Hello, it sad that you have been facing the problem since 5 years now.
We shall try to analyse your exact situation.
- It seems that either they are not worms or you need to mention to the lab about the special test for detection of the presence of the same. since you say that its been 5 years now, had it been really worms in that big a quantity as you mentioned, it should create some problems in other organs systems as well. So you need to give details if at all you have any other bodily problem,itching, respiratory problem or anything. Are there any time patterns when you find them in stools, or is it a daily routine.
And is it felt that they are live when you notice them in stools.
- If you have positive answers to the above questions, you should be visiting you doctor again and proceed again with the lab tests (which would include other blood tests apart from only stool)
Good luck.
