I found one worm in my stool

Dr. Samrat Jankar

Surgical Gastroenterologist

Answered on 23rd May '24

Discovering a worm in your stool might be due to a parasitic infection. Parasites can enter your body through contaminated food, water, or surfaces. Consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment, maintain good hygiene, and practice food and water safety.

Questions & Answers on "Gastroenterology" (1261)

Hello, I am a 19yo male. Months ago, I had some neurological symptoms and went to hospital. There, a blood test showed that I had really low B12 vitamin (under 90 pg/mL). I had some shots to increase B12 levels and hospital adviced me to go to GP and have gastroscopy and colonoscopy to find the cause of the deficiency, because it was not normal at that age to have that low b12 levels. So, the days I was taking the B12 shots and planning to go to a GP, I had some bowel symptoms, including changes in stool size (small-thin and rounded / however not hard to pass), and rarely a little blood on them. When I went to the GP, I told him the whole story and told me that I had to do some other blood tests first to see if there is any gastric inflammation and then we would see if endoscopy is needed. After doing several blood tests (ECR, CRP, etc..) and faecal calprotectin test, GP told me that results were normal and did not show any inflammation in stomach or colon, so no endoscopy was needed. He told me that these symptoms were from functional gastrointestinal disorders and hemmorhoids. All of these happened like 6 months before. Now, I still have small-thin and rounded stools (rarely i pass normal stools but most of times they are like that) - blood is very rare and in small amount. Generally, my diet is normal (includes fiber), i drink a lot of water, no anxiety, not anaemic, normal weight and I exercise. So, these changes in bowel habits that happened months ago (without having any lifestyle change) + little blood rarely + the B12 defficiency I had, make me think I should visit another GP and push for a colonoscopy. I tried to search if increasing B12 would cause such changes in bowel habits, but did not find something. The only family history I know are that some first degree relatives had a small B12 defficiency without symptoms and second degree relative had gastrectomy a lot of years ago. I am a little panicked because Ive been seeing colon cancer is on the rise among young people and unreasoned bowel changes that dont leave soon + blood (however mine is very rarely and little) may be red flag. Especially most cases in young people are advanced stages becaus they are not caught early. Thanks for reading till the end, what do you suggest me to do? Go to another GP? And even push for endoscopy? Finally, could the cause of hard pebble stool be somehow (?) the elevation of B12 so my system need some time to go back to normal again? Because B12 deficiency was slowly developing for years.

While low B12 levels can affect the body in many ways, they usually don’t impact bowel habits like this. It’s great that you’ve had some tests, and they’ve ruled out any inflammation in your stomach or colon. Your symptoms might be due to functional gastrointestinal disorders or hemorrhoids, which are quite common and generally not too serious. Keep an eye on your symptoms, and try not to worry too much. However, if you’re still concerned, getting a second opinion from another doctor might help give you peace of mind.

Male | 25

Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease affecting the digestive tract. It results from the immune system attacking the gut lining, causing inflammation and various symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, and fever. Complications include blockages, ulcers, and fistulas. Treatment involves medications, dietary changes, and sometimes surgery. Consult a gastroenterologist for a personalized treatment plan.

When saftypin stay in my stomch since 2 years what's happened

Male | 22

Carrying a safety pin in your stomach for 2 long years can result in dangerous situations. You may get a tummy ache, feel like you are going to throw up, or actually, throw up. The pin can cause a tear in the lining of your stomach and be the reason for the infection. It is important to have it done through surgery. If the pin stays there it can cause other problems. A doctor must be seen immediately to get help.

I m 40 years old. I m suffering from fissure in anus. It gives me pain

Male | 40

Fissures are little rips in the skin around the anus. Passing hard stools, diarrhea, or inflammatory bowel disease can cause them. To heal the fissure, drink plenty of water, eat foods high in fiber, and use stool softeners. You might need creams or ointments too so that it does not hurt as much and heals faster.

I am 25 and I've been experiencing abdominal cramps, fever. The cramps are fine now. But now I have diarrhea and the stools are yellow and foamy and very frequent. I don't know what to do.

Female | 25

The following is an attempt to explain what could be the reason behind frequently going to the loo with a yellow, foamy stool and the way the body deals with unwanted substances. It is possibly diarrhea caused by the stomach flu or eating something that didn't sit right. To restore electrolytes, drink plenty of water and be properly hydrated. If you experience the loss of appetite, diarrhea, and vomiting that come with the condition, avoid high-fiber foods and processed carbs.

I was diagnosed gallbladder polyps and can it causes bad breathing

Male | 40

Gallbladder polyps are growths inside the gallbladder which can be described as tiny bumps. These types of polyps generally aren't related to any form of bad breath. Bad breath usually comes from poor dental hygiene or problems with the lungs. Sometimes they may cause pain in your abdomen or make it hard for you to digest food. If they do and are still there when this happens again then taking out your gall bladder might stop anything else like that from happening in the future.

I am 18 year old female. Every morning while pooping I get a normal (not solid) bowel followed by loose stools like diarrhea , every morning after waking up I feel a huge urge to poop and then within 10 minutes a lot of poop comes out of my body and its normal one (although it is not solids) it seems like i am done but then very loose stool starts coming in very small amounts for which I have to strain and I end up with 50 minutes in toilet but that loose stool never gets out completely , its been more than an year now.

Female | 18

You have a problem with a condition called irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The sure signs of IBS are the combination of constipation and diarrhea, in addition to often urgent bowel movements. It may be instigated by stress, some foods, or hormonal changes. For IBS to be controlled, it is important to eat a balanced diet, to drink enough water, to control stress, and to use medications if necessary.

Am Sam I have malaria and on malaria drug but now feeling stomach upset when trying to eat and seriously loose appetite

Male | 28

It’s normal to get a tummy ache and not feel like eating when you’re on antimalarial medication. These medicines may sometimes bother your stomach. Remember to continue taking them, but try to ease the discomfort by consuming small and soft meals. Drinking fluids such as water or tea frequently could also be helpful. Should the symptoms persist, consult your doctor for further assistance.

I am 16 year old and have been facing nausea and feeling of fullness after eating.I also feel heart burn once in a week and these increase when I am in public or have exams comming up. I have have these for 6 months .Is it possible to have these symptoms because of anxiety?please tell that I don't have something like functional dyspepsia

Male | 16

You mentioned numerous problems that have tortured you in the last 2-3 months - like nausea, fullness after a meal, and heartburn. That can be a sign of anxiety. However, you say that they tend to become aggravated during high-pressure situations such as exams that may lead to that. Anxieties can lead to digestion problems and anticorrelated symptoms. Do some techniques like deep breathing or walking to reduce the stress level. Smaller and more frequent meals can also be of help to avoid your pain.
