Vertigo, Bloating, Reflux. Pregnant For Second Child.felt Worm Protruding In Anus. Are Symptoms Related To Parasites?
hello. ive been very sickly recently. been hospitalized for vertigo, having bloating, reflux, cant sleep well at night, dizzy, having panic attacks, weight loss. been to doctors and they said that im ok as well as labs. this happened to me before and one day after defecating, i felt a worm protruding in my anus but it came back inside. i saw a GI doctor and he dewormed me for 3 days and my anus was so itchy at that time and i can say that my GI symptoms before got better and i actually got pregnant for my second child. and now symptoms have been recurring. is this related to parasites again? what if they are still alive as before when i dewormed, no worm really came out.

Hi and thanks for the query,
I am afraid these symptoms are really not related to parasites. There are other predisposing factors that could however be aggravated by parasitic infections. A clinical review by a gastroenterologist would be great. Pregnancy on its own increases abdominal pressure that could aggravate hemorroids. I think the condition might ameliorate after pregnancy. I suggest you get a review from your gynecologist. Kind regards
