Question 1

my butthole itches at night... do i have worms?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Pinworms like to come out at night, lay eggs around the anus, irritating (itchy at night and usually other times too); makes you scratch, get your hands infested, touch your mouth swallow eggs, and get more (yucky, but clever adaptation on their part)
could be other stuff, unrelated.
See your doc, get checked.

Question 2

my butthole itches at night. and i tried to go to the toiled and poop but nothing happens.. what is the problem?

Accepted Answer

Fairly common: This could be several things, most of which are quite common and not alarming. Pruritus ani is rectal/anal irritation and itching (generally worse at night) that can be caused by moisture, yeast, or other mild infections or inflammatory causes. Treatment is generally aimed at ruling out more serious infections (e.g. parasites) and supportive care--perhaps a trial of anti fungal cream or steroid.

Yeast: The most common reason is known among guys as 'jock itch'. This is a fungal dermatitis. And, medication to treat it is readily available at the grocery and drug stores where you live.

Question 5

anal itching for 2 months, dr thought pinworms. prescribed albenza 8 days ago, anus still itches like crazy. should itch have stopped? is it working?

Accepted Answer

Intertrigo/fungal: Likely due to fungal or intertrigo. Pinworms less likely. I would recommend washing 2-3x a day, drying in front of fan, applying very small amount of baking soda. You can try athletes foot spray too. Do this for 2-4 weeks.

Question 6

can worms course anal itching?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: 31 y/o male asks Can worms cause anal itching? Yes, is the simple answer. Just about any worm that inhabits the Digestive System can cause itching but Pinworm is most often the commonest culprit. They lay their eggs in the anal skin folds  while one sleeps  and that can cause intense itching. Easy to treat with OTC medications and best to treat the entire household if possible. If worried See MD

Question 7

i have little white worm like things near my privates and im embarrassed to talk to my doctor about it and sometimes i have anal itching?

Accepted Answer

Possibly pinworms?: A call to one's doctor will help. A person gets pinworms by swallowing pinworm eggs (accidentally). This occurs when she puts her fingers or hands into her mouth after getting an egg or two (or more) on her fingers or under her nails. If pinworms, there is over-the-counter medication (Reese's pyrantel) and also prescription medication (Vermox mebendazole).

Question 8

i am experiencing  hemorrhoids and worms in stool. the following also describes me: anal itching. can pinworms get under the skin as it looks like they're inside the hemorrhoids?

Accepted Answer

Parasites: I have never heard of that occurring. Recommend treating the worms.

Question 9

i am 19 weeks pregnant and saw what looked like a small worm in my stool. i also have some anal itching, should i take pin x?

Accepted Answer

Not yet: What you have seen may not have been a worm. Let your doc or obstetrician know, so that you can have your stool checked for ova and parasites. Do not take any medicine until prescribed.

Question 10

yesterday unexpectedly i got anal itching and i don't know why. what could it be? usually it itches during the morning and night, not the afternoon.

Accepted Answer

Rash or pinworms? : This is a common symptom of a pinworm infection.  It is not life-threatening and easy to treat.  See your doctor and explain what's going on.  You could also have a rash that might need a non-prescription cream or ointment.  Itchiness in that area is common, and a quick visit with the doctor should be diagnostic and helpful.
