This is what came out of me
Brief Answer:
It seems tapeworm in photo.
Detailed Answer:
Hello Lydlinds4,
Thanks for using HCM.
I am Dr Rakesh Sharma answering your question.
Thanks for photo, it does look like tapeworm.
Nothing to worry about it, in fact it is good that it is out.
There are chances of some more worms in intestine.That is why you are still having some trouble.
Your doctor must have prescribed you some medication, you can take that or you can take a tablet of
Praziquantel.
Eat bulky food , drink lot of water, a type of natural stomach wash, if you are constipated you can also use mild laxative, you will feel better after some time.
Hope you have answer to your query, if any more question please put on or you can close the question and rate it.
