Hello
I appreciate your query.
Based on what you describe, you are probably suffering from worm infestation.
They are transmitted from person to person through contact with infected feces. This could occur either from food, water or soil that is contaminated.
symptoms include stomach pain, bloating, gas,
constipation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and itchiness around the anal area, tenderness of the stomach, constant fatigue, and
weight loss.
Worms in pregnancy are a common occurrence due to a pregnant woman’s lowered immunity. Common
home remedies are garlic, carrots, pumpkin seeds, pomegranate and probiotics contained in yoghurt, curd etc.
High fibre diet helps in improving bowel movements .
Definite diagnosis is by peri-anal swab, stool sample, or cellophane tape test to detect worms or ova.
Based on the type of worm infestation, your gynecologist will prescribe you antihelminthics ( common ones are
mebendazole and albendazole )
However
breastfeeding might have to be discontinued for a few days till you take the drug.
Please consult your gynecologist for specific dosage.
