Can pinworm infection cause multiple issues like vision loss, anal itching, and vaginal problems in me?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

I have reviewed your case history and attached photos (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). If you have taken medicines, they are generally very effective for parasitic infections. However, we do not prescribe these medications repeatedly until and unless there is good laboratory evidence of worms, like in a stool sample or skin biopsy of the affected area. I have reviewed your symptoms. Still, your symptoms are not explained by just pinworm infection. In a normal female of your age, without any immunocompromised illness or state, it is doubtful that you will have persistent parasitic infections while maintaining proper hygiene.

I would suggest you take your health issues one by one,

1) Eyes or ears issues.

2) Probably IBS (irritable bowel syndrome).

3) Vaginal irritation and anal itching.

4) Lack of energy.

It would be best if you had a proper evaluation for eyes and ears once. Your baseline anxiety and restlessness can cause worsening of your IBS for urogenital issues. It would be best if you had a good physical examination. And for lack of energy, you need to work on your diet and anxiety issues. I could help you out if you could share your stool and blood reports. Wishing you good health.

I hope this helps.

Thank you and take care.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

I have not found any worms in your stool sample. However, sometimes undigested small food particles mimic worms in appearance too.

If you feel worms moving in your muscles, that is not possible medically in an average healthy person of your age, but yes, your sensation can be true, and for that, you must be on some medications. However, such feelings can be reduced if you calm your brain with some anxiolytic medicine and give time to your body and yourself.

It is difficult to eliminate worms in immunocompromised elderly persons who cannot care for themselves. However, in normal individuals like you, who can take care of their hygiene too, it is not possible that you have persistent infections even after so much care and precautions that you have already taken.

Your obstetrician doctor was unable to find anything, so I guess you should relax a bit, use some anxiolytic medicine, and try to divert your attention. Otherwise, it will continuously affect your quality of life.

You have already used medicine. You can see eosinophil counts on your complete blood profile. This will give you clues as well regarding your cure.

Wishing you excellent health.

I hope this helps.

Thank you and take care.
