What Are The Causes And Reasons For Threadworms?

Every month I get threadworms a couple of days before my period is due. They remain during my period then are gone again until a few days before my next period. This has been happening for a few months. Is there any particular reason for this? I know all the info about threadworms, but I can't find anything on this

Hi,
Thread worm infestation has no relation with period.
Only thing is that there might be having itching on that area due to poor hygiene due to period.
Itching on that area are also common with thread worm.
Go for one course of Albendazole meidicine.
Keep local hygiene clean, dry and airy.
Ok and take care.
I find this answer helpful
