Patient's question:
My son is three years old. Sometimes he says his buttocks itch and scratches with his hands. But I have taken his stool samples for testing several times, and no eggs were found. I don't know what the reason is. Could there still be worms even if no eggs were found?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this symptom is generally caused by poor hygiene leading to anal itching. It's important to maintain local cleanliness, bathe frequently, and change underwear often. This could be due to anal eczema, so you should use physiological saline to clean the area promptly every day. Additionally, consider applying some ointment locally to protect the skin, which should help alleviate the symptoms. !Children should not sit on grass or the ground.
