Every day, more and more different bacterial, viral and parasitic agents settle in humans. The human body is considered an attractive space for the viability of various microorganisms.
Once in the body, microbes lead to the development of various diseases. Most of them are latent, while others have similar symptoms 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 I know if there are parasites in the body? What pushes them out and what is the most effective treatment?
Symptoms of helminth 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 huge number of them, along with the blood, helminths begin to migrate throughout the body, affecting not only neighboring organs but also the visual organ, the membranes of the brain and genitals.
The appearance of spots on the skin, peeling or redness, the appearance of early wrinkles and acne in the face should alert everyone. Such symptoms indicate the presence of a helminthic infection in the body.
Each type of worm adversely affects the functionality of the immune system, leading to sore throat, sinusitis, snoring, polyps and sinusitis.
In men, the signs of parasites in the body manifest themselves in the form of cystitis, prostatitis, the appearance of sand and stones in the kidneys and bladder, adenoma and impotence.
Infection with certain types of helminths can lead to brain damage.
The symptoms of parasites in the body in women can be hidden in:
- severe pain during menstruation;
- cycle violation;
- abnormal process in the ovarian area;
- fibrocystic mastopathy;
- inflammation of the adrenal gland;
- fibroids;
- difficulties with kidney structures;
- development of fibroids.
Pinworms and opisthorchiasis often lead to appendicitis, pancreatitis and biliary dyskinesia.
In practice, the general symptoms also differ:
- deterioration of the functionality of the immune system;
- allergic reactions;
- abrupt change in body weight;
- unexpected every problem;
- chronic fatigue;
- dysbiosis;
- anemia;
- regular discomfort in the stomach or intestinal tract;
- constipation or persistent diarrhea;
- bad sleep;
- irritation and nervousness;
- vitamin deficiency.
Most often the signs of parasites in the human body are characterized by dysfunction of the digestive tract.
Constipation may be followed by diarrhea. To all this, such a process is long-term. A patient with diarrhea can visit the toilet at least three to four times a day.
After eating, the patient is constantly haunted by bloating and flatulence. As a result, a pathological process begins.
Signs of parasites in the human body in childhood are often accompanied by gnashing of teeth during night rest.
If the baby has pinworms or roundworms, itching in the anorectal area often occurs. This interferes with proper sleep, leading to irritation, crying and lack of sleep.
In the absence of a treatment process, human parasites lead to the development of cancer. 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 recognized as soon as possible.
Types of microorganisms
There are a large number of helminths in nature that can live in the body of an adult and a child. When they enter the human body, they parasitize, and humans themselves contribute to their existence.
Experts identify the main types of parasites in the human body.
Blades
A parasitic infection that settles in the digestive tract. The pathology most often occurs in children under the age of ten. They live in the intestinal tract, but during a night's rest they go out and lay eggs in the skin folds.
This type of worm enters the body through dirty hands, poorly washed vegetables, sand. They have the ability to attach to the intestinal walls with the help of suction cups. One egg matures within six hours.
The parasitic infection is characterized by:
- development of severe itching;
- the appearance of white spots on the stool;
- loss of appetite;
- irritation;
- bad sleep.
The disease in contact with pinworms is called enterobiosis. Removing helminthic agents from the body does not require much effort. It is enough to take anthelmintic drugs once and follow a diet.
The course of treatment will need to be repeated after two to three weeks. This will eliminate the remaining, already mature individuals.
Toxocari
This type of helminth infection lives in the body of pets. They grow to a length of thirty centimeters.
The release of toxocara eggs occurs during the emptying of the intestinal tract in animals. They fall into the soil or 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 out, but at the same time are transmitted to the body through the vascular canals.
Ascaris
These worms are considered the most common, but less dangerous than others. Roundworms live mainly in the intestinal cavity. But in the absence of a treatment process, they can be found in the liver, meninges and visual organs.
Symptoms of ascariasis:
- allergic manifestations;
- digestive disorders;
- manifestation of bronchial asthma;
- the appearance of a convulsive state in childhood;
- increase in temperature.
Parasites living in humans 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
Lamblia colonies in the intestinal tract in children under ten to twelve years of age. They are rarely characterized by any symptoms, as a result of which the disease becomes chronic.
