I'm really worried because I've noticed pinworms in my vaginathere were three of them. It's been happening for about a week now, and I can actually feel them moving around down there. What should I do?

Pinworms can cause irritation and inflammation in the vaginal area in rare cases of heavy infestation. The parasite can travel from the anal area to the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, and pelvic organs. This can lead to complications such as vaginitis and endometritis.So you have to take combination therapy with oral mebendazole (Vermox) and ivermectin (Stromectol

I'm currently one month pregnant, but I'm not ready for that now and I'm thinking about abortion. I've heard stories about how certain pills might affect my ability to get pregnant later on, and it's got me really worried. Is that true? If not, what are the options? Also, I tried eating papaya and pineapple and even took hot showers, but nothing seems to work. Can you give me some advice?
