The world is structured in such a way that parasites penetrate the human body and feed on its stores of nutrients.Many people who carefully monitor their health, lead an active life, try to eat a balanced diet, cannot achieve the desired result;the reason may be helminths, which take away all useful substances from the host, leaving a small part.
This lifestyle of these pests is very convenient for them;moreover, their presence can go unnoticed for a long time.This happens because the symptoms of a worm infection are very similar to the symptoms of other diseases;an infected person can be treated for a long time for other diseases and not observe positive dynamics.
Symptoms
Oddly enough, parasites do not have a digestive system, however, they feed exclusively on useful substances that are present in the host's body.Thanks to the useful substances, their life expectancy increases significantly, but the human condition worsens significantly.
Symptoms of infection may be absent or may resemble symptoms of other diseases.For example:
- the hookworm larva located in the lung has symptoms similar to pneumonia;
- pinworm larvae cause symptoms of appendicitis;
- Opisthorchis larvae can resemble an attack of pancreatitis.
Often the infection is accompanied by a cold: sore throat, sinusitis, bronchitis or other similar diseases.Suspicions may begin with the following changes:
- A sudden change in the functioning of the digestive system (diarrhea, flatulence, constipation);
- Joint and muscle pains appear;
- An allergic reaction occurred on the skin;
- Anemia develops (most worms feed on blood, which leads to iron deficiency);
- Sudden weight gain or loss;
- Change in mental status:depression, panic attacks, high irritability, sleep disturbance (helminths, while in the human body, release toxins dangerous to the human body).
- Nocturnal grinding of teeth;
- Decreased immunity, frequent viral and infectious diseases are observed;
- Inflammation of the respiratory system;
- Oncology (the prolonged presence of worms contributes to the degeneration of cells into cancer).
It should be understood that the presented symptoms do not indicate the presence of parasites, but only an assumption of their presence.Only a doctor can make an accurate diagnosis after a complete diagnosis.The full range of possible symptoms is not presented;in addition to the above, disorders in the functioning of the liver, kidneys and cardiovascular system appear.Violations develop into more serious problems requiring the intervention of a specialist.
