Helminthiasis, or helminth invasions caused by parasitic worms-spyral.To date, more than three hundred helminths are known.About two hundred parasites are capable of affecting the human body.
Parasites in the body: the main symptoms
Itching in the anal region is mainly evening and night.With enterobiosis - one of the most common helminthiasis - the parasite (female pin) comes out of the intestine to lay eggs, which ultimately causes unbearable itching in the anus.
- Solonation in sleep.
- Peeling of the skin of the fingers and toes (often in children).
- Increased appetite.
- Rash on the body and centuries.
- Severe athenical syndrome (lethargy, weakness, fatigue, irritability, nervousness, mood in children).
- Swelling.
- Diarrhea or constipation.
- Exhaustion of the body with normal appetite.
- The presence of several chronic diseases.
- Decompensated chronic diseases.
- Unknown fever with joint and muscle pain.
- Anemia, especially with B12 deficiency.
- Long dry cough - most often at night.
- The high level of eosinophils in the blood is hyperoosinophilia.
- Uncomfortable liver cysts.
The appearance of one or more of the above signs is the cause of contact with an infectious or parasitologist.
If the patient assures that he or she has noticed something like worms in the calla, it is still necessary to conduct appropriate studies to prove the presence of parasites in the body.It may only seem particularly impressive that helminths are present in the stool.Most often, people see fragments of the intestinal mucosa in bowel movements, which usually come out with stools.
Victory infection occurs through people who are their carriers - anthroponotic helminths or after contact with invaded animals - Zoone Helminthias.The main path to transmission of infection is fecal-oral, rarely pronounced (the parasite is introduced into the body through the skin) and transitors (through the insect-carriers of eggs or helminth larvae).
How is the treatment of parasitic infection?
If there is a suspicion that the parasites in the body have started, it is recommended to take appropriate tests and undergo examination.Helminthiasis is perfectly treated with cheap anthelmintic drugs produced in the form of tablets.They are not accepted for that long.A regular course of treatment lasting from three to five days is sufficient.Synthetic drugs whose safety and clinical effectiveness have been proven may be used.
Only the doctor is able to choose the right parasite medicine, as well as to prescribe the right regimen of its administration and dose.Suicide or "internet treatment" can have serious consequences.It should be remembered that some medicines have a teratogenic effect that is dangerous to the fetus, others require dose calculation, etc.In addition, in the process of studying the rules for taking drugs already registered, they can be adjusted, which is not always prescribed in the instructions.
The result of the disease is most often favorable.It all depends on the pathogen, the degree of invasion, the target body.However, this will be serious, especially if the central nervous system (central nervous system), eyes, heart (additional meat and tissue helminthiasis) are affected by parasites.
Do I need to take parasites for prevention?
As for the preventive administration of antiparasitic drugs, it is impossible to say with confidence that they should not be taken.However, everyone should not do it pointlessly in a row.After all, such drugs are by no means harmless as many believe.These are the same medicines that no doctor will simply advise drinking.
The acceptance of preventive drugs from parasites can be shown to people who live in undeveloped countries with poor economic and social structure, in countries where medicine is low or persons living in their home and have a large number of pets.
According to international recommendations, it is recommended to take antiparasitic parasite preparations such as prevention (after consultation with a veterinarian) - at least twice a year, as well as people living in wild southern territories with a high percentage of population infection and poorly developed medicine.
Are folk drugs effective against parasites?
Currently, there is no folk helminth remedy, which would be really effective and safe.Many such drugs (most often phytomedia) include components such as cloves, Tancy flowers, aspen bark extract, garlic, wormwood.In such small doses, they do not have the desired effect, but can cause perverted localization of helminths.In fact, under the influence of the weak Degulik, the parasites in the body are able to change their usual location of localization.In this way, helminths can penetrate the intestinal wall and enter the abdominal cavity.
In addition, the plants used in the treatment of helminthiasis are quite toxic at the required concentration and have many side effects than pharmaceuticals for parasites.Herbs such as wormwood and tan are unacceptable to use children up to twelve years, during pregnancy, with kidney disease, liver (toxic severe hepatitis), hearts.
The biological active supplements, which are recently often advertised in the media, are simply useless.Unlike pharmaceuticals, they do not have a must -have study, they have no basis of evidence and a clearly defined dose.
Anti -parasite programs and remedies such as "monastic teas" are speculation about a common problem and a trick for gullible people.Do not follow the obsessive advertising on the Internet and use your body as a tank for experimentation.
Remember that treatment and preventing helminthiasis should be under the control of a doctor.Suicide can lead to a chronic process and development of serious complications.
