Does this sound like worms?

[dinny]

dd (6) has been complaining of a sore bottom after she poos for about a week, 10 days

just had another look and can see couple of (yuk) white dots around anus

worms? will take her to GP tomorrow am anyway - will they need to look at her bottom? not sure whether to wait for app with female Gp or get emergency (?) one in the morning

thanks, Dinny

Maybe. If you want to be sure then have a look at her bum tonight when you go to bed as this is when they come out and party! If it's worms you should see them wriggling around. No need to see GP if it is, you can get stuff over the counter.

some selotape across her anus when she sleep, and you 'll see the little feckers.

Or use a torch and have a look at night time.

They tend to itch more than cause soreness tho.

eggs are microscopic. Worms are 1-2 cm long and thin, about 1 mm across. White. Wiggly. the turd that waves back

lol at "little feckers", MB

just had another look and think the white dot I saw must have been loo roll or something as it's not there now

she says it feels like she has a little stone up her bum

caution a picture of the little fekers and an arse

oh bleurgh

am going to have to make dh do the looking tonight, am far too squeamish

what could the feeling of a little stone up the bottom be?

when my ds had them he said that it felt like his bum was burning. I had a look at bedtime and sure enough a couple came out to say hello.

Dunno. a mate's child pushed a marble up his arse once. andy chance she might had done something similar? Is she constipated?

When my dd had them she complained (loudly) of really bad itching inside, mainly at night. Could she have a pile?

she says her bottom doesn't itch

she isn't constipated and is regular poo-wise, east VERY healthy diet, loves fruit, veg, drinks lots water etc etc

she did have a tummy bug (mild) and loose-ish poos last week, which until now I presumed had maybe made inside her bott sore

oh, and she wouldn't put anything up her bum, she's pretty sensible generally (just asked her and she said she hadn't)

she might have an anal fissure. My nephew had one, and it was very sore - also after a tummy bug.

when dd had worms, she didn't complain of anything at all....

I've had both piles and fissures in my time and they both hurt, and can imagine a child describing both as like having a small stone up their bum.

hmmmm, should I take her to doctor? it's not stopping her pooing her usual amount and she's not in a LOT of pain, just immediately after she poos she says it hurts and then it's OK. presumably they can't really do anyting about fissures except let them heal....?
