Symptoms of worm vaginitis

Pinworm vaginitis is a parasitic vaginitis, which is an infectious disease that can be transmitted through direct or indirect contact. It can also be transmitted through the anus, hands, mouth, etc. This type of vaginitis is more common among children. Some white worms are likely to appear near the anus, and pinworm eggs can be found through inspection. Therefore, regular treatment should be carried out in time to avoid causing greater harm.

1. Severe itching around the anus and vulva, or accompanied by burning pain, especially at night, increased leucorrhea, which may be yellow-white purulent secretions.

2. There may be mild digestive tract symptoms such as loss of appetite, abdominal distension, abdominal pain and diarrhea.

3. There may be mental and neurological symptoms such as mental restlessness, insomnia, night terrors, and nocturnal bruxism.

Causes

Enterobiasis is an infectious disease caused by pinworms parasitizing the human body. Pinworms burrow into the vagina and cause pinworm vaginitis. Pinworms parasitize in the large intestine. Female pinworms crawl out of the anus at night - within 2 hours after the host falls asleep. Because the temperature (34℃～36℃) and humidity (90%～100%) are suitable and there is sufficient oxygen, they lay a large number of eggs in the perineum around the anus and in the folds of the vulva. Female worms can enter various parts of the reproductive tract such as the vagina, cervix, uterus and fallopian tubes through the vaginal opening. Mechanical and chemical stimulation as well as intestinal bacterial contamination carried by the intestine can cause local allergic reactions and inflammatory infiltration.

1. Laboratory examination

The patients were given routine blood and urine tests, vulva examinations, etc. Use the cellophane swab method to check for pinworm eggs. If the result is negative, perform the test three times in a row.

2. Infection degree

The infection is graded based on the number of pinworm eggs found under a microscope.

Pinworms can be combined with gonorrhea or other sexually transmitted diseases and must be differentiated from sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea. In addition, pinworm granuloma needs to be differentiated from tumors, tuberculosis, etc.

treat

Local cleaning, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and early deworming and removal of the cause are the key to treatment. Commonly used treatments for pinworm vaginitis include mebendazole, piperazine citrate, and pyrantel-naphthoate.
