Hi,
Even if you check for threadworms they may not be visible.
The most common reason for such pain or irritation is worm infestation and I suggest you use Albendazole in the appropriate dose.
Other reason could be habitual constipation and if it is where you need to correct it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
