Hi Giovanni, Welcome to the Forums. I'm glad you wrote, but am so sorry to read about your difficulties.

 

Where do you live? And over the years, have you ever been able to notice anything that made your tics worse? That would help give us some clue. Please write back, we will watch for a reply. Sheila

Thanks for writing back. Please see a doctor to find out what the cause of the itching might be. I know it must be embarrassing to talk to anyone about, but for example, two things that can cause the symptoms you are having are parasites or a candida (yeast) infection. Both of these can also play a role in tics. Maybe the itching is aggravating your entire system, also.

 

It would be good to first focus on learning the cause of the itching and what can be done to give relief. In addition to the two issues above, there can be other causes for anal itching and it is important to see a doctor to rule other possibilities out.

 

Is seeing a doctor for this something you can do?

hi mam i already consulted a doctor about this ticlish sensation around my tailbone the doctor said it is just worm but there is no single worm came out and i still feel this ticlish sensation what could it be ?

[Sheila]

Giovanni, it would be good if you could get more information from a doctor who will treat whatever your problem is.

 

Since you have been told it is worms, one possibility is pinworms which can cause the itching you describe.

 

This article has some information on it. Cleveland clinic on pinworms. It also tells how the whole family can help with the problem.

 

Does the itching get worse at night? Some report that is the case with pinworms.

 

I don't know whether this is the issue you are having, but it seems you have had the problem for a few years (right?) and you really need a doctor to treat it.

 

Whatever the problem is, it shouldn't go on this long. You must be very uncomfortable. Are you in a location where you can see a different doctor?

 

Separate from the itching problem, do you have any other symptoms with your tics? Have you ever noticed if something makes them worse--like something you eat? Or on rainy days, etc?

Hello Sheila

I hope you don't mind contacting you.

My son started having really strong tics 2 months ago. At the time this started he had pinworms. The doctor didn't think it was related to the pinworms. He started to get much better, but a couple of weeks ago he got much worse again. My son was complaining of an itchy bottom when the tic symptoms started again. The dr gave us more medication for the pinworm, but still said it was not relation with the tics.

My son still has tics even after the medication.

Hi Sonias, I'm glad you wrote and apologize that I didn't see your note come in. I'm sorry your son has tics again. One thing I mentioned before--and of course this is just a guess since it is not possible to diagnose from a distance (and on top of that I'm not a physician) is that a yeast infection can cause an itchy bottom, as can parasites.

 

We hear from a number of people that a candida yeast overgrowth has aggravated tics. We are usually familiar that women can get a yeast infection, but males can also and it can affect the gut.

 

There are medications for yeast (fungal) infections. In the US, typical ones are Nystatin and Diflucan in case it would help to try that. A doctor needs to prescribe. There are also natural things that people take for yeast infections.

 

What is his diet like? He should cut out ALL sugars. Also he should take probiotics. Can you get that type of supplement where you live?

 

Again, I don't know if that is his problem but it is very common and would be worth looking into.

 

Let me know if this made sense! Sheila
