Today, medicine has a large number of drugs to combat parasites, both specific and broad spectrum of action. How to understand the variety of helminth remedies and choose the most suitable one? It is obvious that the selection of such drugs requires an individual approach, taking into account the characteristics of the organism, the course of helminthiasis and concomitant diseases. A doctor's consultation and basic information about drugs will help to make the right choice and purchase the most acceptable remedies for parasites in the body.
Symptoms of parasitic invasion
Sometimes you can hear from people and such an opinion - why remove parasites, if they are increasingly used in weight loss programs. But such programs do not have a scientific basis and are more often than not ordinary quackery.
In nature there is no organism that would benefit from the parasitic activity of the worms inside it. Sooner or later, this activity leads to the destruction of internal organs and the death of the organism itself, which feeds the parasite. Therefore, our natural aversion to any parasites in the human body fully reflects the true state of affairs - they are harmful and dangerous for us.
How do helminthiases manifest themselves? The specific symptomatology depends on the type of parasites that have settled in the body, but there are also common symptoms characteristic of most helminthiases:
- Anemia- most of the worms localized in the intestine lead to a violation of the blood composition, in particular, to iron deficiency and other types of anemia.
- Stagnation in the bile ducts(cholestasis), constipation is also often a consequence of deterioration of peristalsis and obstruction of the bile ducts caused by parasitic invasion.
- CFS- a condition called chronic fatigue syndrome, accompanied by emotional instability, loss of concentration, memory impairment, jumps in body temperature and constant general weakness, can also be a signal to clear the body of parasites.
- Irritability, sleep disturbanceswith frequent nocturnal awakenings are caused by the body's attempts to free itself from parasites and worms.
- Fluctuations in body weight(both in the direction of increasing weight and decreasing) can be explained by impaired digestion, a decrease in blood sugar levels, causing hunger and forcing a person to transfer and gain weight, or vice versa, to lose weight - due to the presence of an "internal consumer". This fact debunks the myth about the benefits that can allegedly be obtained from worms in humans.
- Skin problemsmay be a consequence of the toxic activity of opisthorchus, fungi, lamblia and other protozoan parasites. Most often they are expressed by urticaria, atopic dermatitis, eczema.
- Allergic reactionscauses indigestion, leading to activation of the body's immune response, an increase in the level of eosinophils in the blood.
- Epigastric discomfort and impaired stool(diarrhea) are quite often clear signs of the presence of worms in the body.
- Joint and muscle painmay occur as a result of the migration of parasites in the body in search of a more favorable environment for them.
One of the signs of helminthiasis characteristic of children are mental retardation and inhibition of speech abilities.
If you notice several of these signs in yourself or your loved ones, you need to see a doctor and get tested.
