Intestinal Worms (Deworming) Treatment in Johor Bahru

Cacing Usus

Intestinal worm infections remain common in Malaysia, particularly in children, those in rural areas, and individuals with inadequate sanitation. The most prevalent types are roundworm (Ascaris), whipworm (Trichuris), hookworm, pinworm (threadworm), and tapeworm. Many infections are asymptomatic, but heavy infestations cause nutritional deficiency, abdominal pain, growth problems in children, and anaemia. Deworming with a single dose of albendazole or mebendazole is simple and effective.

Symptoms of Intestinal Worms (Deworming)

✓Abdominal pain, bloating, and cramping
✓Itching around the anus, especially at night (pinworm)
✓Passage of visible worms in stool
✓Unexplained weight loss despite adequate food intake
✓Anaemia and fatigue (hookworm)
✓Growth faltering and poor school performance in children

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor if you or your child have symptoms suggestive of worm infection, if you see worms in the stool, if a child has persistent abdominal pain or unexplained anaemia, or if you wish to undergo deworming. Mass deworming programmes are recommended for school-age children in Malaysia every 6 months.

Treatment at Klinik Muhibbah

Klinik Muhibbah provides deworming treatment with albendazole 400mg (single dose, suitable from age 2) or mebendazole for intestinal worm infections. Stool microscopy can confirm the type of infection if needed. For pinworm, the entire household should be treated simultaneously and the dose repeated after 2 weeks. We also advise on hygiene measures to prevent re-infection, which is extremely important as re-infection occurs readily without proper precautions.
