Get a family pack of Ovex, wash all your bedding, and pyjamas, don't share towels and wear knickers to bed too. Hoovering and dusting the whole house is usually part of the routine too.

You might be able to see them , you might not. They are tricky buggers! Did your dr suggest it might be worms when you saw her?

If pile cream and ointments aren't working, then it may not be piles. It could, though, thrush as this will also cause itching - not just vaginal itching.

Try some Canestan and see if that helps.
