Worms Coming Out During Urination. What Could Be This?
I have had small (1cm longish) worms coming out when I urinate. for three says in a row. I collected all three and took one to my doctor, but have not heard back. None of the medical resources online describe this condition in discussions of parasites. I live in US. Only travel Ive done in 7 years was to Hawaii.I am a biologist and cant believe there is no way to identify this when I have it in hand!. . Please help!

Hi Dear
Welcome to the platform of Health care magic.
Pinworm (entrobius vermiocularis/ oxyuresis) is the possible cause.
These small one to two centimeter small wroms are of habit of wandering out side the anus for laying eggs. They can enter the urethra.
Deworming agents like albendazole regulary in fortnightly basis will completely eradicate the problem.
Hiope your query is answered.
Thanks
