Do not worry about that. If you truly have pin worms in the anal area, the symptom will be not for seconds and it is almost always at night time. Good luck.

Why do I still feel itchiness (for some seconds, sometimes quite harsh, nearly every night) after treating pinworms with Vermox 2 (22) times, and following strict hygiene? Is it normal? Last Vermox was 1 week ago, have not seen any worms in my poo?
After 2 Vermox treatments I still feel itchiness in my anal area for a short period of time (some seconds, but quite harsh) every night. Good (hand) hygiene, frequent washing, etc. have been maintained for 8 weeks now. Why won't the itching stop?
I've been treated with Vermox for pinworms, last one was about 2 weeks ago. However, sometimes i still feel a slight itching, once felt a harsh one, but only for 2 secs. Extreme hygiene, etc. was maintained. Could there be any other reason for this?
Why do I keep getting pinworms every 3 months, even though I respect all hygiene norms and do the vermox treatment? How can I get rid of them definitively? Can someone get immunity to them?
I got pinworms and did the 2dose vermox treatment, after 3 months I noticed them again. I did a 3-dose treatment but after 3 months I got them again. The day before I had intercourse with my bf (no anal nor oral, not living together), is he at risk?
