Suggest Treatment For Stomach Worms And Itching In Anal Region

default
Posted on Thu, 23 Jul 2015
Question: Hi, I think i am having stomach worms. In the morning after passing stool, i feel itchiness in the anus. I have seen a local doctor and he usually prescribes Bandy plus or Bendex-400 (Albendazole) tablets. After having that, the feeling of itchiness goes temporarily but it again comes back after a week or two. I am facing this since last six months and I have also lost about 7-8 kg body weight in last one year. Is there any cure to this problem of stomach worms. Pls suggest any dietary or lifestyle changes that I need to make to get rid of worms or any specific type of food i should avoid.

Get your perianal area examined.
Avoid coffee, beer.
Check your blood glucose levels.
