wormy sensation

wormy sensation

I've been having this occasional wormy/wigly sensation in the rectum. It occurs sometimes when I pass gas and sometimes it just occurs naturally. It doesn't seem to be worms because I've taken worm medicine on three different occasions and I'm having these sensation. I'm a little paranoid about it, please help if you know anything about this occasional sensation that I've been having.

The first thing that comes to mind would be internal hemorrhoids.  Not all hemorrhoids protrude from the rectum, and when they don't, they can cause the sensation you describe.  It's probably nothing to worry too much about, but keeping yourself regular with additional natural fiber (vs. stimulant laxatives that contain senna, etc.) is the best thing you can do in such cases.  They should calm down without the extra pressure of stool.  Hemorrhoids are nothing more than enlarged veins, and sometimes they get enlarged enough to cause that itching, "wormy" sensation, or even protrude from the rectum or spectacularly rupture.

If you increase your dietary fiber, do it very slowly.  Too often, people go overboard with it and too fast, and it results in gas, cramping, bloating and even diarrhea.  These things take time, and there isn't a "magic pill" that will cure you over night.  If staying regular doesn't help, then it's time to see your doc.  Good luck!
