In the overwhelming majority of cases, worms in the vagina are pinworms who have lost their way.
Typically pinworm will end up in the vagina when pinworm eggs hatch on the skin of a girl, and the larvae crawl to the vagina. In fact, this can happen in about 20% of cases where a girl has pinworm. The good news is that pinworms in the vagina will usually die out on their own.

I have microscopic black threadworms Well that’s what they look like when I wipe and my vaginal area and buttocks. I’m also diagnosed with Schistosomiasis and it’s been complete hell fighting with doctors. A word of advice please ask them to do the ELISA blood test for antibodies for a particular worm that you think you may have. The stool samples came back negative cuz they use the wrong technique fluke eggs don’t float they sink. FYI But I believe I still have another parasitic infection with these nodules on my skin filled with weird claw things with the tail. All microscopic & yes I have a microscope be safe everyone.
Please consider the possible diagnosis of “restless leg syndrome” for vaginal sensations, but no identifiaction of actua worms. Find a physician who takes this seriously. It can happen in moderate to severe cases.
