i think you might have intestinal worms. its easily treated with a single dose of zentel(albendazole) 400 mg. the other possibility is diabetes mellitus but since you havent mentioned your age or any family history, it is difficult to say. it would be advisable for you to get your blood sugar checked.

Get ur blood sugar fasting and post meal checked it might be diabetes...also if u feel itchy aroun the anus are at night it can be due to worms in ur gut....take Tab Albendazole 400mg once at night