Contaminated by contaminated hands, food and contact with cats.In the absence of therapeutic measures, they migrate to the liver. As a result, serious diseases develop.
Wide bar
A flat type of worm that can be up to ten meters long. In the human body they are in a crowded form.
Infection occurs when eating raw fish products.
Features:
- exhaustion of the body;
- anemia;
- regular abdominal pain;
- nausea;
- vomiting in the morning after sleep;
- constant fatigue;
- drowsiness.
Tapeworm can be seen in the stool. It will appear as 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: stool analysis and duodenal intubation. They made it possible to see fragments, larvae and eggs of helminths. But such techniques do not always help to detect infectious agents.
There are several modern diagnostic methods:
- stool analysis at least three times; performing an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay;
- performing serological diagnostics;
- ultrasound examination of internal organs;
- computer or magnetic resonance imaging;
- endobiopsy;
- PCR analysis.
If parasitic diseases are diagnosed, then you need to cleanse the body. A parasitologist, infectious disease specialist or gastroenterologist will tell you how to do this.
Check for helminth infections at least once a year. This infection often occurs in the summer when fresh fruits, vegetables and berries are harvested.
Treatment
If parasites are observed in humans, treatment should be determined as soon as possible. In the absence of treatment, various parasitic diseases begin to develop.
Every day they cause more and more damage to internal organs. If people have already been cleansed and treated for helminth infections, it will not be difficult to remove them again.
Medicines
The whole therapy depends on which form of worm has entered the body. If you notice signs of parasite infestation, you should see a doctor. Most often such problems are solved by an infectious disease specialist and a general practitioner.
Pharmaceutical companies currently offer a wide range of drugs that are approved for use in children and adults.
If there are parasites in the stomach, hepatoprotective and enzyme preparations should be taken to restore organ function.
Cleaning from parasites always leads to disruption of the digestive tract and the manifestation of dysbiosis. To reduce at least a little discomfort, it is worth using lacto- and bifidobacteria.
Medications have an adverse effect on the whole body. Therefore, some patients perform antiparasitic cleansing of the body using folk methods.
There are several effective ways.
Apply wormwood
Cleaning the intestines of parasites often involves the use of wormwood. Various infusions, decoctions, drops for ingestion are prepared from the herb. The active components of the plant are absorbed immediately and have an immunostimulatory effect.
This cleansing of the body from parasites allows you to get rid of roundworms, pinworms, tapeworms, cocci, giardia and amoebae.
It is necessary to clean with wormwood at home thirty minutes before eating in the morning and evening. The course of therapy: fourteen to twenty days.
Garlic Applications
This product is considered unique. Garlic has several properties simultaneously: antibacterial, antiseptic, anthelmintic, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory. The thing is that phytoncides and essential oils, which worms do not like, are the active ingredients.
How to get rid of parasites in the human body with garlic?
First method
Cleaning from parasites should be done with enemas. To make the solution, you need to take a glass of sour milk and heat it to a temperature of forty degrees. Then peel the garlic and grate it on a fine grater. Add to the milk and mix well. Boil for about ten to fifteen minutes.
Put the reconstituted solution in a syringe and carefully place it in the intestinal tract. Hold for thirty minutes and then empty.
Treatment should take approximately three to five days. These manipulations must be performed simultaneously.
Second method
How to cleanse the body of parasites? Garlic and horseradish tincture is considered an excellent method of control. To do this, you need to take horseradish and three or four cloves of garlic. Grate everything on a fine grater and pour a liter of boiled water.
Allow the liquid to simmer for ten days. Take three times a day. You should take one tablespoon of the drink at a time. Antiparasitic cleaning must last at least seven days.
Soda app
Soda solution is considered an effective but safe treatment. However, it quickly gets rid of worms.
There is a proven remedy in folk medicine. It consists in the use of an enema. To prepare the solution, take three glasses of hot water and two tablespoons of baking soda. The components mix well. And then with the help of a syringe they are introduced into the rectum.
This treatment can cleanse the upper digestive tract. To cleanse the body, you need to drink a glass of warm water on an empty stomach. Then drink two hundred milliliters of soda in small sips.
You can continue to live with parasites in your body. But every day they will turn human life into uncomfortable sensations.
Some people struggle with cleansing enemas, others take medication, but it is necessary to treat and cleanse, no matter how. Each method will be effective on an individual basis.
