I have helminthophobia (or parasitophobia, vermiphobia, or whatever else it goes by) ever since I had pinworms as a child. Guess what? 13 years later, I have pinworms again and suspect a customer gave them to me through work (or my kids got it and they are asymptomatic). The psychological damage of feeling them pass and the fear has caused me to skip defecating altogether. I need to, though, to get rid of the little buggers and to not screw up my body. I just can't get past that feeling or fact. My stomach is bloating from holding it in and I'm constantly in pain. How can I get over this irrational fear??

well holding in feces is not a very healthy thing to be doing even if its in regards to pin worms now the thing is you need to make sure you aren't constipated because this can lead to a long hospital stay where you have to have surgery to clean out the feces and thats not any fun you can get very sick and run a temperature and start throwing it up thats not any fun either it can dump into other parts of your system and cause all kinds of problems you don't want to have go see your dr and get this straightened out before it creates other problems which you don't want to have only you can come to grips with this nobody else can do it for you start thinking about your health
