Question 3

I've been having this really annoying itching around my anus, especially at night and in the evening. It almost feels like something's crawling around in there. I'm a 21-year-old guy, and I've been trying to cut back on sweets, hoping it might help. Do you know what could be causing this, and is there any medicine I should try? If you can suggest something, could you also let me know how and when to take it?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of pinworm infection. I recommend taking Albendazole 400mg tablet as a single dose at night before bedtime. This medication helps to treat parasitic infections like pinworms. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, such as washing hands frequently and keeping the anal area clean, can help prevent reinfection. If symptoms persist, please consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
