

All of the other answerers have no idea what they are talking about! Tapeworms are very rare and it is very unlikely that he has a tape worm. If you ask a doctor he will more than likey say "no, it's not a tape worm." But we all have intestinal parasites, some microscopic but at times they will get to be up to 10 inches long (I heard). it is not life threatening but it will make you lethargic and dyspeptic. A herbal colon cleanse is recommended for anyone to flush out excess parasites. I recommend "New Body Nutrition herbal colon cleanse system".

Go to the website I listed before resorting to surgery.

I just read the note about him feeling dizzy and being thin.
depending on where you live, it is possible. but this is still one area that holistic medicine is far more capable of treating than traditional western doctors.

Answer 4

I heard on Oprah that usually people who have tape worm lose weight because it consumes most of the calories that you eat. I'm not saying that if he hasnt lost weight that it isn't tape worm though. I'd definitely get him to the doctor because no matter what it is, it should be checked out. I wish you the best.

Answer 5

It may have been something else. What, I'm not sure, but there are other ways. Ask him if he has been having abdominal pain, diarreh, or if he's suffered a loss of appetite. Some other signs are nausea, weight loss, and in some cases, seizures and fever. I'm not saying you should sit around and wait for him to develop a fever, or to suffer s seizure, but I would ask him about the other things. If he's suffering from two or more of those symptoms, then go and see a doctor. There's medicine you can take for treatment.

Answer 6

study the instructions on the kit. some meats have been precooked and consequently are secure. I bear in recommendations while i replaced right into a baby my mom might attempt to maintain us from enjoying in sandboxes and from sitting on the floor through terror of having worms. (through fact all forms of animals run loose interior the yards) as quickly as all we young ones have been given the worms and he or she reported the way she knew replaced into that the little ones saved scratching their butt and selecting their nostril or rubbing their nostril, and so she took us to the healthcare expert, and he or she replaced into outstanding. somebody replied to you which you will see the trojan horse under the exterior, i think of they are speaking approximately ringworm. while people have been genuine skinny in stature it was once a "style of shaggy dog tale" (they have been in simple terms teasing) that persons might say that they had a tapeworm..which might recommend that the tapeworm of their abdomen is ingesting the food and making them skinny. And, back many some years in the past there replaced right into a weight loss software pill that made people skinny and the employer replaced into sued through fact they stumbled on tape worms interior the burden loss software pills. besides, while you're worried you first seek for reaction, and then set an appointment with the healthcare expert.

Answer 7

You should bring it to the doctor if you are worried to make sure, but if it looked like tape and was a worm then it most likely was a tapeworm, it could of been dead it doesnt have to be moving. He could of also swallowed something long that looks like a tapeworm

Answer 8

If it is whitish and it came from his anus...then it is a tape worm indeed. He needs to go to the hospital. Take him asap. God Bless

Answer 9

maybe....to find out if there is still one in there just stick a slab of meat on a table and tell your brother to open his mouth right by the meat...it might take awhile but the worm will come out....i know its gross but its that or surgery im thinking

Answer 10

Yes. Take him to the doctor. A DOCTOR can recommend sergury or other options (drugs, etc.) Since its a parasite, doing nothing can eventually kill him.
