Hi
Thanks for your query at HCM.
I understand your query and concern.
What are your symptoms that you think you have parasitic infections?
Have you seen any change in bowel habits?
Various infections by parasites like enterobius vermicularis, roundworms,tapeworm,etc.
I suggest if you want to diagnose infections you have to get stool routine microscopy examination done for RBC, Pus cells, ova and cysts.
You have to collect stool in a sterile container for three days and get it investigated.
Based on that you can take treatment mebendazole, etc. You also must get your haemtological parameters evaluated.
I hope I answered your query.

You can take a follow-up query.
