A member asked:

I have just found pinworms in my vagina and anus. if i get treated for this, will the medication cure the vaginal worms as well as the anal ones? how long will it take before i am safe to have sex again

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Troublesome pinworms: Visit this amazing CDC site to learn more about pinworms: http://www.cdc.gov/parasites/pinworm/ You should be able to be 'cured' easily with a medicine your doc gave you (mebendazole). The key is your partner and the environment - where did these eggs come from and how to AVOID re-infection. Eggs can last 2 to 3 weeks- and you need a second round of medication at that time, incase anything's alive
