Every day more and more diverse bacterial, viral and parasitic agents settle in people. 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 with other diseases.
Parasites usually appear in the human body. What types are they divided into and what harm do they do to the body? How to know if there are parasites in the body? What drives them out and what is the most effective treatment?
Symptoms of a helminth infection
Parasites in the human body quickly get used to the new environment. Such flora is favorable for them, since the nutrients enter the body. Most often, the worms infect the intestinal canal. But with a large number of them, along with blood, helminths begin to migrate throughout the body, affecting not only neighboring organs, but also the visual organ, the membranes of the brain and genitalia.
The appearance of spots on the skin, peeling or redness, the appearance of early wrinkles and acne in the facial area should alert anyone. Such symptoms indicate the presence of a helminthic infection of the body.
Any type of worm negatively affects the functionality of the immune forces, resulting in a sore throat, inflammation of the sinuses, snoring, polyps, and sinusitis.
In men, the signs of the presence of parasites in the body are manifested in the form of cystitis, prostatitis, the appearance of sand and stones in the kidneys and bladder, adenoma and impotence.
Infection with some types of helminths can cause brain damage.
Symptoms of parasites in women's bodies can hide in:
- severe pain during menstruation;
- cycle violation;
- an abnormal process in the area of the ovaries;
- fibrocystic mastopathy;
- adrenal inflammation;
- fibroids;
- difficulties with kidney structures;
- development of fibroids.
Pinworms and opisthorchiasis often cause appendicitis, pancreatitis, and dyskinesia of the bile ducts.
In practice, the general symptoms are also distinguished:
- impaired functionality of immune forces;
- allergic reactions;
- a sudden change in body weight;
- an unexpected skin problem;
- chronic fatigue;
- dysbiosis;
- anemia;
- feeling of regular discomfort within the stomach or intestinal canal;
- persistent constipation or diarrhea;
- bad dream;
- irritation and nervousness;
- vitamin deficiency.
Very often, the signs of parasites in the human body are characterized by poor functioning of the digestive tract.
Constipation can be followed by diarrhea. For all this, such a process is long-term. A patient with diarrhea can go to the bathroom at least three or four times a day.
After eating, the patient is constantly tormented by bloating and gas formation. As a result of this phenomenon, a pathological process begins.
Signs of parasites in the human body during childhood are often accompanied by grinding of teeth during nighttime rest.
If a baby has pinworms or roundworms, itching often occurs in the anorectal region. This interferes with adequate sleep and leads to irritation, crying, and poor sleep.
In the absence of a treatment process, human parasites lead to the development of oncological diseases. Helminths damage tissue structures and organs.
When an inflammatory process occurs, the necessary components are missing. Therefore, if there are parasites in the intestines, the symptoms must be recognized as soon as possible.
Types of microorganisms
In nature, there are a large number of helminths that can live in the body of an adult and a child. When they enter the human body, they parasitize and the people themselves contribute to their existence.
Experts identify the main types of parasites in the human body.
Roundworms
A parasitic infection that takes up residence in the digestive tract. Most often, the pathology occurs in children under the age of ten. They live in the intestinal canal, but during the night rest they go outside and lay eggs in the folds of the skin.
This type of worm enters the body through dirty hands, poorly washed vegetables, sand. They have the ability to adhere to the intestinal walls using suction cups. An egg matures in six hours.
Parasitic infection is characterized by:
- development of intense itching;
- the appearance of white spots in the stool;
- loss of appetite;
- irritation;
- bad dream.
The disease in contact with pinworms is called enterobiasis. Removing helminthic agents from the body does not require much effort. It is enough to take anthelmintic drugs once and follow a diet.
The treatment cycle should be repeated in two to three weeks. This will allow to destroy the rest, already mature individuals.
Toxocars
This type of helminth infection lives in the body of domestic animals. They grow up to a foot long.
The release of toxocara eggs occurs during the emptying of the intestinal canal in animals. They enter the soil or sand, where the worms can live in a dormant state for a long period.
When helminths enter the body, one person is considered the ultimate owner. They do not go out, but at the same time they are transported throughout the body through the vascular tubules.
Ascaris
These worms are considered the most common, but less dangerous than the rest. Roundworms live mainly in the intestinal cavity. But in the absence of a therapeutic process, they can settle in the liver, meninges and the visual organ.
