Today, medicine has a considerable number of drugs to fight parasites, both specific and with a broad spectrum of action. How to understand the variety of helminth remedies and choose the most suitable ones? 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. Consultation with a doctor and basic information about medications 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 people and such an opinion: why remove parasites, if they are increasingly used in weight loss programs. But such programs have no 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 on the parasite. Therefore, our natural aversion to parasites in the human body fully reflects the true state of affairs - they are harmful and dangerous to us.
How does helminthiasis manifest itself? The specific symptomatology depends on the type of parasites that have established themselves in the body, but there are also common symptoms characteristic of most helminthiases:
- Anemia- most worms localized in the intestine lead to a violation of the composition of the blood, in particular, to iron deficiency and other types of anemia.
- Stagnation of the bile ducts(cholestasis), constipation is also often the result 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 disturbances, sudden changes in body temperature and constant general weakness, can also be a signal to release thebody from parasites.
- Irritability, sleep disturbanceswith frequent nocturnal awakenings are caused by the body's attempts to rid itself of parasites and worms.
- Fluctuations in body weight(both up and down) can be explained by impaired digestion, decreased blood sugar, causing hunger and forcing a person to transferand gain weight, or vice versa, to lose weight - thanks to the presence of an "internal consumer". This fact dispels the myth about the benefits that can allegedly be obtained from worms in humans.
- Skin problemscan 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, which leads to the activation of the body's immune response, an increase in the level of eosinophils in the blood.
- Epigastric discomfort and altered stools(diarrhea) are quite often clear signs of the presence of worms in the body.
- Joint and muscle paincan occur as a result of parasites migrating through the body in search of a more favorable environment for them.
One of the characteristic signs of helminthiasis in children is mental retardation and inhibition of language skills.
If you notice many of these signs in yourself or in your loved ones, you should see a doctor and get tested.
