Haemorrhoids or something else?

This is long so I appreciate your reading!
Back at the end of June I went to the toilet after a night of drinking and passed a lot of blood. It happened for 5 more bowel movements and then stopped other than spotting.
A few weeks later and the beginning of July, I went to the toilet and realised I had worms. It was unmistakeable as there were moving worms on the toilet paper and in the bowl! All night I could feel them crawling inside me and in my vagina which was so distressing. I changed my bed, washed everything as you should and took Ovex. The next few weeks were so hard, I was sure they were moving around my body which I now realise wasn't the case but was me being stressed and worrying. That night was the first and last time I saw moving worms.
I went to my GP regarding the blood and was sent for a sigmoidoscopy. Nothing was found except 2 internal hemmeroids.
I still have strange sensations around the opening of my anus. It isn't like the crawling I had before though. It's almost like a tickle at all times of the day. I wouldn't say it itches, but I am aware of a feeling there. I have taken enough ovex to keep the company in business but the feelings remain. Every time I feel anything, I go to the toilet and crouch over a mirror to check for worms and I can't ever see anything. Occasionally, I will have a small amount of faecal matter left over in the anus which I have read is normal if you have hemmeroids and also some mucous.
Now, can I stop my 6 months of stressing and trust the worms have gone and that what I am feeling is from the hemmeroids and possibly my mind being too in tune with every little feeling down there because I am so worried?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
I feel like I'm losing my mind worrying!

I never suffered with anything like this before June. I think passing the blood firstly was a burst hemmeroid. Then the worms just happened to follow. No idea how I got them as I'm not around children. I suspect from work - started a new job with shared loos and some questionable people!
Having cleared the worms up (although not mentally) I do think i am now just dealing with the left over hemmeroids. I tried anusol suppositories which did help! When I crouch over a mirror, I can pop one of the internal hemmeroids out but it can also go back in. I think this is where the feelings around my anus are coming from because it is right at the opening. I wouldn't say it's painful at all, just causes some strange sensations down and sometimes a brief dull ache so wouldn't want to go down the route of surgery at the moment!
