When detecting helminths in the human body, there is no need to ignore the symptoms of their presence and certainly do not delay their treatment. It all depends on the type of parasite that is invading the body. That is why test delivery for the presence of worms and treatment selection is more important.
Parasites in the human body: causes
Parasites appear in the human body for a variety of reasons.
They can enter the body in the following ways:
- Digest (through the digestive tract). The most common conditions are: eating contaminated water or food;
- Contact and household (through household items). In practice, this means infection from another person or pet carrying a worm;
- Contagion. Is the entry of helminths through blood -sucking insects;
- Percutaneous. This means that the parasite enters the body through the mucous membranes or skin;
- Also, parasites can enter the body along with dust.
Fish is a valuable food product that is recommended to everyone. However, along with its benefits, it can also be harmful, serving as a carrier of parasitic diseases. Therefore, you need to be aware of the types of parasites that live in fish can harm a person.
In fact, the most common parasite among those living in fish organisms is simply worms. Risk groups for worms include fish such as bream, rudd and silver bream, but it is important to understand that all fish can be infected with worms. Boil the fish until clean to prevent infection. If this is not done, the chances of infection remain high. The most dangerous thing is to eat raw fish.
The most popular worms in fish are:
- Schistocefamos. Often they live in smelt, in some places they are found in trout, salmon and pink salmon. The worms are destroyed with careful heat treatment;
- Coincidentally Chinese. It is found in Amur chebachka, crucian carp, carp and yaz. If it enters the human body, it can provoke opisthorchiasis and clonorchiasis;
- Wide ribbon. Often it lives on pike, ruff, burbot and salmonid organisms;
- Helminths, provoking nanophytosis in humans, live in chum salmon, whitefish, grayling and other fish species;
- Tapeworms that act as causative agents of ligulosis. Carp (bream, silver bream, roach, rudd) are susceptible to this disease. It is important to note that if you remove all the worms from the fish, the meat is edible - it will be completely safe;
- Worms of the trematode family. Exciting metagonimiasis. They live in rudd and gudgeon.
We emphasize that any fish is completely safe for humans if cooked properly. After high-quality and thorough heat treatment, the fish can be safely eaten by both adults and children. Another way to disinfect fish is to freeze it for a long time.
A product that, if not superior to fish, is on par with its popularity, of course, is meat. It is popular not only among people, but also among worms.
The following types of helminths live in flesh:
- Nematode. Available in pork or chicken. Provokes gnatostomosis;
- Cow tapeworm. Available in uncooked beef. Exciting teniarinhoses;
- Pig tapeworms. Can live in uncooked pork. Provocation of teniasis;
- Nematod toxocara. Caught in a chicken liver. Excited toxicariasis;
- Nematode. They live in uncooked pork. Causes trichinosis.
Parasites in the human body: symptoms
There are 14 main symptoms of the presence of helminths in the human body:
- Chronic fatigue.Includes a number of signs, such as: poor memory; indifference; pressure; low concentration; flu -like symptoms. This problem arises both with a lack of nutrition and with an ideal diet due to the difficult absorption of vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates, as well as proteins and fats. For this reason, the permanent poisoning of the body with parasites is greatly increased;
- Pain syndrome in muscles and joints.Worms have the ability to migrate. Their relocation is accompanied by pain, which is often thought of as a consequence of painful arthritis. Also, abnormal inflammatory processes in the joints can be the result of the body’s protective reaction to the presence of helminths in them, as well as the result of tissue damage by worms;
- Weight problems.Worms can provoke weight gain and weight loss. Deviations in both directions will be quite significant. Low weight is caused by loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and digestive disorders. Obesity arises as a result of helminthic invasion. Feeling hungry gives rise to a lack of nutrients in an acceptable "empty calorie" state, and is also due to toxic effects on metabolism;
- Irritable stomach syndrome.Parasites that live in the body can provoke inflammatory processes in the intestinal membranes, leading to a large number of negative manifestations, as well as a decline in nutrient absorption. Fat, instead of being absorbed in the small intestine, enters the large intestine, causing problems such as cramps, diarrhea and constipation. Excess fat can be found in fecal analysis;
- Diarrhea.The network of helminths forms things similar to prostaglandins. They are the ones who provoke frequent watery stools. It is important to understand that diarrhea qualifies not only as a reaction of the body, but also as a sign of the presence of worms;
- Constipation.Certain helminths can inhibit the work of certain organs. For example, they can block the bile ducts (cause jaundice and liver problems) or the intestines (cause constipation);
- Irritation, permanently bad mood.Toxic substances and residues of vital activity of worms have a negative effect on the central nervous system. The result: constant depression, anxiety and joy. Practice knows many cases when the removal of parasites brings about a significant change in a person’s character and makes him calmer;
- The inflammatory process of the respiratory tract.The various parasites "move" throughout the human body, including the respiratory system. Symptoms of airway worms include runny nose, cough, sputum production, and fever. In practice, there is even sinusitis provoked by awake migratory helminths. One of the expressions of kuatyloidosis and ascariasis is pneumonia;
- Formation of bloating and gas.Triggered by inflammatory processes in the small intestine. If the worms are not removed in a timely manner, bloating and gas formation can manifest themselves to varying degrees over several months, and possibly even years;
- Sleep problems, teeth grind during sleep.The origin of bruxism remains a mystery today. One version is the body's reaction to poisoning, as well as the excitation of the nervous system by parasites;
- Allergic reactions.Coincidentally worms enter the intestinal wall, which is why large molecules of unprocessed food end up in the blood. The body responds to this by increasing the production of blood cells (eosinophils), which in turn cause allergies. The worms themselves are also allergens;
- Oncological diseases.Helminths that live in the body contribute to systemic poisoning, nutritional deficiencies and problems with the immune system. They can also trigger a long inflammatory process. Because of all this, oncological tumors are formed;
- Serious skin problems.Helminths can provoke the appearance of urticaria, rashes, eczema, boils, acne, papillomas and other skin diseases;
- Failure of the protective system.Worms weaken the immune system, reduce the production of protective immunoglobulins and provoke allergies. As a result of their activity, conditions are created for various infections, and the intestines turn into homes for dysbiosis. Chronic colds and allergies are possible consequences of helminths entering the human body.
These are not all signs - there are many others, but they are very diverse and arise depending on the type of individual, the duration of the infection and the degree of organ damage. Symptoms can be very severe (e. g. , migraines, heart attacks, asthma, and urinary tract inflammation).
Parasites in the human body: diagnosis
The human body can simultaneously accommodate up to several dozen worms. For this reason, therapy should begin with a diagnosis of the disease. Modern medicine uses a number of methods to diagnose organisms for the presence of various helminths in them.
Often, feces are analyzed. However, there are other methods, such as:
- Immunology - determination of the amount of antigens and antibodies against parasites by blood tests;
- Histological coprogram - a detailed examination of the body of the worm, its larvae and eggs through a high -precision microscope. Allows you to know the most effective drug complexes for therapy;
- Blood scan. Blood tests by increasing one decrease by 2, 000 times. This method allows you to detect the presence of fungi, bacteria and other parasites;
- Electroacupuncture. This method is implemented using a special device. It is less known and unpopular because it can harm the body significantly. Even so, it allows you to identify the presence of worms in the body and choose the most effective method of therapy.
Parasites in the human body: drug treatment
You can get rid of parasites using two groups of drugs:
- chemotherapy drugs obtained by synthetic means;
- preparations derived from plant material.
The most appropriate medication to get rid of parasites from the body will be recommended by a specialist, based on the results of the examination.
Parasites in the human body: treatment with folk remedies
