I had worms as a child. I never told anyone, ever. I don't know if anyone knew or not. I was never (to my knowledge) given any medication for them.
I don't know if they went away at all, or whether they did as I don't remember when (but I remember having them for a few years!) the symptoms stopped and I didn't see any signs of them. I got on with life, grew up and forgot about it.
Until about 3 weeks ago when I noticed something in my stool, however it wasn't moving st all and I couldn't be sure it was a worm, it kinda looked like one, but not really. Sorry, I appreciate all this is TMI.
I went mental and bleached the whole house, washed all bed sheets etc but just felt 'rank' all day.
Anyway, I've forgotten about it but for some reason tonight I'm thinking about it again, convinced I've probably had threadworms my whole life and they've made me infertile or something.
Can they make you infertile? I live with my boyfriend, I really want to go and get some Ovex and then bleach the house but I don't see how I could do that without telling him and I just couldn't tell him. I don't even know if I have them.
I don't ever feel itchy or anything....I just got thinking tonight, I doubt they'd have gone on their own all those years ago? So what if I still have them? If I do still have them, surely it would be certain that my BF would have caught them too by now?
Argh, I don't know what I expect people to say...but help!!!
Does anyone have any experience with thread worms as an adult?
