Patient's question:
My daughter just turned three years old. A few months ago, at night (while lying in bed sleeping), she shouted that the area below her was painful. I opened her labia minora and found a little white substance, so I wiped it with a towel. After a while, she shouted that it hurt again. When I looked again, I found a small white insect inside the inner wall of her labia minora.Doctor's answer:
Roundworms are the largest parasitic nematodes in the human intestinal tract, with an infection rate exceeding 70%. The prevalence is higher in rural areas than in urban areas and higher in children than in adults. Children are more likely to develop intestinal parasitic infections because they often put unwashed fingers or hands, or unclean objects, into their mouths or near their mouths, making the probability far greater than that of adults. The following methods can be used to treat roundworms in children's intestines: There are many drugs available for treating roundworm infections, with high efficacy and few side effects.
