A member asked:
Is it possible for pinworms to live in hard constipation stools? or are they only present in soft runny stool?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any stools: Pinworms are not particular about the quality of the stool. They live equally in hard and soft stool. Treat as necessary. All the best.
