The topic of removing parasites from the human body does not cease to be relevant.
According to WHO statistics, around five billion people around the world are infected with parasites, most of them children.
The reasons for massive worm infection are underestimation of the problem, poor education of the population, poor quality of diagnosis and treatment of patients against worms.
Knowing the main ways of infection with parasites, a person has a chance to protect his body and keep healthy.
Symptoms of helminthic invasion in humans
Different types of worms can inhabit the human body, so the symptoms of infection are always different.
Worms are skillfully disguised in internal organs, only manifesting themselves to cause problems in the form of:
- stool disorders;
- stagnation of bile;
- bloating; irritable bowel syndrome
- ;
- joint and muscle pain;
- allergic reactions;
- the disposition of the body to obesity;
- sleep disturbances and nervousness; chronic fatigue syndrome
- ;
- inflammation of the respiratory tract;
- decreased immunity of the body;
- cancer.
Most often these illnesses do not heal for a long time and become chronic. Stool disturbances in the form of constipation cause large worms.
In the process of vital activity, worms block individual organs and if no action is taken to improve the health of the body, mechanical closure of the intestinal lumen and bile ducts can occur over time.
As a result, the peristalsis of the digestive organ will deteriorate, resulting in infrequent and difficult stools.
The cause of diarrhea is, as a rule, the simplest parasites - due to their vital activity, hormone-like substances are produced that cause frequent watery stools.
Therefore, diarrhea should not be viewed only as a result of malnutrition: if the diarrhea or constipation is accompanied by gas and bloating, this symptom may indicate a helminthic infection.
Usually this condition lasts for many years, until the person gets rid of the worms from their body.
Worms not only affect the functioning of the digestive organs, but the whole body as a whole.
So, with pain in the joints and muscles, it makes sense to think about the presence of worms in the body.
Worms, which enter the human body, choose the most convenient places for future life.
Parasites can lodge in joint fluids and muscles, causing pain that may be mistaken for symptoms of arthritis.
It is impossible to guess that these worms injure the tissues in which they have settled, at least until tangible damage is done to the body and the patient does not pass the necessary tests.
Worm waste are toxins that trigger an immune response, namely:
- growth of eosinophils (act as protective cells in the blood);
- increased levels of immunoglobulin E.
In the first case, inflammation of the body tissues occurs, which is the result of an allergic reaction. Increases the second allergy point.
These are the worms that can cause atopic dermatitis, rashes, eczema and simple skin diseases.
If the inflammation of the skin does not go away for a long time, it makes sense for a person to check for the possibility of infection with worms such as lamblia and opisthorchia.
Medicines for worms
Removing worms from the body in children and adults is now medically successful.
Having discovered symptoms of helminthic invasion at home or in a child, it is recommended to consult a doctor for a precise and definitive diagnosis.
The specialist will prescribe anthelmintic therapy and tell you how to remove parasites from the body with their help.
And yet you need to understand that for the full recovery of a person poisoned by parasites, it is necessary to undergo complex therapy.
Medicines for worms are generally divided into medicines capable of ridding the body of several types of parasites (cestodes, trematodes and nematodes) and medicines with a broad spectrum of action.
Anthelmintic treatment is most often carried out at home, with the exception of complicated types of poisoning that require hospitalization of the patient.
It is necessary to remove worms from the body of a child and an adult independently, using a drug prescribed by a doctor, strictly following the scheme prescribed in the instructions.
It is not recommended to increase or decrease the number of tablets. If the parasites react to a reduced dose of the drug by changing the habitat in the body, then with an increase in the number of tablets from worms, a person is threatened with severe poisoning.
Drugs for worms differ from each other in the principle of influence on a pathological organism. Some drugs block nerve impulses into the muscles of the parasites, causing them to paralyze, while others do not allow the worms to feed on glucose, causing them to die.
There are drugs, the constituents of which disrupt the work of the intestines of worms, which leads to the death of pathological organisms.
A certain group of drugs can have a complex effect on the parasites living in the human body, which affects the ability of worms to move and the biochemical processes occurring in their cells.
If an anthelmintic agent can be prescribed for the treatment of an adult infected with worms, it is better to use other worm medicines in children.
Medicines for worms are produced in the form of tablets and suspensions, with their help you can treat children from three years old.
