Helminths can live in the human body for years and practically do not show up.
Insomnia, loss of appetite, periodic digestive disorders are associated with absolutely other diseases.The only way that allows them to detect these laboratory tests and a complete medical examination.
How to check for parasites?
In the process of existence, the parasites destroy the intestinal microflora, secrete life and toxins.These factors cause a number of unpleasant symptoms.

- PCR (polymerase chain reaction) diagnosis.It is possible to learn with high accuracy about the presence of viruses, bacteria, protozoa, helminths.
- Microscopic and microbiological studies.
They can be transmitted both at the clinic at the place of residence and in the private laboratory.

If the results do not allow a complete clinical picture to be made, the doctor directs the patient to additional examinations:
- Radiography;
- Ultrasound diagnostics;
- Computed tomography.
Conducting these examinations will notice changes in the structure of the organs, such as compaction and increase.Ultrasound - Discover cysts that appear with echinococcosis.X -ray - Calfers in the shoulder girdle, lungs, liver, which are formed in the presence of pork tapeworm.It is recommended to undergo examination twice a year, exceptions are obvious symptoms of invasion when an immediate diagnosis is required.

- CollapseSThe stools are examined under a microscope to detect particles or helminth eggs.Allows you to install ascaridosis, trichocephalosis, enterobiosis, ankylostomosis.Reliability is about 35%as the worms do not lay eggs all the time.
- General blood test.The released helminths toxins affect the mucous membrane of the intestine and internal organs.The changes occurring immediately affect the blood composition.Immunity begins to develop immunoglobulin, which is found during the study.
