I'm experiencing this strange sensation like something is crawling in my anus, but I can't see any worms or anything visible. This usually happens after I use the toilet and if I've been using the water pipe a lot. Could it possibly be some kind of infection from the water? There's no itching, just an uncomfortable and weird feeling like something's crawling inside. What could this be?

Possible helminthic infection. I recommend taking a single dose of Albendazole 400mg tablet to treat the possible infection. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene practices, such as washing hands frequently and keeping the anal area clean, can help prevent reinfection. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

For your symptoms, you can try taking Pantoprazole along with Domperidone. Additionally, you can take Simethicone for gas relief.
