Worms in the human body are the cause of various diseases. Medical statistics have recorded 300 pathological conditions caused by parasites. Distinguish the intestinal and parenteral nature of the source of infection:
- The larva is located in the intestine.
- They are found in the lungs, kidneys, liver, brain and other organs.
Common types of worms
Worms invade the bodies of adults and children. Infants are most often infected by contact with animals (stray cats, dogs) and neglect to pay attention to hand hygiene. Worms can damage individual organs and cause general deterioration of health. Roundworms and pinworms are considered common round worms, and their pictures can be seen everywhere on the Internet. Popular tape types-tapeworms, tapeworms. An adult tapeworm is 9 meters long. His life span is 25 years.
In medical practice, the prevalent diagnosis is pinworm disease-an intestinal infection caused by pinworms. The parasites are compact, they rarely grow to 1 cm, and live an active lifestyle at night for 1. 5-2 months. Pinworms have enough time to lay eggs on the skin around the anus. Larvae contribute to the rapid development of diseases. After laying eggs, pinworms die, but the number of fertile offspring is rapidly increasing in human tissues.
The second prevalent diagnosis in medical practice is ascariasis. The disease is caused by a large pathogen, up to 20 cm long. Roundworms live in the small intestine and are invisible to the naked eye. It is difficult to find roundworms in feces. Their life span ranges from one year to several years.
Causes of worm infection
What is the cause of the disease? What circumstances become a platform for the development of dangerous infections? Based on the analysis of the data, the experts determined the following factors:
- Biological worms (taenia) invade the human body through meat dishes that have not been thoroughly heat-treated. The best way to prevent contamination is to cook, fry and steam meat as food. Raw beef is a breeding ground for cattle tapeworms and pork-pork tapeworms.
- Raw fish is an excellent breeding ground for tapeworms and posterior tapeworms. If the dishes are cooked at insufficient temperature and people eat them, the tapeworm will penetrate the body and become fixed in the mucous tissue. For people who like to go to nature, an important rule is not to wash dishes in water bodies, to wash food in rivers, and to wash hands without soap in lakes, because water is often polluted by harmful larvae.
- Roundworms exist in soil with biological feces. Digging in the bed, touching the sand with your hands, and loosening the soil with your fingers, it is easy to pick up dangerous pests. If you do not wash your hands thoroughly with soap at home, the disease is guaranteed.
- Family infection is a possible option for infection. The mode of transmission is through touch and handshake. Handrails of vehicles, door handles in public places, wardrobe numbers, and seeds bought from grandmothers at the market have become hotbeds for infection. Money is considered to be particularly rich in maintaining infections. Within a day, a single banknote traveled a long distance to collect bacteria from dozens of dirty hands. The precautionary instructions are always simple-after returning home from the street and before each meal, you need to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
Flies, midges and other insects are considered dangerous. Winged insects transfer their eggs to the legs and proboscis, and then lay the larvae on food. Insect bites can also cause disease. The most common type of transmission is animal hair. If you pet a puppy or cat on the street, you are at risk of infection. Pinworm eggs that fall from the fur of a domestic cat can maintain a lifespan of about six months. Dangerous infections can easily attack a person in the first place and spread freely through contact with infected objects.
After the disease enters the human body, it is difficult to find its symptoms immediately. In the early stages, there are no signs of disease. Parasites need to reproduce. The decision to perform a special analysis will not immediately appear on the infected carrier. The body's allergic reactions and slight itching of the anus are rarely directly related to the invasion of worms. If these signs have not been eliminated for a long time, and no antihistamines can help eliminate the adverse consequences of the disease, a highly accurate laboratory analysis can determine the presence of worms in the body.
How the disease manifests
The presence of parasites in adults can cause the following reactions:
- Allergic rash. In the presence of worms, the effectiveness of antihistamines is not always proven in practice. From time to time, unreasonable eczema, urticaria, papilloma, acne and boils may appear on the body.
- Anemia-A lack of iron in the blood of an infected person will develop rapidly. Remove all valuable things from the host's blood, and the worm will deplete it, removing nutrients and substances.
- If you don’t know how to get rid of frequent coughs, what to drink to combat unpleasant phenomena, if the best medical treatments are ineffective and without any results, you may soon need worm medicine. At least, when the compulsive cough lasts for a long time, it is worth checking for this pathology and expelling eggs through feces.
