Hi, Ihave Had Some Abnormal Symptoms Such As Itchy Skin

Hi, Ihave had some abnormal symptoms such as itchy skin all over eevery time Ilay down anywhere to sleep, irregular periods, moodyness, weight gain etc etc, my doctor has been looking at early menopause as the reason. I had cervical cancer at 19 and had most of the cervix removed, hence ovulation becomes more painful as iIget older, being 44 now. Anyway, whilst researching on my own, i came across information on parasitic worms. I noted that many symptoms were similar although Ilacked some like itchy anal area or visuals of any parasites. Nevertheless, iItook a 3 day course of all wormers and being pedantric, am doing a second 3 day course iimmediately after. What Ihave found is, that all over skin itching iIsuffered for years that was considered all in the mind by my doctors has all but gone, I now sleep easier without aid, although now Ifeel tired halfway through the day but am now passing strong smelling gas althoughbowel movement seems to be working better than it has in ages. Also, i seem to have less bloating and my tummy does not appear as swollen. Is this a sign that I did in fact have parasitic worms? Or does the worming treatment contain certain properties that can do other things within the body? As an enviro scientist and animal ecologist Iam only really knowledgeable about parasites in animals and plants so I appreciate your expertise on this subject
