The topic of removing parasites from the human body does not go away.
According to WHO statistics, about five billion people in the world are infected with parasites, most of them children.
The cause of mass infection with worms is an underestimation of the problem, poor education of the population, and a low standard of diagnosis and treatment of patients with worms.
Knowing the main ways of being infected with parasites, a person has a chance to protect his body and stay healthy.
Symptoms of human helminthic invasion
Different types of worms can inhabit the human body, so the symptoms of infection are always different.
Worms are cleverly disguised in internal organs and only manifest themselves as causing a problem:
- stool disorders;
- stagnation of bile;
- bloating;
- irritable bowel syndrome;
- joint and muscle pain;
- allergic reactions;
- the body's tendency to be obese;
- sleep disorders and nervousness;
- chronic fatigue syndrome;
- airway inflammation;
- Decreased body immunity;
- cancer.
Most often, such diseases do not heal for a long time and become chronic. Stool disorders in the form of constipation cause large worms.
During vital activity, worms block individual organs, and if no action is taken to improve the health of the body, over time, the mechanical lining of the intestinal lumen and bile ducts can occur.
As a result, gastrointestinal peristalsis deteriorates, leading to infrequent and difficult bowel movements.
Diarrhea is usually caused by the simplest parasites - their vital activity produces hormone-like substances that trigger frequent aqueous bowel movements.
Therefore, diarrhea should not be considered as a mere consequence of malnutrition: if diarrhea or constipation is associated with gas and bloating, this symptom may indicate an infection with helminthic invasion.
This condition usually lasts for many years before a person gets rid of worms from his body.
Worms affect not only the functioning of the digestive system, but the whole body.
Thus, with the pain of the joints and muscles, it is worth thinking about the presence of worms in the body.
By penetrating the human body, worms choose the most comfortable places for the rest of their lives.
Parasites can be located in the synovial fluid and muscles, causing a person to feel pain, which can be confused with the symptoms of arthritis.
It cannot be guessed that these worms will damage the tissues they have settled into, at least until they cause tangible damage to the body and the patient completes the necessary tests.
Worm slags are toxins that elicit an immune response, namely:
- growth of eosinophils (they play a role in the protective cells of the blood);
- increase in immunoglobulin E.
In the first case, inflammation of the tissues of the body occurs as a result of an allergic reaction. It increases the second point of allergy.
Worms can cause atopic dermatitis, rashes, eczema, and simple skin conditions.
If the inflammation on the skin does not go away for a long time, it makes sense for a person to check for the possibility of infection with worms such as lamblia and opisthorchias.
Medications for worms
Removing worms from the body in children and adults today is medically quite successful.
Once you have discovered the symptoms of helminthic invasion on your own or in your child, it is advisable to consult a doctor for an accurate and definitive diagnosis.
The specialist prescribes anthelmintic treatment and tells you how to remove the parasites from the body with their help.
And yet you need to understand that for a person poisoned with parasites to fully recover, they must undergo complex therapy.
Medicines used to treat worms are usually divided into medicines that can rid the body of a wide variety of parasites (cestodes, trematodes and nematodes) as well as medicines with a broad spectrum of action.
Anthelmintic therapy is most often performed at home, except for complex types of poisonings that require hospitalization.
Worms should be removed from the body of the child and adult independently, using the medication prescribed by the doctor, strictly following the system prescribed in the instructions.
Increasing or decreasing the number of tablets is not recommended. If parasites respond to a reduced dose of the drug by altering their habitat in the body, the risk of severe poisoning increases as the number of tablets from worms increases.
Anthelmintics differ in the principle of influence on the pathological organism. Some drugs block nerve impulses in the muscles of the parasites, causing paralysis, while others prevent the worms from eating glucose, which dies.
There are drugs whose ingredients disrupt intestinal worms, leading to the death of pathological organisms.
Certain groups of drugs can have a complex effect on parasites in the human body, affecting the motility of worms and the biochemical processes that take place in their cells.
If any anthelmintic can be prescribed to treat adults infected with worms, it is better to use other medications for the worms in children.
Anthelmintics are available in tablets and suspensions to treat children from the age of three.
Folk recipes for worms
The fact of being infected with worms is considered a disgrace to many, so not all people turn to a doctor for help, but begin to heal from parasites with folk remedies.
