The World Health Organization has shown that 95% of the human population lives with various parasites. These parasites can live in any organ, even in the ears and eyes, and can cause many serious diseases that can lead to death. Therefore, it is very important to know what symptoms of parasites can occur in the human body and what drugs help to get rid of them.
Infection of the human body with parasites has characteristic symptoms.
Parasites are dangerous to humans
Many species of helminths can exist for a long time and actively multiply in the human body without showing themselves in any way. Therefore, people do not even know that they have been infected with worms for years. As a result, they do not take any anthelmintic drugs, and the diseases caused by their presence become chronic with a recurrent course.
In addition, the full functioning of the internal organs damaged by helminth parasites stops. There is also a decrease in immunity, and the human body can not withstand various infections.
The most dangerous thing is that our body can have parasites with a unique shape and large size that can close the intestinal lumen, which can lead to serious complications.
If intestinal obstruction occurs, then the medication is weak and the person needs urgent surgery, otherwise it can be fatal.
What are the signs that you suspect the presence of parasites?
The symptoms of parasites in the body vary depending on the type of helminth a person encounters and the internal organs in which they live. Let's look at the most common symptoms of parasites in the human body.
Intoxication
Intoxication is a mandatory symptom of parasites. This is due to the fact that helminths parasitizing our body release a lot of toxins, which poison the whole organism. A person appears headache, weakness, nausea, decreased appetite, becomes irritable.
Parasitic infection can cause various types of allergic reactions.
Allergy
Symptoms of helminths in the human body are often manifested by skin rashes. Such a rash may appear and disappear from time to time, but dermatological drugs do not help in practice. In childhood, it can manifest itself in the form of diathesis. Similar events occur due to the same toxic components secreted by parasites. If a person is prone to allergies even before the worms appear, more severe symptoms may occur, mucous membranes may swell, bronchospasm attacks may appear, and so on.
Lose weight
Signs of the presence of parasites in humans are also their good nutrition, not gaining weight, and vice versa. This is especially true for children, who may look tired. This is due to the fact that parasitic worms live in a person due to the consumption of large amounts of food entering the body.
Intestinal disorders
Symptoms of parasites in the body can include flatulence, constipation, diarrhea, as well as severe abdominal pain. Often such symptoms are associated with dysbiosis, they try to treat them with drugs or even antibiotics, but such treatment does not give a positive result.
Deviations in the functioning of the intestine are often accompanied by helminthiasis.
Anemia
Also, because human parasites support their vital functions at the expense of nutrients, they are deficient in the body to meet its own needs. The most important manifestation of this condition is iron deficiency in anemia, which explains the extreme pallor of the skin and mucous membranes, as well as systemic dizziness.
Pain in the joints and muscles
Scientists have long proven that helminths have the ability to move throughout the body, so they can grow in a person's muscles and joints. During migration, a person experiences severe pain in these areas. Very often, such a phenomenon is associated with the development of arthritis, and they begin to be treated with completely different drugs required to get rid of worms. If there are parasites in the muscles, then the most common cause of pain is the damaged tissue.
Biliary pancreatitis
If biliary pancreatitis occurs, it may be due to the presence of parasites in the body. The main symptom in this condition is pain in the abdomen, often in the dorsal or hypochondrium.
This type of pain is especially noticeable after a person has consumed alcohol or eaten something smoked, fried, sour or spicy.
Gallbladder problems
Some types of parasites can live in the gallbladder. In this situation, the worms may not show themselves for a long time, but many people notice changes in their well-being. In the presence of helminths in this organ, a person may feel pain in the abdomen on the right side under the ribs, a bitter taste in the mouth from time to time, and sometimes nausea with vomiting reflexes.
Papillomas
Health experts believe that papillomas indicate the presence of parasites in the human body. Often helminthiasis does not cause any symptoms, and people live with worms for a long time, unaware of it. If more than one papilloma begins to appear on the body, it is worth suspecting an infection and performing tests for ovarian follicles.
The appearance of papillomas may indicate the presence of helminths in the body.
Often people do not associate the appearance of papillomas with the presence of worms in the body, so they make every effort to eliminate cosmetic defects, and at the same time the disease becomes very severe. It is important to understand that papillomas can be malignant if you do not look for the cause and eliminate it.
Ear problems
Helminths tend to migrate in the human body, so they can even enter the ear. However, the parasitic worm once "understands" that there are no very favorable conditions for life in this organ, as there are no nutrients. As a result, parasites that hit the ear canal travel further with the help of ear canals in search of a more comfortable habitat.
How anthelmintic drugs affect parasites
Each drug has a different effect on the body and uninvited guests. Therefore, in order for the treatment of parasites in the body to be effective, it is necessary to consider how the pill will affect the worms.
This happens in one of the following ways:
- The active ingredients of the drug inhibit the production of glycolysis in helminths. The effect is due to paralysis of the muscles of the parasite and its death.
- Medical treatment with some drugs is based on interfering with the processing of glucose by parasites that disrupt the function of intestinal cells and kill worms.
- There are drugs whose activity is aimed at inhibiting the activity of the nervous and muscular system of worms. For this reason, parasites cannot attach to the intestinal wall and pass out in the feces.
- Also, the treatment of parasites can occur due to the fact that drugs that penetrate the human body destroy the impenetrable cuticle of worms, so their body begins to absorb calcium very sharply. As a result, such an environment is unfavorable for parasitic worms.
After taking the drug, the vital activity of parasites slows down and they are eliminated from the body.
Which pills can be treated for parasites
In order for the parasites to leave the human body without causing complications, drug treatment must first focus on relieving the symptoms and then destroying the worms. In medicine, many drugs have been developed to help people get rid of intruders. Medications should be prescribed by a specialist.
Folk remedies against helminths
For the treatment of worms, many people prefer traditional folk remedies that have been proven for centuries instead of medicines. There are many ways to get rid of helminths using traditional medicine, consider the most common and effective recipes:
- Tansy. To combat pinworms and roundworms, take 1/3 teaspoon of the dried flowers of the plant, pulverize it and mix it with a small amount of honey. Such a remedy is taken for 3 days, half an hour before breakfast and dinner. On the last day, shortly before bedtime, take any laxative.
- wormwoodThis herb effectively fights many types of helminths. For such a treatment, the ground leaves and pumpkin seeds of a plant are mixed in equal proportions. Then this mixture is poured with vodka and placed in a warm place for a week. After this period, the drug should be taken 1 cup 2-3 weeks before lunch and dinner.
- Immortal. This plant helps to get rid of tapeworms. To do this, take 2 tablespoons of immortelle, pour 2 cups boiling water, pour into a thermos and leave for 12 hours. The product is then filtered and half a glass is drunk before each meal. This alternative treatment should be continued for 7-10 days.
Although there are many medicines and folk remedies to get rid of worms, self-medication is strictly prohibited. For the treatment to be successful, you need to know for sure that the symptoms are due to the presence of worms in the body, as well as the penetration of worms.
A person cannot determine this on his own, so at the first symptoms, a specialist should be consulted and his recommendations should be strictly followed.
