I've read this before and did everything, took every drug possible and I don't think it is working. I need to protect my vaginal area I'm hypochondriac and OCD. How to make sure I'm completely clean?

In that case, you need to consult a psychotherapist who will help you adopt ways to fight ideas of fixation on health issues mainly via cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) +/-medications if deemed necessary, as your problem is most likely psychological and not related to an actual organic complaint. The measures mentioned in my previous response can also be considered as preventative measures against pinworm infection, so medically speaking, if you are following those vigilantly (and I am sure you are), you have no reason to worry about worm infestation.
