I'm wondering..

I've had what I think is pinworms for about two or three years and I'm to nervous and embarrassed to tell my mom tht I have worms coming out of my bum. Please tell me how I can help myself or anything I can do? Please help me! I'm 13 years old and a girl.

They can make you sick. I'm sure if they will kill you or not. I'll have to do some research on that.
Can I ask why you don't want to go to the Dr? It will be a painless thing to do and you will get medication right away to get rid of them.

Do mot be embarrassed. I'm a mother myself and if my daughter had this going on I would want to know right away.
Just tell your mom that you've noticed something unusual in your stools and need to see the Dr. It may not be pin worms at all but you really need to be checked. It's an easy test and there are meds that will take care of the problem if that's what's going on. There is no over the counter treatment that I know of so it will have to be a Dr that you see.
