Pinworm Causing Vaginal Inflammation - What to Do

Patient's Query

Ihave pinworm caused vaginal inflammation wha ido

Answered by Dr. Himali Patel

Pinworms are tiny worms that infect the intestines and can sometimes spread to the vaginal area. They cause itching and redness. Medication can eliminate them, but it's important to wash bedding and clothes frequently to prevent the infection from spreading. Always remember to wash your hands before eating.

I have some rashes deep in my vagina

Female | 25

I advise you to go to a gynecologist immediately. Rashes in vaginal area can be a sign of a vaginal infection or a sexually transmitted infection.

Question for OBGYN or anyone in women’s health: I am 25F and have been using the Evra estrogen+progesterone patch (Canadian version) since February 2023 (almost 3 years) due to abnormally heavy periods leading to anemia. It has essentially stopped my period. For the last year only, since April, my “periods” (or breakthrough bleeding) have become more regular, occurring every 3 months or so. I usually will remove the patch when it starts to allow myself to shed any excess lining. But more recently I have been shedding extremely thick clots of coagulated blood/lining, multiple times an hour, each clot about the size of the palm of my hand. This coupled with EXTREMELY heavy bleeding. I use the largest and thickest available overnight pads throughout the day and night, and each one is soaked through in about an hour, along with 2-3 large jelly-like clots sitting on top of the pad which I have to pick up manually and dispose of in the toilet. I can feel the clots passing most often when moving from sitting to standing, as it is accompanied by a wave of abdominal pain and then the uncomfortable sensation of passing a large mass of tissue. I went to the ER the first time this started happening as I was worried about the blood loss. They instructed me to take iron supplements (which I already do) and told me it was normal on the patch - but it isn’t typical for me. It’s been impossible to find a doctor available nearby so I was hoping to get some more insight into why this is suddenly starting to happen, and whether it’s safe for me to continue on the Evra patch. Thank you so much for any help.
