Threadworm :: Itchy Anus - Taking Pripsen For Worms
Sep 22, 2005
Have had thread worms on and off. They are a nuisance but are of no ill effect apart from an itchy rear end! I have used Pripsen which has worked well and another form of tablet, the name of which escapes me, but the chemist recommended it when I asked for Pripsen. I am a businessman and list personal hygiene as very important, but these little beggars keep returning every now and again. Just keep taking the tablets!

I have been fighting back and forth with myself whether or not I have thread worms. I've gone to great extents to disinfect my house, scrubbing down everything, changing sheets, getting rid of dust, washing loads of clothing.
I know a common symptom is "itching" at night. I've been getting great sleeps, not itchy at all in the night.
What I am worried about is sometimes I feel a wiggling sensation close to the anus. This happens once in awhile. Yesterday it happened twice, about mid day.
I've done the worm tape test, assessed my stool, and haven't seen any sign of them.
I was itchy yesterday afternoon although I currently have my period and often find that I feel a bit itchy whenever I have my period.

I've had worms since last September which is almost 7 months. The worms are white and small. I've take ovex about 10-15 times in the past 6 months. I've taken pripsen about 4 times. Neither have worked.
My nose has been itching and really bad itching anus which is depressing me. Could this be anything other than threadworms(which I've sent a stool sample and sticky tape test off and all come back negative).

I've been constipated for a week and have a very itchy anus. I have just been the toilet and my poo had a lot of white streaks in it. I'm worried that I may have worms. On my toilet paper there was something (not poo!) that was quite long (3cm ish). It was quite thick and pale in colour.. I just had a look down there and there were pale coloured bits around my anus where it's itching. I've also had white clumpy vaginal discharge the last few days which I assumed was thrush (I suffer from thrush a lot) but I had no vaginal itching (I usually have severe vaginal itching with thrush). I've just come on my period so I don't know whether I still have the discharge.
Extra details I had sex last weekend and I always get constipated after sex. Also I've had a cold all week so I didn't know whether it could just be mucus in my stools (but would I be itching as well??) Also I should note I had very bad stomach pains after seeing my boyfriend last weekend, however I don't know if it was just wind as I tend to hold in my farts when I'm there (I know I shouldn't do that but my boyfriend hates farting!!)

I hate to think I might not be able to ever truly get rid of these pinworms. It started around October of 2014 where my butt was itchy and thought it couldn't be normal since it happened almost every night. I went to the Dr and explained to him what was happening and even said to him that maybe it was parasites. I didn't know at the time if it was or not but being from a Hispanic culture where if your butt is itchy you assume it's parasites. The Dr just said it was normal that some people had an itchy anus and gave me some cream to put on that area. Fast forward to march where I had to go back in because it didn't stop and had another Dr check and said maybe it was hemorroides so I was prescribed something for that. Then the itchiness came back and I FELT something squirm in my butt I was horrified, I checked and yup, it was a pinworm. I went back to the Dr and assured her I had worms so she prescribed me some pills. I toOK one already and am suppose to take another in 2 weeks. But the itchiness is horrible, I have kids who sometimes stay at their father's house and feel horrible that if they have them then the bed sheets or anything else might be infected. I told him to wash everything and explained how important it was, but he won't do the whole cleaning every day thing. I have washed all my sheets and towels and kids stuffed animals and had my carpet washed and everything but I work and go the class at night and can't wash every single day the way it's suggested. I've been changing underwear and washing daily and going crazy with hand sanitizer and lysol but I read lysol doesn't do anything. I was spraying lysol ever day and night all over my house but I guess that does nothing? I was wondering if maybe rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle might help instead? I need to know how else to keep the house clean if I cant wash the sheets daily. I am going insane. I want to get rid of these little monsters!! My mom told me to take a garlic clove and grind it up with a bit of this liquor called Aguardiente which is like liquorice but just a few drops and eat that early on the morning like 4 am or 5 am before I ate anything else, that what her grandma gave her when she was a young girl to prevent and get rid of parasites.

