When I was younger (8 or 10 apx), i found very small, white worms in my stool. I didn't see the doctor but I was prescribed one pill which I took, but I don't think was effective.
I'm 18 now, and worried I may be infested with worms. I have:
Itching around the anus (could this be psychic becuase of my worry of being infested, or possibly caused by diarreah?)
Occasional dirreah
Excessive gas, and upset stomach
I have other symptoms that could be related such as:
Fatigue and insomnia
Headache
Any info would help. I especially want to know what kind of worm it was that I had when I was younger (very small, white), is it possible that I never got rid of them and still have them, could I have a different type of parasite (I'm particularly scared i have a roundworm or tapeworm), what should I do medical wise, could these symptoms be result of just worrying I have parasites?

 Hi acfl,
It would be quite unlikely that you would be afflicted with a continued infestation for such an extended peruiod of time. If your concern is a possible current parasitic infestation that you may have recently acquired a labtest on your stool by your physician would identify if such a condition exists.
Sincerely,
Theresa Jones, RN
