Need to know! This is Miss V’s Sign of Cream Worm Entry

Jakarta –

Recently, there has been a lot of buzz about videos of maggots in the female genitalia or Miss V on social media. But many people get this wrong. Maggots usually only live in dead tissue and are impossible to grow in healthy tissue. Animals or parasites that are more likely to live in the body including the vagina are pinworms.

Oxyuris vermicularis or pinworms are small worms measuring 0.6-1.3 cm, thin, and white in color, generally can live and breed in the large intestine and rectum of humans. However, in some cases, pinworm infections can spread to the area of ​​​​the human sex organs.

Pinworms can attack the anus, vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, to the pelvic organs, and are most often experienced by children. Quoted from Medicinenet, about 20 percent of girls experience pinworm infections in the vagina.

This condition can occur when a person inhales and swallows pinworm eggs accidentally from an object. Eggs that enter the body will then stick to the digestive organs such as the duodenum.

After turning into a larva, it will move to the middle intestine which functions to absorb nutrients. And as pinworms grow up, they’ll either migrate to the intestines or lodge in areas of the body where they shouldn’t be, such as the vagina.

So, what are the signs of pinworms that can threaten Miss V? Quoted from the Cleveland Clinic, Sunday (16/01/2022) here are the signs:

1. Itching in the anal area and occurs at night

At night, pinworms usually lay eggs around the anus. Symptoms can include itching and irritation. Although this condition includes mild symptoms, itching in the anal area can get worse.

Quoted from the Mayo Clinic, female pinworms can lay very many eggs, even thousands of times around the anus. That’s why people who experience this condition will feel itchy and restless.
