Worm unlikely: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you, however, it is very very unlikely that you pulled out a "worm". There are no cases of dracunculus in Canada. Let it be and listen to your doctor. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
