I'm not sure if this belongs in the sexual
health area because I don't know what's
causing it. A couple of days ago I began
experiencing anal itching and irritation,
which is worse during and right after a
bowel movement. My first instinct was to
think hemorroids even though i'm only 19
and not overweight. However there are no
visible signs of hemorroids and after
researching more I found the horrifying
possibility of pinworms! The fact that
the itching is the worst when I first wake
up is what threw me for the loop. A
third possiblity is that it's a result or
oral sex with my boyfriend who recently
shaved off his beard and now has scratchy
stubble, although that wouldn't explain
the morning itchiness.
Phew, anyway I don't have health insurance
right now so i'd appreciate any
information on solving this problem. I
don't know why i'd have pinworms unless it
was from the "workplace" cat who has had
several bouts of worms herself. Ick
