Question 1

I've been experiencing this strange wriggling sensation in my anus at night, and it's starting to worry me. I'm aware pinworms are mostly common in kids, but my anus gets really itchy, and I'm just not sure. I'm feeling embarrassed about seeing a doctor. Is there a way I can confirm if it's pinworms? Are there any over-the-counter medications that might help?

Accepted Answer

It's possible that you may have pinworms, as they can affect adults too, though it's more common in children. The wriggling sensation and itching at night are typical symptoms. To confirm, you can try the "tape test" (pressing a piece of clear tape to your anus in the morning before bathing) and check for eggs under a microscope. Over-the-counter medications like mebendazole or albendazole can help, but it's best to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Question 2

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been experiencing some discomfort in my left testicle. There's been no recent injury or anything like that, but it still hurts even with just a light touch. Should I be concerned about this?
