Little girl has white worms in her vagina

Many family members have reported that they have found white worms in their young girls’ genitals. These worms are pinworms, which crawl up from the anus. Since children are still young and have no awareness of cleanliness, parents need to clean their children more often. Children are prohibited from sucking their fingers. Children's hands are the dirtiest part of their body and are touched the most every day. If they ingest bacteria through their mouths, it can easily cause intestinal problems and subsequently the appearance of pinworms. Introduce pinworm treatment methods to parents.

1. The present imidazole compounds

Both are effective. For example, a 400 mg dose of albendazole, or enteroworm clearing, has a cure rate of almost 100%, but enterobiasis is prone to self-reinfection, so the treatment should be repeated once 2-4 weeks after treatment.

2. Benzphenicol (trade name: Propidium) 5 mg per kilogram for children, total dose for adults should not exceed 250 mg, take it all at once before bedtime (the tablets should not be crushed). To prevent recurrence, take another dose after an interval of 14 days. It has good efficacy, few side effects, and occasional nausea and vomiting.

3. The adult dose of thioethylpyridine is 250 mg, and the child dose is 5 mg/kg, taken once on a half-empty stomach, which has a significant effect in expelling pinworms.

After washing the skin around the anus before going to bed every night, apply 10% zinc oxide ointment, 2% white mercuric ointment, 10% Hefeng ointment or pinworm ointment (containing 30% Stemona extract, 0.2% gentian violet, etc.) on the skin around the anus, which has insecticidal and antipruritic effects.

Strengthen health publicity and education, develop good hygiene habits, wash hands before meals and after defecation, do not suck your fingers, clean the anus in the morning before going to bed, organize collective diagnosis and treatment, etc.
