At present, medicine has a large number of drugs to combat parasites, both specific and with a broad spectrum of action. How to understand the variety of remedies against helminths and choose the most suitable of them? It is obvious that the selection of such drugs requires an individual approach, taking into account the characteristics of the organism, the course of helminthiasis and concomitant diseases. Consultation of a doctor and basic information about drugs will help to make the right decision and buy the most acceptable remedies for parasites in the body.
Symptoms of parasitic invasion
Sometimes you can hear people and opinion like this: why eliminate parasites if they are used more and more in weight loss programs? But these shows are not scientifically based and, in most cases, are ordinary quackery.
In nature there is no organism that benefits from the parasitic activity of the worms inside. Sooner or later, this activity leads to the destruction of internal organs and the death of the organism itself, which feeds the parasite. Therefore, our natural aversion to any parasites in the human body fully reflects the true state of things: they are harmful and dangerous for us.
How does helminthiasis manifest? The specific symptoms depend on the type of parasites that have settled in the body, but there are also common symptoms characteristic of most helminthiases:
- Anemia: Most of the worms located in the intestine cause an alteration in the composition of the blood, in particular iron deficiency and other types of anemia.
- Stagnation in the bile ducts(cholestasis), constipation is also often the result of impaired peristalsis and obstruction of the bile ducts caused by parasitic invasion.
- CFS- a condition called chronic fatigue syndrome, accompanied by emotional instability, loss of concentration, memory impairment, jumps in body temperature and constant general weakness, can also be a sign forcleanse the body of parasites.
- Irritability, sleep disturbanceswith frequent nocturnal awakenings are caused by the body's attempts to rid itself of parasites and worms.
- Fluctuations in body weight(both up and down) can be explained by poor digestion, a drop in blood sugar, causing hunger and forcing a person totransfer and gain weight, or vice versa, to lose weight - due to the presence of an "internal consumer". This fact debunks the myth about the benefits that can supposedly be obtained from worms in humans.
- Skin problemscan be a consequence of the toxic activity of opisthorchus, fungi, lamblia, and other protozoan parasites. Most of the time they are expressed by urticaria, atopic dermatitis, eczema.
- Allergic reactionscauses indigestion, which leads to the activation of the body's immune response, an increase in the level of eosinophils in the blood.
- Epigastric discomfort and stool alteration(diarrhea) are usually clear signs of worms in the body.
- Joint and muscle paincan occur as a result of parasites migrating through the body in search of a more favorable environment for them.
One of the characteristic signs of helminthiasis in children is mental retardation and inhibition of the ability to speak.
If you notice several of these signs in yourself or your loved ones, you should see a doctor and get tested.
