Dear 'me'

You should not be embarassed to talk to your mum about this problem - I'm sure she would give you nothing but help and sympathy. Alternatively you must see a doctor - how old are you?? Don't be ashamed, aybody can suffer from this horrible problem (even your parents) and in fact it is quite possible that if you have them, they do too! Don't suffer in silence these things are horrible and you need help :cry:

Me,

Don't panic.

I am sure your mum won't be cross - it's not your fault.

Threadworms can usually be treated very easily by simply taking one tablet. It is called Ovex and can be bought from any chemist.

Don't be embarrassed ..... almost everyone has them at some time in their life.

It is usually recommended that a second tablet is taken after two weeks to ensure the threadworms are completely cleared - your pharmacist will advise you.

Also, your mum really should be told .... it's quite possible that she and other members of the family have them too and also need to be treated.

In the meantime, no scratching and lots of handwashing.

Good luck!! smile

hi i am 13 years old and i keep getting threadworms over and over again its annoying!!! i always take ovex tablets wen i get them and i take one 2 weeks later but abewt 2 months later i get reinfected with them!!! my mum n dad say its because i'm unhygienic wen i get them but this time i haven't told them what shall i do??!!

i found some ovex tablets in the medicine draw on monday and took 1 now there is 1 left and im waiting till 2 weeks is over what shall i do??

is there any other way of getting rid of them without taking medication like a home remedy or something!!?

PLEASE HELP!!

P.S- i went to hospital in 2006-7 and they said i have them and i had to get ovex tablets. [/b]

Read the Hygiene measures section of this Patient UK leaflet (click) : Threadworms smile

Hi,

I had these little blighters for years when I was a teenager and I was too embarrassed to tell my parents too. finally, when I left home I went to the pharmacist and asked for a Threadworm treatment. It was one tablet, and I was miraculously cured. i felt silly for having waited so long! i've been clear for 9 years now. Go and ask your pharmacist for the tablet now!

You also need to wash your underwear, pyjamas and bedclothes on the same day you take the tablet (if you can't do this without your Mum being suspicious and you really don't want to tell her the truth, you might want to say you spilt a drink on them or something!) because the eggs can stay in the bedclothes for 2 weeks after.

if the single treatment doesn't work, then you will need to tell you family so that everyone can be treated at once. Sometimes people have them without having any symptoms, so even if your family don't think they have threadworms, they shoudl still take the tablets. There are figures which suggest about 40% of people have them, so don't be embarrassed. You're being the sensible grown up one by telling them and getting treatment.

So do tell your parents if you can, but i know how it feels if you just can't bring yourself to, so try one treatment yourself first if you prefer.

good luck!

I know the feeling, I'm 12 years old. I constantly get them and I constantly cry over it. I really need help. It so embarrassing and I dont wanna tell anyone . PLEASE HELP ME!!!

I have the same problem I only just got them but I don't wanna tell my mum I really need to know if they go on their own 😭

Me,

hello I have the same problem except it is not 20 at a time and I have only had them for about 6 days. But I do not want to tell my dad. Mostly because I am a girl and my mom passed away so I would like to talk to more of a women figure then a man. But I want to just let you know you are not alone and that you will get better. You should eat a lot of garlic. I ate some garlic not straight out of a clove, I ordered garlic Parmesan wings and that worked for about a day but I guess a clove would work. Also when you go to restaurants order water with a lemon slice. If you need someone to talk to and just say things about it you can always say something to me. It might sound weird since you don't know me but if it helps I won't be discussed or grossed out I will listen.

 

You need to tell a parent. Now.

Hi, I'm ell a and I have them too :-( I heard that once you have them you can never 100% get rid of them that's what made me cry I have yet to tell my mum but I think I'm gonna do it like think ' Mum why does my bum always itch at night, it's really annoying' maybe she will know what it means. I cry more when I look at the web sights about them then I do when they come out, am I the only one who when I go the worms are in there and alive???!!!

I used to be in your situation. I had them for months but I didn't tell anyone. It was horrible. Then, I told my mom and she got me medications and they worked!! Just tell your parents, and they will understand and help you.

HELP !!!!!!!!!! I have thread worms I have had them for 3 years I told them when I finally pooped there was not any then I got them again and now I have done research and found out I could possibly die but my parents are sleeping and there so busy I never get to hang out with them and the worms are so serious if hurts my private and I have not slep for the past 2 days please help and reply quick

Hi I'm alfie and I'm 10 I have the same prob

But I can't tell my mum so what do I do??

I'm so embarrassed to tell her

PLZ HELP!!!!

Hello i am having the same thing, what you should do is wash your bedding/sheets everyday and when you wake up have a hot shower and wash your area to get rid of the eggs that were laid that night if you do this it deystroys the eggs so no mire can hatch
