Let's remember, uhnterobiasis is contact helminthiasis, caused by roundworms (pinworms), which parasitize the lower parts of the small intestine. Enterobiasis pathogens can reach up to 1 cm. You can become infected not only directly (through dirty hands), unwashed vegetables and fruits, but also through common objects: door handles, towels, bed linen, clothes, toys. The disease may be asymptomatic; if there are a lot of parasites, then patients are bothered by itching in the anus, abdominal pain, nausea, and upset stool. The diagnosis is made based on laboratory tests and treatment is prescribed by a doctor. You can read more about enterobiasis and measures to prevent it Here
