Every day more and more different bacteria, viruses and parasitic substances inhabit humans. The human body is considered an attractive place for the survival of various microorganisms.
Once germs are in the body, they cause various diseases. Most of them are latent, some have symptoms similar to 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 do you know if there are parasites in the body? What drives them and what is the most effective treatment?
Symptoms of helminth infection
Parasites in the human body quickly adapt to a new environment. Such flora is favorable for them, because nutrients enter the body. Often, worms infect the intestinal tract. However, with a large amount of blood, helminths begin to migrate to all parts of the body, affecting not only neighboring organs, but also the organs of vision, brain membranes, and genitals.
The appearance of spots, peeling or redness on the skin, the appearance of early wrinkles and acne on the face should alert anyone. Such symptoms indicate a helminthic infection in the body.
All types of worms adversely affect the immune system, resulting in sore throat, sinusitis, snoring, polyps and sinusitis.
Symptoms of parasites in men include cystitis, prostatitis, the appearance of sand and stones in the kidneys and bladder, adenomas and impotence.Infection with some types of helminths can cause brain damage.
In women, signs of parasites in the body may be hidden:
- severe pain during menstruation;
- violation of the period;
- an abnormal process in the ovarian region;
- fibrocystic mastopathy;
- adrenal inflammation;
- fibroids;
- difficulties in kidney structures;
- fibroid development.
Pinworms and opisthorchiasis often cause appendicitis, pancreatitis and biliary dyskinesia.
In practice, common symptoms are also distinguished:
- dysfunction of immune forces;
- allergic reactions;
- sudden change in body weight;
- an unexpected skin problem;
- chronic fatigue;
- dysbiosis;
- anemia;
- regular discomfort in the stomach or intestinal tract;
- constipation or persistent diarrhea;
- bad sleep;
- irritability and nervousness;
- vitamin deficiency.
Symptoms of parasites in the human body are often characterized by dysfunction of the digestive tract.
Constipation may be accompanied by diarrhea. Due to all this, such a period is long. A patient with diarrhea can go to the toilet at least three to four times a day.
After a meal, the patient is constantly hunted with swelling and flatulence. As a result of this phenomenon, a pathological process begins.
Symptoms of parasites in the human body in childhood are often accompanied by gnashing of teeth during night rest.
If a baby has pinworms or roundworms, itching often occurs in the anorectal region. It interferes with proper sleep, causes irritability, crying and lack of sleep.
In the absence of a treatment process, human parasites cause the development of oncological diseases. Helminths damage tissue structures and organs.
When an inflammatory process occurs, there is a lack of necessary components. Therefore, if there are parasites in the intestines, the symptoms should be recognized as soon as possible.
Types of microorganisms
There are many helminths in nature that can live in the body of an adult and a child. When they enter the human body, they become parasitic and help people to exist.
Experts identify the main types of parasites in the human body.
Pinworms
A parasitic infection that inhabits the esophagus. Most often, the pathology occurs in children under ten years of age. They live in the intestinal tract, but go out at night to rest and lay eggs on the skin folds.
This type of worm enters the body through dirty hands, poorly washed vegetables, sand. They have the ability to adhere to the intestinal wall using suction cups. An egg matures in six hours.
Parasitic infection is characterized by:
- development of severe itching;
- appearance of white spots in the stool;
- anorexia;
- irritation;
- bad sleep.
The disease associated with pinworms is called enterobiasis. Removal of helminthic substances from the body does not require much effort. It is enough to take anthelmintic drugs once and follow a diet.
The course of treatment should be repeated in two to three weeks. This will destroy the remaining, already mature ones.
Toxocars
This type of helminthic infection lives in pets. They grow up to thirty centimeters.
The release of toxocara eggs occurs during the emptying of the intestinal tract in animals. They enter the soil or sand where worms can live for a long time.
When worms enter the body, a person is considered the final owner. They do not go out, but are carried along the body through vascular tubes.
Ascaris
These worms are the most common and less dangerous than others. Roundworms live mainly in the intestinal cavity. However, in the absence of a therapeutic process, they can be located in the liver, cerebral cortex and visual organ.
Symptoms of ascariasis:
- allergic manifestations;
- digestive disorders;
- manifestation of bronchial asthma;
- appearance of convulsive condition in childhood;
- Increasing temperature readings.
Long-lived parasites in humans can cause pneumonia, bronchitis, tuberculosis, hemoptysis, rupture of blood vessels in the lungs, intestinal obstruction and purulent processes.
Giardia
Giardia colonies in the intestinal tract in children aged ten to twelve years. Rarely, it is characterized by any symptoms, as a result of which the disease becomes chronic.
Contact with contaminated hands, food and cats.In the absence of therapeutic measures, they migrate to the liver. As a result, serious diseases develop.
Wide Ribbon
A flat worm up to ten meters long. They are densely packed in the human body.
Infection occurs when consuming raw fish products.
Features:
- depletion of the body;
- anemia;
- regular abdominal pain;
- nausea;
- vomiting in the morning after sleep;
- constant fatigue;
- drowsiness.
Black worms can be seen in feces. It will look like small white segments.
Diagnostics
Helminthic agents are difficult to detect, especially immediately after infection.
A few years ago, the diagnosis of parasites included two methods for detecting worms: fecal analysis and duodenal intubation. They made it possible to see fragments of helminths, larvae and eggs. However, such methods have not always helped to detect infectious agents.
There are several modern diagnostic methods:
- fecal analysis at least three times;
- enzyme immunoassay;
- conducting serological diagnostics;
- ultrasound examination of internal organs;
- computed or magnetic resonance imaging;
- endobiopsy;
- PCR analysis.
If parasitic diseases are diagnosed, you need to cleanse your body. A parasitologist, infectious disease specialist or gastroenterologist will explain how to do this.
Check for helminth attacks at least once a year. This infection often appears in the summer, when fresh fruits, vegetables and berries are harvested.
Treatment
If parasites are observed in humans, treatment should be prescribed as soon as possible. In the absence of treatment, various parasitic diseases begin to develop.
Every day they cause more damage to internal organs. If people have already been cleaned and treated for helminth infections, it will not be difficult to get rid of them again.
Medications
The whole therapy depends on the form in which the worm enters the body. If you see signs of parasite invasion, you should consult a doctor. Often such problems are solved by an infectious disease specialist and a general practitioner.
Currently, pharmaceutical companies offer a wide range of approved drugs for use in children and adults.
If there is a parasite in the stomach, hepatoprotective and enzyme preparations should be taken to restore the body's function.
Cleansing from parasites always leads to disruption of the digestive tract and the manifestation of dysbiosis. It is worth using lacto and bifidobacteria to reduce anxiety at least a little.
Medications have a negative effect on the whole body. Therefore, some patients perform antiparasitic cleansing of the body using folk methods.
There are several effective ways.