last week, i felt itchiness in my anus. I felt for what was making it itchy because it was like something was moving, like a bug or something. Then i pulled out a worm that was about a foot long. it didn't have any 'sections', it was pinkish white and its ends were pointed, like a sharpened pencil. I then took mebendazole (antiox), all 100 ml of the liquid. After that, i had diarrhea for 4 days and a mild fever the day after taking the medication. The itching stopped, however. On the 5th day, my stool became solid again, BUT i noticed that i am starting to itch down there again. I took a stool test and they found that there were no parasites. The itching persisted so i took another 100ml dose of mebendazole. I noticed that when i sat in the toilet, a dead worm that was very small and whitish/transparent ish (like what pinworms look like?) was found. I'm not sure if it was a worm or my imagination because it was very small and hard to decipher since it was floating in the water. I'm not sure what to do now coz doctors are saying i tested negative for parasites, but i still feel the same kind of itching. I already took mebendazole last night but the itching is still present. what should i do?

I found thread worms last night and was up all night with them, I had to go to work at 7am this morning so I'm very irritable. I've been looking after my brother's son for the past 2 weeks so I think maybe that's how I've got them. I heard that vaseline is a good solution, (applying it to your anus) I was wondering if the females can't get out of your anus to lay their eggs due to the vaseline, where will they lay them? I heard that they tend to lay them inside of you if you cover your anus in vaseline or pop a garlic clove up your back passage, so they start their life cycle again, is this true? I'm on the Meb tablets and am fed up of waiting for them to go, me and my boyfriend are going on holidays in 5 days and I don't want to be riddled with worms.

I was diagnosed with herpes last week but also in the past week I have had very itchy urinary tract all the way to the anus ,,the only way to soothe it is to squeeze itch my penis if that makes sense..I was on antibiotics and antiviral meds and it's been a week since I finished with them both ,and now this itchy urinary tract is here and it makes it hard to have sex with my wife for my penis is itchy inside the track and so it makes for not good sex.

I'm a 33 year old male. I had unprotected sex 5 months ago. I've been tested for HIV, herpes, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis- all negative. My doctor, as well as a urologist, have both said I am fine. They say that it's related to stress because the unprotected sex was not with my wife (she's been tested and is negative too). The problem is that I still have burning in my penis and scrotum and tingling in my toes. I don't have any discharge and it doesn't hurt to pee. The burning is pretty constant. The itchy, warm anus is occasional. I've taken 3 different antibiotics and one nerve damage drug and no change.

It may be now that you are free of the actual worms that you are suffering from delusional parasitosis. I have read of many cases where the person suffers all the irritation but they do not have the worms.
It may be that you could benefit from some anti-depressants.
I have been taking them, and although my situation if not the same as yours, I have really benefited from the.
No sympathy from the doctor because the swabs came back negative, and he felt that I should be grateful for the result that the anti-depressants gave me.
I will however, in the future when I have given my body a rest from both medication and 'so called' herbal remedies, I will try again.
As you have stated no-one understand the constant itching and irritation, and they have little sympathy.

I first had worms young and around a year later I felt exactly the same. I keep taking the medicine but after a while it comes back. Is this serious?

As a kid I think I was 11? I was once pooping and had wurms at some occurrence I even pood out something weird and round that at the time I was sure was an organ. The last thing I never knew really what it was. But as a kid I thought it was my kidney haha!
Anyway moving back to the wurms I have had some worms in my poo at that time. I never paid it attention and as I got older I kept checking but couldn't find any wurms! The thing is I don't know if this has healed itself or if the wurms are still active and if so what to do.
I read you can get some medication take that and after two weeks take it again (because of the eggs.) I also read putting petroleum jelly on the buttocks can kill the eggs. What should I do?
Let's say I have no wurms can it harm to take that certain medication? I am quite disgusted by it and my memory is not as good anymore I am almost 22 now. So I would like to put an end to the wurm infection if I should have one.
Can you have wurms? Even if they do not show up in your poop and can I then with 100% certainty say that I have wurms and what medication should I go for then?

