In this video Doctor O'Donovan explains how to recognise and treat PINWORMS (aka threadworms). Threadworms – also called pinworms - are tiny white worms in your poo. They're common in children and spread easily and you can treat them without seeing a doctor - instead go speak to your pharmacist. It's a very common problem and you should NOT be embarrassed. • -- What are the symptoms of pinworm infections? • Symptoms of a pinworm infection (enterobiasis) include: • 1. Anal itching, especially at night: Pinworms lay their eggs around the anus at night, causing itching and irritation. • 2. Sleeplessness: Because anal itching is worse at night, people suffering from a pinworm infection can have trouble sleeping. • 3. Vaginal itching: In females, symptoms can also include itching in the vaginal area. • -- What is pinworm treatment and what medication can you use? • NHS UK website recommends: You can buy medicine (mebendazole) for threadworms from pharmacies. This is usually a chewable tablet or liquid you swallow. Treat everyone in your household, even if they do not have symptoms. Tell the pharmacist if you need to treat a child under 2, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Treatment might not be suitable and you may need to speak to a GP. • Cleveland Clinic USA recommends: Pinworms are treated with an oral (taken by mouth) anti-parasitic medication that kills the worms. You will need to take one dose right away and another dose two weeks later to make sure all the worms are gone. To reduce the risk of re-infection, pediatricians recommend that the family members and caregivers of an infected child be treated, as well. The medications used to treat pinworms are: • Pyrantel pamoate • Mebendazole • Albendazole • Pyrantel pamoate is the medication most commonly used to treat pinworms. It is available without a prescription (over-the-counter). • ------ • In the video we cover: • 00:00 - Introduction • 00:12 - What are threadworms (pinworms) and what symptoms can you get? • 00:53 How do threadworms (pinworms) spread? • 01:23 - Treatment of threadworms (pinworms) • 03:21 - Conclusion • Further information: • NHS website (UK): https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/threadw... • Cleveland clinic (USA): https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health... • #doctor #pinworm #threadworms #health #medical • ************************************************************************ • Connect through: • YouTube: / doctorodonovan • TikTok: @doctorodonovan • ************************************************************************** • Disclaimer: • The video is intended as an educational resource only.
