Hi,
The threadworm infection that you have seen in the vagina, have definitely come from the anus. This occurs due to the unhygienic condition. Start antihelminthic medications and keep the genital parts clean. Use soothing cream if irritation persists.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
