The paper presents the changes in the skin of the external genitalia and perianal area, as well as in the mucous caused by enterobiasis. Enterobius vermicularis infestation has been identified in 60 % of patients with changes in the skin and mucous membranes. The influence of mature pinworms and their eggs on the vulva, causes a local reaction, which is accompanied by itching, discomfort, swelling, change in consistency and color of vaginal discharge. Only in 30 % of infected patients the complaint "night itch" was noted. Colposcopy changes of the vaginal mucosa and cervix have been detected in all women with enterobiasis.

Until the seventh week of human embryonic development of both sexes have very similar primordia of genitalia represented by two undifferentiated gonads two mesonephric ducts, which originate the male genital tract and two paramesonephric ducts develop the female genital tract. Genital tubercle, two labiouretrales folds and two labioscrotal folds: Externally the same basic elements that are distinguished in both sexes. From SRY gene expression that occurs during the eighth week a series of morphophysiological events leading establishing a clear sexual dimorphism starts. If the resulting gonad is a testis produced hormones induce masculinization of internal and external genitalia, as well as outline the breast. However, if an ovary is formed or not formed gonads, internal and external genitalia develop in female sense. Genetic sex is not always related to the differentiation of external genitalia or genital tract that is why we consider separately each. This article explores the morphological differentiation into male and female connection, as well as the molecular regulation of the gonads, genital tract and external genitalia.