Symptoms of Ascariasis:
- allergic manifestations;
- malfunction of the digestive organs;
- manifestation of bronchial asthma;
- the appearance of a convulsive state in childhood;
- temperature rise indicators.
Parasites that live in a person for a long period of time can cause pneumonia, bronchitis, tuberculosis, hemoptysis, rupture of blood vessels in the lungs, intestinal obstruction, and purulent processes.
Giardia
Giardia colonies in the intestinal canal 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 ribbon
A flat type of worm that can be up to ten meters long. In the human body, they are found in crowded form.
Infection occurs by consuming raw fish products.
Functions:
- exhaustion of the body;
- anemia;
- regular abdominal pain;
- nausea;
- vomiting in the morning after sleeping;
- constant fatigue;
- drowsiness.
Tapeworm can be seen in feces. It will appear as small white segments.
Diagnosis
Helminthic agents are difficult to detect, especially immediately after infection.
A few years ago, parasite diagnostics included two methods of detecting worms: stool testing and duodenal intubation. They made it possible to see fragments, larvae and helminth eggs. But such techniques did not always help detect infectious agents.
There are several modern diagnostic methods:
- stool analysis at least three times;
- perform an enzyme immunoassay;
- perform serological diagnostics;
- ultrasound examination of internal organs;
- computerized or magnetic resonance imaging;
- endobiopsy;
- PCR analysis.
If parasitic diseases are diagnosed, it is necessary to cleanse the body. A parasitologist, infectious disease specialist, or gastroenterologist will show you how.
Check for helminth infestation at least once a year. Often this infection appears 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 cleaned and treated for helminth infections, then it will not be difficult to remove them again.
Medications
All therapy depends on the form of worm that has entered the body. If you see signs of parasite infestation, you should go to the doctor. Most often, these problems are treated by an infectious disease specialist and a general practitioner.
Currently, pharmaceutical companies offer a wide range of drugs approved for use in children and adults.
If there are parasites in the stomach, hepatoprotective and enzyme preparations should be taken to restore the functioning of the organ.
Cleansing the parasites always leads to the disruption of the digestive canal and the manifestation of dysbiosis. To at least slightly reduce discomfort, it is worth using lactobacteria and bifidobacteria.
Medications adversely affect the entire body. Therefore, some patients perform antiparasitic cleansing of the body using folk methods.
There are several effective ways.
Wormwood application
Cleansing the colon of parasites often involves the use of wormwood. Various infusions, decoctions, drops are prepared from the herb for ingestion. The active components of the plant are instantly absorbed and have an immunostimulating effect.
This parasite body cleanse allows you to get rid of roundworms, pinworms, tapeworms, cocci, lamblia, and amoebas.
It is necessary to clean with absinthe at home thirty minutes before meals in the morning and at night. The course of therapy: from fourteen to twenty days.
Garlic applications
This product is considered unique. Garlic has several properties at once: antibacterial, antiseptic, anthelmintic, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory. What happens is that phytoncides and essential oils, which worms do not like, are the active components.
How to get rid of parasites in the human body with garlic?
First method
Cleaning of parasites should be done with enemas. To make the solution, you need to take a cup of acidified milk and heat it to a temperature of forty degrees. Next, peel the garlic and grate it with a fine grater. Add to milk and mix well. Let it sit for about ten to fifteen minutes.
Collect the prepared solution into a syringe and carefully insert it into the intestinal canal. Hold for thirty minutes and then empty.
The treatment should last approximately three to five days. These manipulations must be done at the same time.
Second method
How to clean the body of parasites? Garlic horseradish tincture is considered an excellent fighting method. To make it, 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.
Let the liquid sit for ten days. Take three times a day. At the same time, you need to take a tablespoon of the drink. The antiparasitic cleaning should last at least seven days.
Refresh application
The soda solution is considered an effective but safe treatment. At the same time, it quickly gets rid of worms.
There is a proven remedy in folk medicine. It consists of the use of an enema. To prepare the solution, take three cups of hot water and two tablespoons of soda. The components are completely mixed. And then, with the help of a syringe, they are introduced into the rectum.
This treatment can cleanse the upper digestive system. To cleanse the body, you need to drink a cup of warm water on an empty stomach. After that, two hundred milliliters of soda are taken in small sips.
You can still live with parasites in your body. But every day they will turn human life into uncomfortable sensations.
Someone struggles with cleansing enemas, others take medication, but it is imperative to be treated and cleansed no matter how. Either method will be effective on an individual basis.
