The reference material indicates that the question "Is it piles or worms?" is related to potential causes of an itchy bottom. The possibilities presented are haemorrhoids (piles) or threadworms.
Here's a breakdown of the differences to help determine the correct answer:
- Threadworms: Primarily affect children, symptoms worsen at night, and you may see small, thread-like worms in the stool.
- Haemorrhoids (Piles): Swellings in or around the anus, often accompanied by pain and blood during bowel movements.
Therefore, the answer depends on the specific symptoms being experienced. A person experiencing these symptoms needs to observe them and consider the possibility of either threadworms or haemorrhoids.
