If suspecting you are having parasites in stool best would be to confirm it through a stool sample that can get checked for ova and parasites. Usually there are symptoms other than stool changes with parasitic infestation. Your general practitioner is your best resource to coordinate in proper context.

Treatment for worm infestation is fairly easy for the PCP, so see him/her as soon as one can, But more important is prevention of reinfections, For this Lifestyle changes and primary Hygiene are important and should be discussed with the PCP

If you have not travelled outside the USA, you are highly unlikely to have any intestinal parasites, except pinworms. Your doctor can arrange for stool test to make a definitive diagnosis and treat accordingly. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
