Pin虫是寄生虫,是人类常见的感染源。这些通常约为半英寸,可以用肉眼轻易看到。儿童患这种感染的风险较高(1)。但是,如果成年人未采取必要的预防措施,它们也可能被这些传染性蠕虫感染。
您的小宝宝有pin虫吗?您是否正在寻找这种感染的快速简便的治疗方法?请继续阅读以了解pin虫的病因和症状以及一些可用于治疗感染的简单家庭疗法。
注意: Pin虫感染通常可能需要一周的时间才能消失。它不能一夜之间治疗。药物治疗是快速摆脱pin虫的唯一方法。但是,这些补救措施可用于治疗感染而无任何危险因素。
什么是Pin虫?
快门
worm虫是一种细小的白色蠕虫,生活在被感染者的结肠和直肠中。它们也被称为 蠕虫Enterobius ,而感染通常被称为小肠蠕虫病或蠕虫病。
pin虫引起的感染具有高度传染性,是由于它们所产下的微小卵子被摄入的结果。尽管儿童更容易受到感染,但它们也可能导致成年人感染(2)。
请继续阅读以了解这种寄生虫感染的原因。
引起Pin虫的原因是什么?
worm虫感染完全是由于人或动物意外吸入或摄入卵引起的。这些鸡蛋通常是通过受污染的食物,饮料或其他受感染的器具转移的。鸡蛋很小,不能用肉眼看到(3)。
一旦进入人体,它们就会在几周内孵化并变成成虫。成虫蠕虫继续在体内移动,并在受感染者肛门周围产下更多卵,这些卵在几个小时内就具有感染力。这个周期将持续到感染被治愈,并且被感染者的整个家庭都被消毒为止。
现在我们来看看在被pin虫感染的个体中观察到的一些常见体征和症状。
Pin虫的症状和体征
- 肛门经常发痒和发炎
- 由于肛门部位受刺激而导致睡眠不安
- 粪便中有pin虫
- 恶心和偶尔的腹痛
- 由于蠕虫在晚上产卵,因此由于缺乏睡眠而烦躁不安。
从长远来看,虫可能会非常令人烦恼和麻烦。因此,最好在观察到病情后立即对其进行治疗。下面提到的自然且具有成本效益的补救措施可以帮助您应对pin虫感染。其中一些家庭疗法没有科学数据来支持其对pin虫的影响。它们基于轶事证据。因此,重要的是要咨询医生。另外,在进行补救之前,请确保您对任何成分均不过敏。

- You can also disinfect the washrooms by cleaning them daily with hot water and soap.
How Often You Should Do This
Do this daily until you get rid of pinworms.
5. Essential Oils
a. Tea Tree Oil
The antibacterial and antifungal properties of tea tree oil can help in this regard (9). Tea tree oil also has antiparasitic properties (10). However, there are no direct studies to support its efficacy in killing Enterobius vermicularis (pinworms).
You Will Need
- 1-2 drops of tea tree oil
- 1-2 teaspoons of coconut oil (optional)
What You Have To Do
- Mix the tea tree oil with coconut oil and apply this blend to the affected area every night.
- You can also use tea tree oil directly, but it may irritate those with sensitive skin.
How Often You Should Do This
Do this daily.
b. Clove Essential Oil
The eugenol in clove essential oil exhibits powerful germicidal, antiseptic, and antimicrobial properties (11), (12). These may help treat pinworm infection.
You Will Need
- 1-2 drops of clove essential oil
- 1 teaspoon of coconut oil
What You Have To Do
- Apply clove essential oil directly on the infected area.
- Alternatively, if you have sensitive skin, you can dilute it with coconut oil to avoid irritation.
How Often You Should Do This
Do this once every night.

Grapefruit seeds contain polyphenols that exhibit strong antimicrobial activity. (13), (14). This may help prevent pinworms.
Caution: Consult your physician before going ahead with these supplements.
You Will Need
- 200 mg of grapefruit seed extract supplement
- What You Have To Do
- Consume grapefruit seed extract supplements daily.
How Often You Should Do This
Do this twice a day for a week.

You Will Need
- 1/2 lemon
- 1 glass of water
- Honey (optional)
What You Have To Do

You Will Need
- 1/4 pineapple
- 1 glass of water
What You Have To Do
- Peel and cut the pineapple.
- Blend the cut pineapple pieces with a glass of water.
- Drink this juice.
How Often You Should Do This
Drink this juice once daily.
9. Carrots
The high fiber content of carrots can help improve bowel movements and add bulk to stool (16). This can push the pinworms out of your body via your stool. However, there are insufficient scientific studies to prove the efficacy of carrots in treating pinworms.
You Will Need
- 1 medium-sized carrot
What You Have To Do
- Wash the carrot thoroughly.
- Peel it, shred it, and have the pieces with your meal or as a snack.

