How long after taking Ovex should threadworms dissapear?

Posted , 26 users are following.

Having not had threadworms since I was young I was surprised to find that I got them around my 21st birthday (6th Apr). After 2 weeks they seemed to just go away after all the hygiene routines and without medication. Phew! However, just this week my girlfriend complained about having them and I then realised I do too. We have both taken the Ovex tablets on Saturday but to no avail - they are still here! Does Ovex take a while to work or should they be gone by the next day? Can I just take another tablet now or do I have to wait the 2 weeks reinfection period? Having read some comments on here I fear the worst, I hope something can be done. Thanks.

    I'm in your situation right now bro, the truth is, i can't tell my parents, i get scared even though they wont get annoyed. But i learnt to overcome it.

    1st thing you need to do, eat as many carrots as possible, apparently if you eat carrots it will reduce the population in the worms as possible and will stop them from laying eggs for a while

    2nd thing: Wear airtight pants, briefs but not boxers. When you do this the worms cannot spread to outsiders. The mother worm usually comes out to lay more eggs outside the anus, and some eggs usually slip out onto your bed covers and infect your bedsheets

    3rd thing: Make sure you shower well, wash your anus area daily.

    4th thing: Change your bed sheets as much as possible unless you're using airtight pants then do it once a week, if you seem paranoid about this then maybe you might wanna change the sheets maybe 2 days a week.

    5th thing: You don't want to go for the ovex that completely wipes them out, this makes them die but their eggs still live on and they come back, what you need to do is go for the paralysis ovex, the one that paralyses the worms. Once they are paralysed you can go to the toilet, do your business and they'll come out cleaner than a whistle. You can purchase ovex easily for only £2 at a local pharmasist. Hope it helps dude, i know how you feel.

      That is a terrible idea, just tell ur parents, im 13 this happened to me today, everybody in your house needs to be treated with either Piperazine Phosphate or Menbendazole as soon as possible, all bed linen and towels should be washed and ur hygiene regime should become extremely strict

    I am 27 and have never had threadworms before until a few months ago. It started in October so I went to the pharmacy and got ovex. After a month everything seemed fine but then they accurred again in November I was horrified to see them back so used ovex again . After two months of them gone they reoccurred again in Feb which is now and I've just taken my ovex tablet.  It usually gets rid of them in one to two weeks. But my question to anyone is could these worms be causing my cycstytis I keep getting it and about twice in a month and I'm bleeding most days it's so annoying. Also forgot to say my partner has the worms also. Whenever I notice that I have them he notices he has them too.  Also another point is I know I have them when I start passing wing often. Which I don't normally do.  So I have taken ovex three times now and if they come back I'm going to see my doctor to get a liquid medicine prescribed which will hopefully do the trick. Also another good thing to mention is along with the good hygiene routine do not eat in the bedroom. I don't like to think that I can never get rid of these parasites , I hope this isn't true.  But I realise they are very difficult to get rid of.

    Hi. If you read into natural remedies there are so many things to help. Such as eating pumpkin seeds in a regular basis. Cloves kill the eggs so you can use it as in oil externally and ground form to ingest.

    We sleep in sleeping bags when we have them. Get up and get changed in the bath and shower down. Wash towels, clothes and sleeping bags every day.

    Coconut oil and crushed garlic all over your private area going to bed. Coconut oil during the day.

    It's worth doing a little natural research as once you do get rid, you can keep them from ever getting you again.

    Having them as an adult female is so terrible. The migrating ones cause me abdominal pain and urinary infection if I don't sort it quickly.

    Good luck x
