Something is moving in the anus

We all know that there are many bacteria and fungi living in the human intestines and stomach, and there may also be parasites. When the body is healthy, these bacteria and fungi remain at a stable level. Once an infection occurs, the number of these bacteria and fungi will increase, causing gastrointestinal diseases. The situation where something moves in the anus is mainly caused by the activity of parasites.

Diseases caused by parasites living in the human intestines are collectively called intestinal parasitic diseases. Common ones include protozoa and helminths (including roundworms, hookworms, pinworms, red worms, whipworms, amoebas, giardia, Trichomonas, etc.). There are many types of intestinal parasites, and their parasitic process in the human body is complicated, and the lesions they cause are not limited to the intestines. Clinical symptoms and signs vary depending on the type and site of infecting parasites and the immune status of the human host.

Causes

Most intestinal parasitic infections are related to local sanitary conditions, living habits, health awareness, economic level and family clustering. Natural temperature, rainfall, and people’s production and living habits are important factors in epidemiology.

examine

The examination of parasite eggs and protozoa in feces is a method we often use and an important basis for diagnosing intestinal parasitic diseases. It can not only observe the infection status of parasites and evaluate the efficacy of antiparasitic drugs, but is also an important means of conducting epidemiological surveys of these parasitic diseases.

treat

It is recommended to go to a regular hospital to find out the source of the disease. Since the sources of the disease are different, corresponding anthelmintics should be used for treatment. It should be noted that pregnant women should not take anthelmintics. Young children should be treated according to the doctor's instructions.