I'm an 18 year old female and i'm not sure if I have threadworms or not. I first had them when I was 15. Don't know how or why because i'm a pretty clean person. A few years past and then two months ago I somehow contracted them again. So I went to the doctors got tablets did the ritual of deep cleaning my bedroom, changing bed sheets everyday and washing at least 3-4 times of day (because it makes me feel horrible knowing I have them) Everything was fine and then about, 3 weeks ago I got this terrible itch once again. I had some tablets left over from the last time so I took my first and nothing improve and i've taken the second literally half an hour ago.
What i'm confused about is, i've never actually seen these pesky things this time around because you can usually see them in your faeces etc. and i've also checked and seen nothing in that region. (sorry for the tmi.) I don't know, if it's just physiological and nothing's actually there? Because I have anxiety disorder and have for many years now.

I'm 14 and I could see worm-like things in my vision.It's been going on for a few years.They're kinda like clear,segmented lines,often forming some kind of clutch.Their numbers seem to have increased and the sizes of each 'worm' is noticeably larger than usual too.I have been seeing them more frequently.What are these,really?

This should be a title to a horror movie, not the title of a post,in another attempt to gain some insight to what is inhabiting the largest organ of my body.
Am I really delusional? the dermatologist diagnosed me as being a cracked egg,I'm a victim of domestic violence and therefore,my brain has made up an imaginary situation, to take me away from the emotional trauma...he says I may also be psychotic, I've mutilated my skin,picked and scraped away at myself,simply because I'm convinced that I am unworthy of my vulnerable protection,my defenseless,pink skin...NO.
I HAVE SOMETHING IN MY DAMN PORES.
That man....he scared me more than any violence, domestic or random! I'm looking to find a slight insight,other than Demodex,scabies,botfly,or the largest bodied Demodex...the one that causes mange in dogs. They're very small but damn it...they're very visible! I thought I had pinpointed where they hail from predominantly... I was wrong. I researched myself...tried different creams...permethrin, high dose cortisone,tea tree...still popping out of the open pores,sometimes sebum sometimes alone. Thread like but also grain of rice like,can't see them move,think they may be in my mouth as well. When I haven't slept for 24 hours( I work a lot) they bite(?) And it feels like I walked through fiberglass,then they come out! Yep,uninvited terrorists and I'm the host. What is this?

For several months I have been experiencing digestive problems such as excessive burping, trapped wind, constipation, reflux and a lot of undigested food in my stools, even though I have stopped eating gluten, dairy, seeds and nuts. I have also recently been diagnosed with iron deficiency and have also been experiencing sinus congestion, excessive mucus in my throat and anxiety. On the advice of a naturopath over the last few days I have been taking magnesium-oxide as a colon cleanse of sorts. Today in my stools and on the toilet paper I noticed quite a few black string looking things, they were quite thin like a piece of thread and were not moving. The smallest were 0.5 cm and one or two were maybe 1.5 cm. Am I right in thinking these must be some sort worm? Could they be thread worms even though they're black and I have no itching? Any suggestions? Would it be inappropriate to take some into my doctor to what they are? I travelled to South America last year so I guess I could have picked something up there.

for about/8 months I have been suffering from diarrhea and I have found on many occasions what appears to be worms. I went to Morocco in sept 14 but this started a couple of months before. Sometimes I have to go poo immediately after I've eaten. I have done a parasite test with my GP by sending a sample of my poo off with what I thought was worms in, but the test came back negative.

I am currently feeling a weird tingling throughout my body, mostly at the top of my stomach. It feels like something moving! it sometimes gives me nipping almost biting pains.I also have got a feeling that something is currently latched onto the back of my throat that I can not wash away or get rid of, it has been like this for the last 24 hours. Call me crazy but I feel that I can pull it back down into my stomach ( but something is still latched to my throat). After not concentrating on this I then get a bit lump at the back of my throat. I am almost Gipping with how close it is to my mouth.
After a lot of playing with my throat, swallowing I managed to "pull" one down into my stomach.I can now feel this moving around again, it feels like it is trying to get back up and at times nips. Swallowing is still hard and I just feel sick. Could you please tell me what you think it could be?
