How to differentiate between hemorrhoids and worms?

Hemorrhoids typically cause irritation, itching, and sometimes bleeding, often related to constipation or diarrhea. Intestinal worms, on the other hand, usually cause itching around the anus, and in severe cases, can be accompanied by abdominal cramps or vomiting. Worms may be visible around the anus at night or in the stool. If you have concerns, it's best to consult with a pharmacist or doctor for personalized advice and treatment options.
