Pinworm infection is usually accompanied with intense itching at the anal area. Other symptoms include trouble sleeping (as a result of itching), irritability (from lack of sleep and constant itching), and in severe cases weight loss and loss of appetite.
Your anus itches because the female pinworm comes out to lay her eggs in the anal area. A test for pinworms is putting a piece of tape on the tender part of the anus before bed, in the morning before showering or going to the bathroom, remove the tape and inspect for thread like things. A doctor can also give an anal examine or examine a stool sample. However, these tests are not always conclusive.
