Every day more and more various bacterial, viral and parasitic agents settle in people. The human body is considered to be an attractive space for the viability of various microorganisms.
Once in the body, microbes lead to the development of various diseases. Most of them are latent, while others have similar symptoms with other diseases.
Parasites often appear in the human body. What types are they divided into and what damage do they do to the body? How to know if there are parasites in the body? What drives them out and what is the most effective treatment?
Symptoms of a helminth infection
Parasites in the human body quickly get used to the new environment. Such flora is favorable for them, since nutrients enter the body. Most often, worms infect the intestinal canal. But with a huge amount of them, along with the blood, helminths begin to migrate throughout the body, affecting not only neighboring organs, but also the visual organ, the membranes of the brain and the genitals.
The appearance of spots on the skin, peeling or redness, the appearance of early wrinkles and acne on the facial area should alert any person. Such symptoms indicate the presence of helminthic infection of the body.
Any type of worm adversely affects the functionality of the immune forces, resulting in sore throat, sinus inflammation, snoring, polyps and sinusitis.
In men, signs of the presence of parasites in the body are manifested in the form of cystitis, prostatitis, the appearance of sand and stones in the kidneys and bladder, adenoma and impotence.
Infection with some types of helminths can lead to brain damage.
Symptoms of parasites in the body in women can hide in:
- severe pain during menstruation;
- violation of the cycle;
- an abnormal process in the ovarian area;
- fibrocystic mastopathy;
- adrenal inflammation;
- fibroids;
- difficulties with renal structures;
- fibroid development.
Pinworms and opisthorchiasis often lead to appendicitis, pancreatitis and dyskinesia of the bile ducts.
General symptoms are also distinguished in practice:
- deterioration of the functionality of the immune forces;
- allergic reactions;
- a sharp change in body weight;
- an unexpected skin problem;
- chronic fatigue;
- dysbiosis;
- anemia;
- regular uncomfortable feeling inside the stomach or intestinal canal;
- constipation or persistent diarrhea;
- bad dream;
- irritation and nervousness;
- vitamin deficiency.
Most often, signs of parasites in the human body are characterized by impaired functioning of the digestive tract.
Constipation can be followed by diarrhea. To all this, such a process is long-term. A patient with diarrhea can visit the toilet at least three to four times a day.
After eating, the patient is constantly haunted by bloating and gas formation. As a result of this phenomenon, a pathological process begins.
Signs of the presence of parasites in the human body in childhood are often accompanied by gnashing of teeth during the night's rest.
If a baby has pinworms or roundworms, itching often occurs in the anorectal region. This interferes with proper sleep, leading to irritation, crying and lack of sleep.
In the absence of a treatment process, human parasites lead to the development of oncological diseases. Helminths damage tissue structures and organs.
When an inflammatory process occurs, there is a lack of necessary components. Therefore, if there are parasites in the intestines, the symptoms should be recognized as soon as possible.
Types of microorganisms
In nature, there is a large number of helminths that can live in the body of an adult and a child. When they enter the human body, they parasitize, and people themselves contribute to their existence.
Experts identify the main types of parasites in the human body.
Pinworms
A parasitic infection that takes up residence in the alimentary canal. Most often, pathology occurs in children under the age of ten. They live in the intestinal canal, but during a night's rest they go outside and lay eggs in the skin folds.
This type of worm enters the body through dirty hands, poorly washed vegetables, sand. They have the ability to attach to the intestinal walls using suction cups. One egg ripens within six hours.
Parasitic infection is characterized by:
- development of severe itching;
- the appearance of white spots in the feces;
- loss of appetite;
- irritation;
- bad sleep.
The disease in contact with pinworms is called enterobiasis. Removal of helminthic agents from the body does not require much effort. It is enough to drink anthelmintic medicines once and follow a diet.
The treatment course will need to be repeated in two to three weeks. This will destroy the rest, already matured individuals.
Toxocars
This type of helminthic infection lives in the body of pets. They grow up to thirty centimeters long.
