A pinworm examination is a test used to detect pinworms, which are small parasitic worms that can infect the intestines, particularly in children. Your doctor may recommend this test if you have symptoms like itching around the anus, especially at night, or if someone in your household has been diagnosed with pinworms. The test typically involves collecting a sample using a special tape or swab applied to the skin around the anus, usually in the morning before bathing, which is then examined under a microscope to look for pinworm eggs.
