Brief Answer:
Need to diagnose/rule out parasites with tests

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome.

Thank you for writing in.

There are various symptoms of a parasite infection, and anal itching is one of them. But to confirm a parasite infection, certain tests need to be conducted, without this you cannot confirm a parasite infection.

If I were your doctor I would order the following investigations:
-Stool examination
-A colonoscopy
-Blood investigations
-CT scan or x-ray

Please go about the above mentioned investigations if you are suspecting a parasite infection. But, I should also add that there can be various causes for itching around the anus like hemorrhoids, pruritus ani, anal fissures, etc.

So you will have to visit your doctor and get the above mentioned investigations to rule out/diagnose parasite infection, and these investigations will also help to suspect other conditions mentioned above, these along with a physical examination will surely help.

I hope you found my response helpful. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help you.

Best wishes.

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again sir.

Please try the following brand names for mebendazole 500 mg, but it would be best for you to be under the supervision of a doctor in your region, that way if you experience any side effects you can report to your doctor immediately.

If by chance you do not get the 500 mg supplement, then you can start on the 100 or 200 mg tablets, to be taken thrice a day for the next 10-14 days. Do keep me informed sir.

Hope this information helps. Take care.

Brief Answer:
Yes parasite infections cause exhaustion

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again sir.

Yes of course sir, a parasite infection can easily result in exhaustion. As the parasites start multiplying, they increase in number and start consuming most of the food eaten, blood and flesh, which leaves less nutrition for the host and leads to exhaustion.

Other common causes of exhaustion are anemia and nutrient deficiencies.

Hope this information helps you sir.

Take care.
