After reading this article, you can study the problem in more detail and understand in time how to determine the presence of parasites in the body, that is, restore a complete picture of your body.

What parasites can be in our body

Basically, the organisms that parasitize our organs are divided into two types: endoparasites and ectoparasites.

Endoparasites parasitize our bodies and other tall organisms, live inside them and feed on the cells of the organisms. Endoparasites are all worms, lamblia, toxoplasma, echinococcus. It can be both a fungus and bacteria, viruses.

The second type of bacteria are ectoparasites. They live on the surface of bodies, that is, in our nature, on our body. Their food is the cells of our tissues, for example the skin, as well as our blood. More specifically, these are parasites such as bedbugs, lice, fleas, ticks. Mosquitoes and flies are also referred to as ectoparasites.

How to determine the presence of parasites in the body based on symptoms

How to find out if there are parasites in the body is possible both in its appearance and in its internal state.

There are many symptoms associated with parasites. Since these symptoms are quite widespread, they are also symptoms of common diseases, people usually do not even suspect their presence in the body. Therefore, the symptoms are treated separately and, in turn, reappear after treatment.

Often you can find doctors' recommendations for starting treatment when different symptoms of the following groups with prophylactic drugs against parasites appear. Either way, it will help you become healthier. Below we will go through a complete list of symptoms, divided into groups, and you will learn how to determine if there are parasites in your body.

Symptoms related to the digestive tract

1. constipation.Worms can be quite large. Therefore, they can block some of the outlets of the digestive organs. Some parasites can completely close the intestinal and bile ducts. This usually affects the stool. It can become rare and difficult;
2. diarrhea.It is generally believed that diarrhea is a well-known reaction to a poor diet. But that's not always the case. Many bacteria produce hormones that affect stool in this way;
3. gas and bloating.Very often parasites are found in the small intestine and this usually leads to flatulence, followed by abundant gas. If the swelling is almost constant, then this is an opportunity to think about the possible presence of parasites in the body;
4. irritable bowel syndrome.Since parasites live off the fact that they feed on substances in our body, for example fats, the intestinal walls are very often irritated. And this is followed by a certain amount of symptoms and a decrease in nutrient absorption. Then the substances are not absorbed, but immediately enter the large intestine, which leads to problems with the digestive tract.

Almost any parasitic invasion in the blood test will increase eosinophilic cells.

Joint and muscle pain

Parasites have a specific ability. They can live, moving through the body, having the task of settling in the most convenient place in the body. One such place is the joint fluid and muscles. Symptoms are painful, usually similar to those of arthritis, but this is not always the case.

Parasites cause severe damage to muscle tissue or immunity. Therefore, their presence in the body turns into muscle pain.

External manifestations of parasites

1. allergies.Parasites constantly release toxins. Toxins cause a lot of damage to the body, as large doses of special protective cells are released. They negatively affect the body and this leads to the appearance of allergic reactions;
2. problematic skin.Parasites can cause not only allergies, but also various skin ulcers, acne or pimples and other external reactions. So think again if you have persistent skin problems. This will help establish the presence of worms;
3. anemia.Many bacteria "steal" nutrients and this leads to blood loss. From this follows a lack of iron;
4. weight problems.It is generally accepted that worms can only reduce weight, but this is a big misconception, as parasites can gain weight. With great weight loss, the reason always lies in the fact that worms absorb our food faster than ourselves. The weight loss symptom is a proven way to tell if you have worms. But obesity is more complicated. It appears due to the low sugar level in our blood. As a result, an irresistible appetite appears, as this negatively affects the metabolism. Furthermore, obesity can only be a defensive reaction of the body.

For intestinal parasites, the main symptom is fever, nausea, vomiting, loose stools and hives on the skin /

Symptoms caused by the nervous system

1. Nervousness.It appears due to irritation by parasites of important organs, even of a minor nature. However, the person may not notice any other symptoms. So you can identify the life of parasitic organisms based on the state of your nervous system.
2. Sleep disturbances.Very often a person associates constant awakenings with diseases of the nervous system, but more often the matter is elsewhere. At night, the liver starts working and when it removes toxic substances, our body is very active. Because of this, there may be awakenings during sleep.

3. Teeth grinding in sleep.Some types of bacteria can irritate the body so much that bruxism is possible. Also, this is a very common symptom. Thanks to him you can easily learn to recognize the presence of foreign bodies in the organs of an adult or, more often, a child.
4. Chronic fatigue syndrome.This symptom, which in some cases is an individual disease, includes many others. These are apathy, depression, fatigue, decreased attention. This is due to the fact that parasites consume a huge amount of nutrients and nutrients. And, of course, the body stops grasping them.

If the brain is affected by cysticercosis, then nervousness, headache, convulsions, pseudo-epileptic seizures will be characteristic.

Other symptoms

1. Immune disorders.Persistent colds, runny nose, cough can be the consequences of a weak immune system. And this, in turn, weakened due to a lack of nutrients.
2. Oncological diseases.One of the most common causes of organ failure and cancer is a parasitic organism. They can sit in your organs so much that it often leads to long-term consequences - serious illness.
3. Inflammation of the airways.It has already been said about the movement of worms throughout the body. Another of the most comfortable places is the airways. Subsequently, there is cough, phlegm and a runny nose.

Conclusion

These are the real symptoms of parasites. Worms can live in your body for a long time.

It is very important to know in time how to check their presence and prevent possible consequences.
