Every day more and more bacterial, viral and parasitic agents are settling in people. The human body is considered an attractive space for the vitality 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 harm do they do to the body? How to know if there are parasites in the body? What keeps them away 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, as nutrients enter the body. Most often, worms infect the intestinal canal. But with a huge number of them, along with blood, helminths begin to migrate throughout the body, affecting not only neighboring organs, but also the visual organ, the membranes of the brain and genitals.
The appearance of spots on the skin, peeling or redness, the appearance of premature wrinkles and acne on the face area should alert anyone. Such symptoms indicate the presence of helminth infection of the body.
Any type of worm adversely affects the function of the immune forces, causing 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 cause 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;
- difficulty with kidney structures;
- development of fibroids.
Pinworms and opisthorchiasis often lead to appendicitis, pancreatitis and dyskinesia of the bile ducts.
In practice, the general symptoms are also distinguished:
- 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 feeling of discomfort in the stomach or intestinal canal;
- constipation or persistent diarrhea;
- bad dream;
- irritation and nervousness;
- vitamin deficiency.
Most often, the signs of parasites in the human body are characterized by impaired functioning of the digestive tract.
Constipation can be followed by diarrhea. For all of this, such a process is long-term. A patient with diarrhea can go to the bathroom at least three or 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.
The signs of the presence of parasites in the human body in childhood are often accompanied by grinding of teeth during a night's rest.
If a child has pinworms or roundworms, itching often occurs in the anorectal region. This interferes with adequate sleep, causing 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, the necessary components are missing. Therefore, if there are parasites in the intestine, the symptoms should be recognized as soon as possible.
Types of microorganisms
In nature there are 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 settles in the alimentary canal. Most often, the pathology occurs in children under the age of ten. They live in the intestinal canal, but during the night's rest they come out and lay eggs in the folds of the skin.
This type of worm enters the body through dirty hands, poorly washed vegetables, sand. They have the ability to attach themselves to the intestinal walls through suction cups. An egg ripens within six hours.
Parasitic infection is characterized by:
- development of severe itching;
- the appearance of white spots in the stool;
- loss of appetite;
- irritation;
- bad sleep.
The disease in contact with pinworms is called enterobiasis. The removal of helminthic agents from the body does not require much effort. It is enough to drink anthelmintic drugs once and go on a diet.
The course of treatment should be repeated in two to three weeks. This will destroy the rest, already mature individuals.
Toxocars
This type of helminth 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 enter the soil or sand, where the worms can live in an inactive state for a long time.
When helminths enter the body, a person is considered the final owner. They do not come out, but at the same time they are transported throughout the body through the vascular tubules.
Ascaris
These helminths are considered the most common, but less dangerous than the others. Nematodes live mainly in the intestinal cavity. But in the absence of a therapeutic process, they can settle in the liver, meninges and visual organ.
Symptoms of ascariasis:
- allergic manifestations;
- malfunctions of the digestive organs;
- manifestation of bronchial asthma;
- the appearance of a convulsive state in childhood;
- increase in temperature indicators.
Parasites that live in a person for a long time can lead to pneumonia, bronchitis, tuberculosis, hemoptysis, rupture of blood vessels in the lungs, intestinal obstruction and purulent processes.
Giardia
Colonies of Giardia in the intestinal canal of children under the age of ten to twelve years. They are rarely characterized by 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 diseases develop.
Wide ribbon
A type of flat worm that can be up to ten meters long. In the human body, they are found in a crowded form.
Infection occurs when raw fish products are consumed.
Features:
- exhaustion of the body;
- anemia;
- regular abdominal pain;
- nausea;
- vomiting in the morning after sleep;
- constant fatigue;
- sleepiness.
Tapeworms can be seen in the stool. It will appear as small white segments.
Diagnostics
Helminthic agents are difficult to detect, especially soon after infection.
A few years ago, parasite diagnosis included two methods of detecting worms: stool analysis and duodenal intubation. They allowed us to see fragments, larvae and eggs of helminths. But such techniques have not always helped to detect infectious agents.
There are several modern diagnostic methods:
- stool analysis at least three times;
- perform enzyme immunoassays;
- perform serological diagnostics;
- ultrasound examination of internal organs;
- magnetic resonance or computerized imaging;
- endobiopsy;
- PCR analysis.
If parasitic diseases are diagnosed, it is necessary 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 harvested.
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 infection, it will not be difficult to remove them again.
Drugs
All therapy depends on which form of worms entered the body. If you see any signs of parasite infestation, you need to go to the doctor. Most often, such problems are addressed by an infectious disease specialist and a general practitioner.
Currently, pharmaceutical companies offer a wide range of drugs approved for use in children and adults.
If there are parasites in the stomach, hepatoprotective and enzymatic preparations should be taken to restore the work of the organ.
Cleaning from parasites always leads to rupture of the digestive canal and the manifestation of dysbiosis. To at least slightly reduce the discomfort, it is worth using lacto and bifidobacteria.
Medicines have negative effects on the whole body. Therefore, some patients carry out antiparasitic cleansing of the body using folk methods.
There are many effective ways.
Application of absinthe
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 absorbed instantly and have an immunostimulating effect.
Such cleansing of the body from parasites allows you to get rid of nematodes, pinworms, tapeworms, cocci, lamblia and amoebas.
It is necessary to wipe with wormwood at home thirty minutes before meals in the morning and in the evening. The course of therapy: from fourteen to twenty days.
Garlic applications
This product is considered unique. Garlic has several properties at the same time: antibacterial, antiseptic, antihelminthic, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory. The fact is that phytoncides and essential oils, which worms do not like, are the active components.