The release of toxocara eggs occurs during the emptying of the intestinal canal in animals. They get into the soil or sand, where the worms can live in an inactive state for a long period.
When helminths enter the body, a person is considered the ultimate owner. They do not come out, but at the same time they are carried throughout the body through the vascular tubules.
Ascaris
These worms are considered the most common, but less dangerous than the rest. Roundworms live mainly in the intestinal cavity. But in the absence of a therapeutic process, they can settle in the liver, meninges, and the visual organ.
Ascariasis symptoms:
- allergic manifestations;
- malfunctions of the digestive organs;
- manifestation of bronchial asthma;
- the appearance of a convulsive state in childhood;
- raising temperature indicators.
Parasites living in a person for a long period of time can lead to pneumonia, bronchitis, tuberculosis, hemoptysis, rupture of blood vessels in the lungs, intestinal obstruction, and purulent processes.
Giardia
Giardia colonies in the intestinal canal in children under the age of ten to twelve years. They are rarely characterized by any symptoms, as a result of which the disease becomes chronic.
Contaminated by contaminated hands, food, and contact with cats.In the absence of therapeutic measures, they migrate to the liver. As a result, serious illnesses develop.
Wide ribbon
A flat type of worm that can be up to ten meters long. In the human body, they are located in a crowded form.
Infection occurs when consuming raw fish products.
Features:
- depletion of the body;
- anemia;
- regular abdominal pain;
- nausea;
- vomiting in the morning after sleep;
- constant fatigue;
- sleepiness.
The tapeworm can be seen in the stool. It will appear as small white segments.
Diagnostics
Helminthic agents are difficult to detect, especially immediately after infection.
A few years ago, the diagnosis of parasites included two methods for detecting worms: analysis of feces and duodenal intubation. They made it possible to see fragments, larvae and eggs of helminths. But such techniques did not always help to detect infectious agents.
There are several modern diagnostic methods:
- analysis of feces at least three times;
- performing enzyme immunoassay;
- performing serological diagnostics;
- ultrasound examination of internal organs;
- computed or magnetic resonance imaging;
- endobiopsy;
- PCR analysis.
If parasitic diseases are diagnosed, then you need to cleanse the body. A parasitologist, infectious disease specialist or gastroenterologist will tell you how to do this.
Check for helminth infestation at least once a year. This infection often occurs in the summer when fresh fruits, vegetables and berries are picked.
Treatment
If parasites are observed in humans, treatment should be determined as soon as possible. In the absence of treatment, various parasitic diseases begin to develop.
Every day they cause more and more damage to internal organs. If people have already been cleansed and treated for helminth infections, then it will not be difficult to remove them again.
Medicines
All therapy depends on which form of worms have entered the body. If you see signs of parasite infestation, you need to go to the doctor. Most often, such problems are dealt with by an infectious disease specialist and a general practitioner.
Currently, pharmaceutical companies offer a wide range of drugs that are approved for use in children and adults.
If parasites are observed in the stomach, hepatoprotective and enzyme preparations should be taken to restore the organ's work.
Cleaning from parasites always leads to disruption of the digestive canal and the manifestation of dysbiosis. In order to at least slightly reduce the discomfort, it is worth using lacto- and bifidobacteria.
Medicines adversely affect the whole body. Therefore, some patients carry out antiparasitic cleaning of the body using folk methods.
There are several effective ways.
Applying wormwood
Cleansing the intestines of parasites often involves the use of wormwood. Various infusions, decoctions, drops are prepared from the herb for ingestion. The active components of the plant are instantly absorbed and have an immunostimulating effect.
Such cleaning of the body from parasites allows you to get rid of roundworms, pinworms, tapeworms, cocci, lamblia and amoebas.
It is necessary to cleanse with wormwood at home thirty minutes before meals in the morning and evening hours. The course of therapy: fourteen to twenty days.
Garlic Applications
This product is considered unique. Garlic has several properties at once: antibacterial, antiseptic, antihelminthic, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory. The thing is that phytoncides and essential oils, which worms do not like, are the active components.
