A member asked:
I have been noticing little white worms in my stools, and my anal area is also sometimes itchy. what do you think i could have?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pinworms: Access virtual consult or notify your doctor for treatment. Enterobius vermicularis are contracted via ingestion after touching contaminated furniture, linens, doorknobs etc. The worms live in the large intestine, but the mother worms travel to the anus to lay eggs at night, which is an itchy experience. Believe it or not, this is common and easily treated.
