  1. Hello

    Please forgive if I refer with it to wrong forum . In such case I would appreciate direction to the
    right place .

    I have rather embarrassing problem that's why I decided to post here before I go search for a
    specialist.

    I was and am having a very rough time since 3 months . I lost closest family member which set me off
    from reality . I'm not going out much , I don't eat well and I generally have a bad mood . I also
    don't drink much water lately . The tub water is like coffee and because I don't go out I don't get
    fresh supplies. Lots of coffee , delivery food and soft drinks. In result of that I put on some
    weight. Tho I'm regular in the gym so I don't worry much about it. I'm not fit mentally to do it
    right now , need some more time .

    I'm saying that because I'm guessing that mine improper diet might have something to do with that.

    For couple of days (10 or so) I feel frequently some tickle in my butt. It might last for a minute
    and reappear randomly . 3 times a day , sometimes more. It's literally tickling me inside.

    It's not itchy sensation , it's tickling till I have to move left right against the chair in order
    to stop it. If I move or contract my butt muscle it will stop. That at times might return after a
    while . It happen in different times of the day , sometimes night.

    Do you have any idea what could it be ? If it's a possibility of parasite , are there any things I
    could drink to get rid of that ? Any herbal stuff to clean the system a bit ?

    Once again , please forgive me if I post it in the wrong forum. I will appreciate any tips or
    suggestions . Really feel embarrass to go to doctor and ask him to look into my butt with a
    torch light.

    best regards

    There are a couple of types of common parasites that may tickle you when they move. Some try to exit
    via the anus and this can cause itching and tickling, too. A visit to the doctor can verify whether
    any parasites are present. Sometimes stool samples are required, but if you have parasites active
    enough to tickle you, they may be obvious to the examining doctor.

    You can also take a look at your own stool and look for anything suspicious. You can check out your
    perianal area with a mirror and look for signs of problems as well. Still, it's more reliable to
    have a doctor do this.

    Lots of things. Rashes, neurological problems, hemorrhoids, neoplasms, etc. A doctor could help you
    isolate the cause.

    There are oral drugs that will kill most parasites in a single dose or within a few doses. It's a
    simple matter of drinking the medication, which kills the parasite(s), and then the latter passes
    out in feces.

    I understand, but it's the only way to actually know. Just describing the symptoms here won't get
    you very far.

    Thank you very much for your time . Could you kindly tell me what specialist will be most
    appropriate for such problems ?

    Once again thank you for your time.

    Start with a general practitioner, in order to rule out any other causes. He'll direct you to a
    specialist if required.
