When to seek medical advice
By Mayo Clinic staffIf you have gastrointestinal problems that won't go away, such as abdominal pain, diarrhea or nausea, consult your doctor.
However, if you have only mild ascariasis, you may never need medical attention. While symptomatic infections usually warrant treatment, infections with no symptoms typically don't need to be treated. In some cases, ascariasis will resolve on its own. This occurs when there are no male worms to mate with females and the females eventually die.
