Question
Hello doctor,
I went to the clinic for an ultrasound, the doctor told me that I had a pinworm in my bile duct, gave me two injections to let the worms get a place to turn my head down and gave me 2.5 days of medicine to drink. It helps me when I lie down, but it hurts to walk, I have to go hunchback to be comfortable. I was treated for a day and two nights. So the doctor told me how to treat men with pinworms entering the biliary tract? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “How do men get pinworms entering the biliary tract? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You need to go to the doctor to evaluate the status of the biliary tract, need an ultrasound of the biliary tract and/or magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography to consider the treatment plan. Usually, worm disease is treated with medical therapy, medication is stable, in some cases, it is necessary to intervene to remove the worm carcass through endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Currently, there are almost no cases requiring surgery. It is also possible that you have other medical conditions, so you need to be examined and evaluated specifically before choosing a treatment method.
If you still have questions about men with pinworms entering the biliary tract, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