What You Have To Do
- Take some rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and wipe the infected anal region with it.
How Often You Should Do This
Do this multiple times a day.

Pumpkins contain compounds called cucurbitacins that are known for their anthelmintic activity (18), (19). This activity can paralyze the worms, making it easier to expel them from your body (20).
You Will Need
- 1 cup of raw pumpkin seeds
- 1/2-1 cup of water
What You Have To Do
- Blend the raw pumpkin seeds with enough water to make a creamy paste.
- Consume this on an empty stomach.

You Will Need
- Vaseline
What You Have To Do
- Apply a generous amount of Vaseline on the infected area.
- Leave it on overnight.
How Often You Should Do This
Do this once daily.

You Will Need
2 medium-sized bitter gourds
- 1 cup of water
- Honey (optional)
What You Have To Do
- Blend the bitter gourds with water.
- You can add honey or any fruit juice to this blend to combat the bitter flavor.

You Will Need
- 1 cup of plain yogurt
What You Have To Do
- Consume a cup of plain yogurt.
How Often You Should Do This
Do this daily.

- Honey (optional)
What You Have To Do
- Add a few drops of wormwood extract to a cup of hot water.
- Consume this tea.
- You can also add honey for flavor.
How Often You Should Do This
Do this 3 times a day for a week.
16. Castor Oil
Castor oil is quite popular for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that are known to destroy and eliminate harmful worms and parasites from your body. Pinworms usually hold on to the walls of your intestines and are hence not excreted from your body. Castor oil can dislodge them from your intestines due to its laxative effects (26), (27). This, in turn, may push the pinworms out of your body via excretion.
You Will Need
- 1 teaspoon of castor oil
What You Have To Do
- Consume a teaspoon of castor oil.
How Often You Should Do This
Do this once daily.
17. Onions
Onions are rich in sulfur. These sulfur globules may help eliminate parasites from your system in a day or two (28). However, there is insufficient scientific evidence to prove this effect.
You Will Need
- 1-2 medium-sized onions
- Water
What You Have To Do
- Peel the onions.
- Wash them thoroughly and cut them into thin slices.
- Put them in a bowl and add a pint of water.
- Let the onion slices soak in the water overnight (for at least 12 hours).
- Strain the water using a cheesecloth.
- Drink this up.
How Often You Should Do This
Do this 3 times a day for 2 days.
These home remedies can help accelerate your recovery from pinworm infection. Additionally, you need to follow some tips to avoid the recurrence of the infection. They are as follows.
Tips To Prevent Pinworms
- Include foods that are rich in fiber in your diet. Raw vegetables, such as carrots and cabbages, whole fruits, and grains can increase the efficiency of treatments against pinworms.
- Consuming probiotic foods, like yogurt and buttermilk, can help in the elimination of pinworms from your system.
- Everyone in an infected household must adopt hygienic practices like washing their hands before every meal, showering daily, washing clothes with hot water, and cleaning the washrooms daily to prevent the spreading of the infection.
- The infected person’s household must be disinfected completely in every way possible. From vacuuming the carpeted areas to scrubbing the floors and changing all the sheets and towels, the entire household must be cleaned following a recovery from pinworms to avoid reinfestation.
Making these lifestyle changes will prove beneficial in the long run and prevent the recurrence of pinworms.
If left untreated for a long period, pinworms are known to lead to some complications that may range in their severity. Some of these complications are as follows.
Long-Term Side Effects Of Pinworms
- Urinary tract infection: Pinworms can enter the urethra and infect your bladder (29).
- Weight loss: As we are aware, pinworms are parasites that feed on the host’s nutrition. This may lead to weight loss in the affected individuals.
- Pelvic inflammatory diseases: Pinworms may cause pelvic inflammatory diseases in females by infecting the linings of the fallopian tubes or ovaries (30).
- Recurring infestations: One of the major drawbacks of a pinworm infection is its ability to resurface if proper hygiene is not maintained by infected individuals and their family members.
Now that you know the complications caused by pinworms when left untreated, it is better to be aware of and treat the infection at the earliest. The remedies mentioned in this article can only complement your medication and not replace it. Hence, consult your doctor to understand which remedy can help accelerate your recovery.
Expert’s Answers For Readers’ Questions
How to tell if you have worms in your stool?
The presence of small, white, thread-like structures confirms the presence of worms in your stool.
What does it feel like to have worms under your skin?
If you feel an itchy and crawling sensation under your skin, there is a possibility that you are infested with worms. However, in some cases, the reason for these sensations could be a minor insect bite, diabetes, or even skin or nerve damage. Always discuss any concerns with your doctor.
