Patient's question:
At night, insects crawl out from the anus, and there are also small white worms during bowel movements.Past treatment and effectiveness: I have taken deworming medication and betel nuts for a week, but there are still small worms when I defecate. How can this be cured?
What kind of help do I need: How long does it take to recover after taking the medication?
Doctor's answer:
Intestinal parasites should first be addressed by enhancing care and improving hygiene, always maintaining clean hands and anal areas to prevent adverse effects. Treatment can involve medications like Enterobius Vermiculatus Tablets and Pinworm Eradication Tablets, along with applying pinworm ointment externally. Herbal remedies can also be used in combination for better results. Most cases can improve with proper management.It is advisable to eat small, frequent meals, take medication on schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and strictly avoid all spicy and irritating foods. Opt for easily digestible, soft, low-fiber, and non-irritating foods instead.
