Do I have worms? what is going on?

[Anonymous]

I get this tingly feeling around my butt. I don't mean to be gross I'm being completely serious. I've never heard of this but tried looking it up and I'm still not sure what I have. it's only by my butt. I can't see anything when I look if it itches, it's not constant, it's not all the time, I notice it SOMETIMES at work but usually when in laying in be trying to sleep.

I don't like doctor bills, do I need a reference from my primary doctor to see a parasite specialist or how should I go about this? has this ever happened to anyone? are there natural ways to cure this? I've also looked at my feces to see if I see anything out of the ordinary, it just seems a little lighter than normal.

I don't mean to be gross I'm just looking to see if anyone knows what it could be or if I can find some specialist to go to. Thanks.

Spend some time searching your symptoms on the Internet, to see if you can find forums with people with similar problems, or perhaps a medical page that fits your descriptions.

Self-diagnosis can only go so far though, and most of the time can't be trusted. Your best bet is probably to go to your doctor, who can give you a much better idea of what the problem is. And then they can also help you to fix it and get healthier.

There's no point sitting at home and wondering, and risking getting worse. It could be nothing, or it could be something that turns into something serious. Better safe than sorry.

thank you, I should call them this week, if not tomorrow!

I hope you get it figured out and feel better soon!

that's a bit gross, I think you should go to a doctor and take bitter melon.

gross...Is an understatement, I'm more so embarrassed about it! how does this happen!?

Sounds like pinworm.

Look it up.

You can get treatment from a pharmacist.

Possibly, try drinking some water with a clove of garlic

just go to your primary doctor.

or at least call them and tell them what's going on and see if they can give you advice on where to go over the phone.