- Inflammatory process. If you are suddenly hit by all the unfortunate attacks, including pneumonia, rhinitis, bronchitis and similar diseases, this should remind you, as well as the other symptoms listed in this section.
- If you can't go to the toilet without an enema at home, there are reasons to be vigilant. Long worms that accumulate in the feces may prevent the feces from passing through the intestines. When the body itself tries to get rid of poisoning through diarrhea and diarrhea, another reaction may occur. Loose stools can last from a few days to a month. In this case, stool has obvious sticky characteristics.
- The long-term debate about whether the general decline in immunity can be regarded as a feature of invasion has yet to find a definitive answer to this question. However, along with other symptoms, this factor has a legal right to exist.
- You may not know what this disease is like, but it does not mean that you managed to avoid infection. Notice the recent increase in general tension, signs of bruxism (pathological bruxism) in dreams, mental depression, and check for worm eggs. Analysis may reveal the presence of dangerous symptoms.
- Fast weight loss is thought to be the result of the loss of nutrients in the body.
- Feeling of bloating and increased gas formation.
- There are white bubbles in the vestibule of the oral cavity and inside the lips.
- When the tissue is traumatized, along with the movement of the worm, joint pain and discomfort in the work of the musculoskeletal system will appear.
It is difficult to say how many symptoms there should be from the above factors. When you find a few matches from the big list, you should not see a doctor. However, if you have more than 5 and cannot determine the real cause of the violation, there are reasons to be vigilant and see a specialist. It is a doctor who can diagnose and determine how to remove worms in a short period of time so that you can return to a normal lifestyle.
Symptoms of worms in children
It is not difficult to determine whether children have worms. Special tests can be used to determine whether there are diseases such as trichomoniasis, ascariasis, or bilobosis. The following symptoms are helpful for diagnosis:
- The baby is hyperactive and excessively irritable. It seems that he can't sit still.
- Itching and burning in the anus. It is difficult for babies to control themselves, and the desire to scratch overwhelms the decent rules instilled by their parents. Compulsive scratching is not hard to notice.
- Excessive salivation at night, during sleep and when waking up.
- Considering that worms will actively absorb valuable substances and ingredients in the body, children's uncontrollable cravings for sweets will be awakened. The children were asked to give them sweets and various delicacies to drown out the "shortage" formed by the body.
Reading reviews online, you will pay attention to how parents record strange abnormalities in their children's behavior. Parasites can not be found in the structure of feces in all cases. Worms can be identified by the flaky skin on the eyelids, split ends, brittle marigolds, lethargy and lethargy, and general decline in immunity. After the diagnosis of the above three or more signs, you should consult a doctor immediately. The expert will conduct the necessary research and make an accurate diagnosis.
Worm invasion: a complication of disease
Worms will devour all the valuable things in our bodies. By sucking out vitamins and minerals, the worm deprives the cells of their ability to function properly. In the course of life activities, parasites secrete anti-enzymes. This can protect them from death in the human body. Due to the spread of toxic substances in the blood, carriers show bronchial asthma, dermatitis of varying severity and other similar diseases.
Worms can swallow white blood cells, cause irreparable damage to the immune system, and continue to destroy it. Lack of important substances such as calcium, manganese, iodine, silicon-all these are the consequences of the life of worms in our bodies. One of the most common failures faced by every operator is ecological imbalance. In the case of parasite invasion, the destruction of the normal intestinal microbiota is normal.
An interesting video seems to show how worms live and reproduce in the human body. Moving along the mucosa with the help of suction cups, nails and hooks, they can cause irreparable damage, pierce their surface and stimulate nerve endings. This usually leads to mucosal necrosis and internal bleeding. Parasitic microorganisms can cause irreparable consequences. These include blindness caused by roundworms, migraines caused by roundworms, high blood pressure and epilepsy.
But one of the most terrifying consequences may be pregnant women infected with roundworms. Parasites invade the developing embryo and destroy the formation of the infant's bronchopulmonary system, leading to developmental delays in the uterus. Considering that mothers cannot take broad-spectrum antibiotics and the approved drug list is very limited, roundworms have found an environment where they can reproduce freely. When a child is born from an infected mother, his height and weight significantly lag behind those of a healthy baby.
