Worms - parasites that live in the body (most often in the intestine) of humans and animals.You can get infected everywhere: doctors say people have approx.80% infected with Helmin.
In adults, medicines should be selected to treat worms effectively, taking into account the type of parasites in the body.Otherwise, treatment will not be effective and may damage the patient's health.
Where and how to infect worms?
The infection is taken everywhere: in nature, in a hospitality and even at home.Helminants are transmitted by unwashed hands, poorly washed vegetables and fruits, especially fruits in the ground.
Meat and fish that have undergone inadequate heat treatment can also cause infection.
Helminthosis extends to a healthy person from a sick person - by handshake or contact with saliva.More often, worms are found in children: they are infected with ordinary toys and unwashed hands.
If the family has a child with helminthiasis, then all adults must also prevent preventive so that the child does not become a source of infection after healing.
Can infect a pet.Therefore, antratravity of cats and dogs is regularly required - every three months.And wash your hands thoroughly after contacting homeless animals.
Symptoms indicating the presence of parasites
Signs of the presence of worms in the intestine are a sharp change in body weight (weight loss or weight gain due to metabolism disorders), digestive system disorders that can be easily disturbed by an acute or chronic gastrointestinal disease.The main signs that indicate that man has a Helmintes invasion:
- Stool disorder - diarrhea, constipation, liquid stool (when the intestine is empty twice daily but the chair is not decorated).
- Bloating, colic.
- Nausea.
- Vomit.
- Lack of appetite.
- Pain and cramps in the gut.
In the process of vital activity, worms distinguish toxins, which can differently affect people.In some, they cause frequent headaches, others - irritability or food disorder, third - rash, all kinds of allergies.
In any case, in the background of helminth invasions, the body's protective functions decrease and immunity is weakened.Such a person is more likely to suffer from colds.
Worms: What species parasitize in people?
Not all types of helmin are dangerous to humans: some parasites live only in veterinarianism.
About 70 types of helminta are parasitized in people that are divided into 3 main groups:
Round worms
It is a few centimeters long, the transverse part of the body is round.This is one of the most common Helmin types.The nematode group contains Pinworms and ascarides, which are most often diagnosed, especially in children.This includes Blazoles.They live primarily in the gut.
Tape
The length can reach 18 m, the average length is 1-5 m.The body is flat, with a suction paw on its head, which is attached to the intestinal mucosa.These are tapes and tapworms that are primarily rooted in the small intestine but can also settle in other organs.Their typical feature is that Helmin itself, not the larvae itself, falls into the human body: it matures in the body of an intermediate host.They are infected with animals and when used in meat and fish that did not have proper heat treatment.
Apartment
They have a wide and flat body, a few centimeters long, less frequently - one and a half meters.These are various distortions, bicomer, trematod.They can arrange the wires (bile, lacrimal channels and almost any organ).
How to determine the presence of helminthians?
The simplest method is to transfer stool analysis.But for the exact diagnostics, you need to make an analysis 3-4 times, as at a time when the parasites are not active, it is quite difficult to recognize their presence.
The antibodies are prepared for each type of blood.Blood tests determine the presence of these markers and determine the type of worms.But you need to do some tests - for every expected look.
Who handles Helminthias?
The main Helmin professionals are a parasitologist-infectious disease profession.However, a full -time parasitologist is outside of all clinics: these professionals usually work as regional clinics and research institutes.
Based on test results, an infectious disease can prescribe the treatment system.This will help you choose the best anti -mile and safe tools for a person who helps to quickly drive worms without the consequences of the body.
In this case, self -healing is quite dangerous: the tablets of worms are quite toxic and have many contraindications.If you choose the type of worms, the drug will be at least ineffective.If the dose is exceeded, anthelmintics can cause severe intoxication.
