Why do pinworms keep appearing after treatment?

Patient's Query

I suffer from pinworms.i taken tablet.again pinworms seen at anus

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Sometimes, a single dose of the medication may not completely get rid of all the pinworms or their eggs. It's important to take a second dose to make sure you're completely clear of them. Also, good hygiene practices like washing hands thoroughly, keeping nails short, and washing bedding and clothing in hot water can help prevent re-infection. If the issue persists, it's best to consult your physician for further evaluation and possibly a different treatment approach.

Couldn't eat anything coz of gastritis and I'm only taking avocado juice for almost a month. I feel fatigue and have headaches with dizziness.

Female | 29

Gastritis can make eating hard, and having avocado juice isn't giving your body all it needs. Symptoms like fatigue, headaches, and dizziness can happen when you lack essential nutrients. To feel better, try eating small, gentle meals. Foods such as oatmeal, bananas, or toast can be friendly to your stomach. Rest and stay hydrated as well.

I am 19 years old … I see blood in my stool … started 2020 I took enterogermina 2020,then December 2021 took tinizol and doxycycline 2021 and I was given Clarthrime and Bonso pile tablet January 2024 but a doctor changed it and told me to take ciprotab instead but today I happened to see blood again I am constipated , I take milk a lot , and I always have bad cramps so I take ibuprofen every month but not more than 2 a month

Female | 19

I recommend seeking medical attention from a gastroenterologist to properly evaluate the cause of the bleeding and develop a treatment plan. Not recommended to self-treat without consulting a doctor, as this can lead to antibiotic resistance and may not address the issue. Additionally taking ibuprofen frequently for menstrual cramps can also lead to gastrointestinal problems.

Female | 18

Fatty liver occurs whe­n excessive fat accumulate­s inside liver cells. Many individuals e­xperience no symptoms initially. Howe­ver, some may fee­l fatigued or upper abdominal discomfort. Contributing factors include high-fat, high-calorie­ diets, obesity, and exce­ssive alcohol consumption. Dietary modifications emphasizing nutrie­nt-dense whole foods, re­gular physical activity, and alcohol reduction can promote liver he­alth.

I am a 51 year old female and I have been having diarrhea and squishy poops and sometimes the poops can’t come out so I have to use my finger to get them out, so I am wondering why I keep getting these symptoms?

Female | 51

Having diarrhea or soft poop could be due to many things such as infections or food sensitivities while difficulty passing stool could mean constipation. You need to eat more fiber, drink plenty of water, and also go for a medical check-up to know exactly what is wrong with you.

I am kennedy...and for years i have been taking ant acids when am in an occasion...or during travelling....my mind thought it was acid in the stomach, wen i take ant acid..there is no gas formation in the stomach and no regular farts. So i came to find that wen i take food like beans i expect to have more acid and farts but thats not the case...the farts has no smell...just stomach gas then a sound then a fart...

Male | 23

You've had gas in your tummy without a funky sme­ll. This is normal, it occurs when our bodies process the­ food we eat. Some foods like­ beans tend to make more­ gas. To reduce the gassy fe­eling, try eating slower. Also, ditch fizzy drinks and split your me­als into smaller portions.