Methods of Diagnosing Disease
To make a diagnosis, you should contact the pediatrician at the clinic in your place of residence or any paying medical institution. After introducing the symptoms that bother you to your doctor, you will receive a referral for laboratory research. The diagnosis is confirmed by routine tests on worm eggs. For this reason, it is necessary to collect feces in a special container and carry materials for research. This can happen when the suspicion of the parasite is high, but the analysis did not give a positive result. In this case, the study can be repeated multiple times in succession.
Ways to treat worms-from A to Z
There are many treatments. in:
- medical treatement;
- Time-tested folk remedies and recipes;
- Special insect repellent device.
One thing is certain-getting rid of the infection is imperative, otherwise the damage caused cannot be compensated in any way. The doctor will tell you which medicine to choose and which treatment option is preferred. Only qualified experts can decide on the exposure method. The information in this article is for reference only. Without consulting professionals, the cost of health may be too high, and the time wasted on self-medication may be very expensive.
Treatment stage
The question of how to be treated must have a clear answer-comprehensive. It is important to follow the order. In the first stage of purification, oil and adsorbents are usually used. Folk recipes suggest starting with pumpkin (linseed) oil. Activated charcoal or any other suspension with a similar spectrum of action will help remove toxins from the tissue. You can contact the nearest pharmacy to find out which medicines are named from the pharmacist. It is well known that worms cannot tolerate bile, so it is recommended to use formulas that stimulate their production.
In the second stage, pills are used, individually selected by the doctor. Their choice depends on the specific clinical situation.
Although you can find almost any medicine in pharmacies today, it is strongly recommended not to prescribe it yourself. Wrongly calculated doses and wrongly selected drugs can cause irreparable damage to the work of life’s major systems and disrupt their normal functions.
Enzymes, immunostimulants, and vitamin-mineral complexes will help stabilize the impaired function after treatment. If an allergic reaction is observed, it is recommended to use an antihistamine formulation.
Herbs, enemas and diet
Folk recipes recommend the best insect repellent herbs. Among them are thyme, birch buds, valerian root, bamboo grass, and elecampane. For adult patients, tinctures of mugwort, tansy and St. John's wort are effective. In addition to using herbs, experts recommend sticking to the principles of healthy eating.
During the period of vaccination or taking powerful drugs, you need to adjust your diet and avoid spicy, salty, smoky and greasy foods. It should be emphasized:
- Dairy products
- vegetarian diet;
- Herbal ingredients
- fruits and vegetables.
Experts recommend eating nuts and garlic every day, and drinking a tablespoon of castor oil on an empty stomach in the morning. You should eat multiple meals at the table (at least 5-6 times). In an additional procedure, enema with soda solution (10 grams per 1 warm water), and room temperature milk with garlic, proved to be good.
Treatment device
Special equipment has recently appeared on the market. Their working principle is based on the use of electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency. The most famous are Zapper and Det devices. However, research conducted has shown that the effect of this device is only high for adults. In addition, the effect of the device has a negative impact on blood cells, destroying their original structure. The use of equipment can produce beneficial effects, but the premise is the practice of applying a comprehensive approach.
In addition to the listed options, other techniques are also known. Among them, the parasite's oxygen is discharged when their habitat significantly changes their physical and chemical data. The bottom line is simple-on an empty stomach, a small tube is inserted into the stomach to deliver oxygen under pressure in certain parts. The tissues and mucous membranes are filled with oxygen, and the worms leave the host due to unfavorable living conditions. This procedure has no side effects, so it is recommended for adults and children.
Ozone therapy is very interesting. With the help of ozone-rich solutions, microcapsules, herbal teas, and intravenous preparations can be used. The essence of this method is similar to the previous one. Together with oxygen, ozone prevents the respiration of parasites. As a result, they were forced to leave the body of the infected carrier.
Traditional methods and recipes
Almost all folk recipes are taken orally on an empty stomach in the morning. Particularly popular is the decoction of absinthe, boiled walnut leaves and fresh carrot juice. Folk healers use pomegranate peel tincture and birch bud extract. The simplest but equally effective treatment is pumpkin seeds. The delicious hospitality is very effective. It is necessary to tap the healing potion 3 times a day, at least 100-150 grams at a time.
Another traditional remedy is herring with onion rings soaked in vegetable oil and lemon juice. But you need to eat this dish on an empty stomach twice a day. You can't drink it for several hours. In view of the amber color of herring, it is best to stay at home on the day the product is consumed.
