Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach feels dull pain sometimes with symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was fine for a while, but then it started again. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of ascariasis in the stool?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description of the condition, light cases of ascariasis may not show obvious symptoms, while severe cases may experience a recurrence of decreased appetite, unclear abdominal pain around the navel, increased food intake, frequent hunger, unexplained hives on the skin, and no significant clinical manifestations in bowel movements, sometimes dry, sometimes nausea and vomiting, etc. Individual differences vary, so the symptoms may differ. In cases of ascariasis, the stool does not show very characteristic manifestations. If ascariasis recurs, we can take albendazole tablets, which can expel parasites. It is essential to pay attention to diet and always wash food thoroughly before eating.
