Every day more and more different bacterial, viral and parasitic pathogens settle in humans. The human body is considered an attractive place for the viability of various microorganisms.
In the body, microbes lead to the development of various diseases. Most of them are latent while others have symptoms similar to other diseases.
Parasites are common in the human body. What types are they divided into and what damage do they cause to the body? How do you know if there are parasites in the body? What is driving them out and what is the most effective treatment?
Symptoms of a worm infection
Parasites in the human body quickly get used to the new environment. Such flora is beneficial for them, as nutrients enter the body. Most often, worms infect the intestinal tract. But with a large amount of them, helminths begin to migrate along with the blood throughout the body, affecting not only neighboring organs, but also the organ of vision, the membranes of the brain and genitals.
The appearance of spots on the skin, peeling or redness, the appearance of early wrinkles and acne on the face area should alarm any person. Such symptoms indicate a helminthic infection of the body.
Every type of worm impairs the functionality of the immune system and leads to sore throats, inflammation of the sinuses, 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 region;
- fibrocystic mastopathy;
- adrenal inflammation;
- fibroids;
- difficulties with kidney structures;
- Myoma development.
Pinworms and opisthorchiasis often lead to appendicitis, pancreatitis and biliary dyskinesia.
General symptoms are also distinguished in practice:
- deterioration of the functionality of the immune forces;
- allergic reactions;
- a sharp change in body weight;
- unexpected skin problem;
- chronic fatigue;
- dysbiosis;
- anemia;
- regular uncomfortable feeling in the stomach or intestines;
- constipation or persistent diarrhea;
- bad dream;
- irritation and nervousness;
- Vitamin deficiency.
Most often, signs of parasites in the human body are characterized by disorders 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 to four times a day.
After eating, the patient is constantly plagued by flatulence 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 grinding teeth during the night's rest.
When a baby has pinworms or roundworms, itching is common in the anorectal area. This interferes with proper sleep and leads 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, the necessary components are missing. Therefore, if there are parasites in the gut, the symptoms should be identified 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 digestive tract. Most often, pathology occurs in children under ten years old. They live in the intestines, but during a night's sleep they go outside and lay eggs in the folds of the skin.
This type of worm gets into the body through dirty hands, poorly washed vegetables and sand. They can be attached to the intestinal walls with suction cups. An egg ripens within six hours.
Parasitic infections are characterized by:
- Development of severe itching;
- the appearance of white spots in the feces;
- loss of appetite;
- irritation;
- bad sleep.
The disease that comes in contact with pinworms is called enterobiasis. Removing helminths from the body does not require much effort. It is enough to drink anthelmintics once and follow a diet.
The course of treatment must be repeated in two to three weeks. This will destroy the rest of the already mature individuals.
Toxocars
This type of helminth infection lives in the body of pets. They grow up to a foot long.
Toxocara eggs are released during the emptying of the intestinal canal in animals. They end up in the ground or in the sand, where the worms can live in an inactive state for a long time.
When helminths enter the body, a person is considered the ultimate owner. They do not go outside, but are simultaneously carried through the body by the vascular tubules.
Ascaris
These worms are considered to be the most common, but less dangerous than the others. Roundworms live mainly in the intestinal cavity. However, without a therapeutic process, they can settle in the liver, meninges and organs of vision.
Ascariasis symptoms:
- allergic manifestations;
- Malfunction of the digestive organs;
- manifestation of bronchial asthma;
- the appearance of a convulsive state in childhood;
- Increase temperature displays.
Parasites that live 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 ten to twelve years of age. They are rarely characterized by symptoms, which makes the disease chronic.
Contaminated through contaminated hands, food and contact with cats.Without therapeutic measures, they migrate to the liver. As a result, serious diseases develop.
Wide ribbon
A flat worm that can be up to ten meters long. In the human body, they are in an overcrowded form.
Infection occurs when consuming raw fish products.
Functions:
- Exhaustion of the body;
- anemia;
- regular abdominal pain;
- nausea;
- Vomiting in the morning after sleeping;
- constant fatigue;
- drowsiness.
The tapeworm can be seen in the chair. It appears as small white segments.
Diagnosis
Helminths are difficult to detect, especially immediately after infection.
A few years ago, the diagnosis of parasites involved two methods of detecting worms: analysis of feces and duodenal intubation. They made it possible to see fragments, larvae and eggs of helminths. However, such techniques did not always help in the detection of infectious agents.
There are various modern diagnostic methods:
- Faecal analysis at least three times;
- performing an enzyme immunoassay;
- perform serological diagnostics;
- Ultrasound examination of the internal organs;
- computed or magnetic resonance imaging;
- endobiopsy;
- PCR analysis.
When parasitic diseases are diagnosed, you need to cleanse the body. A parasitologist, infectious disease specialist, or gastroenterologist will explain 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 started as soon as possible. In the absence of treatment, various parasitic diseases begin to develop.
Every day they damage the internal organs more and more. If people have already been cleaned and treated for helminth infections, it is not difficult to remove them.
Medicines
Every therapy depends on what form of worms got into the body. If you see signs of a parasite infestation, you need to see a doctor. Most often, such problems are treated 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 work of the organ.
Cleansing parasites always leads to a disruption of the digestive tract and the manifestation of dysbiosis. To reduce the discomfort at least slightly, it is worth using lacto- and bifidobacteria.
Medicines have a detrimental effect on the entire body. Therefore, some patients conduct anti-parasitic cleansing of the body using folk methods.
There are several effective ways.
Apply wormwood
Wormwood is often used in the colon cleansing of parasites. Various infusions, decoctions, and drops for ingestion are made from the herb. The active components of the plant are immediately absorbed and have an immune stimulating effect.
By cleaning the body from parasites in this way, you can get rid of roundworms, pinworms, tapeworms, cocci, lamblia and amoeba.
It is necessary to cleanse with wormwood at home 30 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 the same time: antibacterial, antiseptic, antihelminthic, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory. The thing is that phytoncides and essential oils, which worms don't like, are the active components.
How do you get rid of parasites in the human body with garlic?
First method
Cleansing parasites should be done with enemas. To make the solution, you need to take a mug of acidified milk and heat it to a temperature of forty degrees. Then peel the garlic and grate on a fine grater. Pour into the milk and mix well. Let it steep for about ten to fifteen minutes.
Collect the prepared solution in a syringe and carefully insert it into the intestinal canal. Hold for 30 minutes and then empty.
Treatment should last approximately three to five days. These manipulations should be carried out at the same time.
Second method
How do I clean the body from parasites? Garlic horseradish tincture is considered an excellent method of fighting. To do it, you need to take horseradish and three or four cloves of garlic. Rub everything on a fine grater and pour a liter of boiled water.
Let the liquid steep for ten days. Take three times a day. Take a tablespoon of the drink at a time. The anti-parasitic cleansing should last at least seven days.
Soda application
Soda solution is considered an effective but safe treatment. At the same time, worms are quickly eliminated.
There is a tried and tested remedy in folk medicine. It consists in using an enema. To make the solution, take three cups of hot water and two tablespoons of soda. The components are thoroughly mixed together. And then they are inserted into the rectum with the help of a syringe.
This treatment can cleanse the upper digestive system. To cleanse the body, you need to drink a mug of warm water on an empty stomach. Then two hundred milliliters of soda drink are taken in small sips.
You can still live with parasites in your body. But every day they will turn human life into unpleasant sensations.
Someone struggles with cleansing enemas, others take medication, but it is imperative to be treated and cleaned, no matter how. Each method is effective individually.
