Ive been feeling this weird wriggling sensation in my anus, especially at night. I know pinworms are usually something kids get, but Ive also been dealing with some itching down there. Could it be pinworms? Is there a way to check on my own? And are there any over-the-counter treatments that might help, or should I just see a doctor despite feeling embarrassed?

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.
