How to tell if your baby has anal worms

The main reason why babies have worms in their anus is because of unhygienic diet, which leads to an increase in gastrointestinal parasites. This has a relatively large impact on the gastrointestinal tract and can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain and loss of appetite in babies. However, how do we determine if the baby has anal worms? We can see it from the baby's stool or from the baby's symptoms. For specific examination symptoms, please refer to the following.

What are the symptoms of pinworms in the baby's anus?

First, pinworms burrow into the intestinal mucosa, and mechanical or chemical stimulation in the gastrointestinal tract can cause symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

Second, the metabolic products discharged by the parasites in the body can cause mental excitement, insomnia, and night terrors and finger biting in children. The most common symptoms of pica in children are those in patients with pinworm infection, such as eating lumps of earth, coal slag, and salt.

Third, it is caused by ectopic parasitism of pinworms, such as vaginitis, salpingitis, endometritis, etc. It can also invade the appendix and cause appendicitis or even peritonitis.

Fourth, children will experience itching around the anus or genitals at night, which will affect their sleep and cause them to cry and become restless. Due to the extreme itching, scratching causes the skin around the anus to fall off, become congested, and cause rashes and eczema. Even induce suppurative sensuality.

What are the causes of pinworms in the baby's anus?

First, exposure to pollutants. The eggs near the anus contaminate clothes, sheets, toys, etc.; then other children come into contact with these contaminants, bring the eggs into the mouth through their fingers and swallow them. The eggs can also be inhaled through the air and swallowed.

Second, eat raw food. Parasites in raw food are not sterilized at high temperatures and can easily cause disease through eating.

Third, poor hygiene habits. Bacteria are everywhere and at all times, so to prevent them from entering your body through your mouth, you should wash your hands before meals; you should also wash your hands after going to the toilet because your hands are easily sticky with bacteria.

Fourth, indirect transmission through parents. Parents have more opportunities to eat out and are more likely to be infected with enterohelminthes. Parents and babies live in close contact in their daily lives, and once they are infected with enterohelminthiasis, it is easy to pass it on to the baby.

From this it can be seen that the reason why the baby has pinworms in his anus is partly due to the baby and partly due to the parents. Therefore, parents should pay attention to personal hygiene, and they should also cultivate good habits of cleanliness in their babies. Cultivate good habits of loving exercise and balanced diet for your baby.
