View allI've been experiencing this strange wriggling sensation in my anus at night, and it's starting to worry me. I'm aware pinworms are mostly common in kids, but my anus gets really itchy, and I'm just not sure. I'm feeling embarrassed about seeing a doctor. Is there a way I can confirm if it's pinworms? Are there any over-the-counter medications that might help?
It's possible that you may have pinworms, as they can affect adults too, though it's more common in children. The wriggling sensation and itching at night are typical symptoms. To confirm, you can try the "tape test" (pressing a piece of clear tape to your anus in the morning before bathing) and check for eggs under a microscope. Over-the-counter medications like mebendazole or albendazole can help, but it's best to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I'm just wondering about my follow-up appointment. I came to your clinic for a check-up last week, and the doctor mentioned I should come again after 3 weeks. So, I'm curious if that follow-up visit is free, or will there be a charge for it?
yes
