I've been having this really uncomfortable itching around my anus at night, and it's been driving me crazy because it's making me lose out on sleep. I even noticed some white worms coming from there but only at night. It's a bit concerning because I feel like I need to go to the toilet repeatedly. What could this be? Should I be worried?
