Helminthiasis, or helminthic invasions-diseases caused by parasitic worms-helminths.To date, more than three hundred species of helminthiasis are known.About two hundred varieties of parasites are capable of affecting the human body.
Parasites in the body: the main symptoms
Itching in the anal region is mainly in the evening and night.With enterobiosis - one of the most common helminthiasis - parasitus (female pin) comes out of the intestines outward for laying eggs, which ultimately causes unbearable itching in the anus area.
- Solonotage in a dream.
- Peeling of the skin on the fingers of the arms and legs (often in children).
- Increased appetite.
- Rashes on the body and centuries.
- Severe asthenic syndrome (lethargy, weakness, fatigue, irritability, nervousness, moodiness in children).
- Bloating.
- Diarrhea or constipation.
- Depletion of the body with normal appetite.
- The presence of several chronic diseases.
- Decompensated chronic diseases.
- Unknown fever with joint pain and muscles.
- Anemia, especially B12-deficiency.
- Long dry cough - most often at night.
- The high level of blood eosinophils is Hyperaosinophilia.
- Unsual cysts in the liver.
The appearance of one or more of the above signs is the reason for contacting Infectiologist or Parasitologist.
If the patient assures that he noticed something similar to worms in Kala, it is nevertheless necessary to conduct appropriate studies to prove the presence of parasites in the body.It may only seem especially impressionable that helminths are present in the feces.Most often, people see fragments of the intestinal mucosa in bowel movements, which normally come out with feces.
Winness infection occurs through people who are their carriers - anthroponotic helminthias or after contact with invasated animals - zoone helminthiases.The main path of transmission of infection is fecal-oral, less often-percutaneous (the parasite is introduced into the body through the skin) and Transitoriæ (through the bites of insects-carriers of eggs or helminth larvae).
How is the treatment of a parasitic infection?
If there is a suspicion that parasites in the body have started, it is recommended to take the appropriate tests and undergo examination.Helminthiasis is perfectly treated with inexpensive anthelmintic drugs produced in the form of tablets.They are not accepted so long.Sometimes a regular course of treatment lasting three to five days is enough.Synthetic drugs can be used, the safety and clinical efficiency of which are proven.
Only the doctor is capable of choosing the right drug for parasites, as well as prescribing the correct scheme of its administration and dosage.Self -medication or “Internet treatment” can lead to serious consequences.It should be remembered that some medications have a teratogenic effect that is dangerous for the fetus, others require calculation of dosage, etc. In addition, in the process of studying the rules for taking already registered drugs, they can be adjusted, which is not always prescribed in the instructions.
The outcome of the disease is most often favorable.It all depends on the pathogen, the degree of invasion, the target body.However, it will be serious, especially if the central nervous system (central nervous system), eyes, heart (extra -mesy and tissue helminthiasis) are affected by parasites.
Do I need to take drugs for 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 must not do it thoughtlessly in a row.After all, such drugs are by no means as harmless as many believe.These are the same medicines, which no doctor will just advise drinking.
Taking preventive drugs from parasites can be shown to people who live in undeveloped states with a poor economic and social structure, in countries where medicine is at a low level, or to persons living in their home and having a large number of pets.
According to international recommendations, it is recommended to take antiparasitic preparations for parasites as a prevention (after a preliminary 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 remedies effective against parasites?
Currently, there is not a single folk remedy for combating helminths that would be really effective and safe.Many such drugs (most often Phytoremedy) include components such as cloves, tansy flowers, aspen bark extract, garlic, wormwood.In such small doses, they do not have the desired effect, but they can cause a perverted localization of helminths.Indeed, under the influence of weak Degelmentikov, parasites in the body are able to change their usual place of localization.Thus, helminths can penetrate the intestinal wall and go into the abdominal cavity.
In addition, plants that are used in the treatment of helminthiasis are quite toxic in the required concentration and have many side effects than pharmaceuticals for parasites.Herbs such as wormwood and tans are unacceptable to use children up to twelve years old, during pregnancy, with kidney diseases, liver (toxically severe hepatitis), hearts.
Biological active additives, which have recently been often advertised in the media, are simply useless.Unlike pharmaceuticals, they do not undergo a mandatory study, do not have an evidence base and a clearly defined dosage.
Antiparasitic programs and means like “monastic teas” are speculation on 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 experiments.
Do not forget that treatment and prevention of helminthiasis should be under the control of a doctor.Self -medication can lead to chronic process and the development of serious complications.
