The World Health Organization has shown that 95% of the human population lives with various parasites in the body. These living creatures, which parasitize humans, can attach to any organ, even the ears and eyes, causing many serious diseases that can be fatal. That is why it is so important to know what symptoms of the presence of parasites in the human body can occur and what drugs help to get rid of them.
Infection of the human body by parasites has characteristic symptoms.
Parasites are dangerous to humans
Many varieties of helminths can exist for a long time and actively multiply in the human body, without appearing in any way. As a result, people do not even know they have been infected with worms for years. Consequently, they do not take anthelmintic drugs and the diseases that result from their presence become chronic with a recurrent course.
In addition, the full functioning of the internal organs, which were affected as a result of parasitism of the helminths, ceases. There is also a decrease in immunity and the human body is unable to resist various infections.
The most dangerous is that there may be parasites in our body with unique shapes and large sizes, which can close the intestinal tract, which leads to serious complications.
If intestinal obstruction occurs, then the drugs are powerless and the person needs immediate surgery, otherwise it can be fatal.
What are the signs that you may suspect the presence of parasites?
The symptoms of parasites in the body vary depending on the type of helminth that a person has to deal with and in which of the internal organs it is installed. Let's look at the most common symptoms of parasites in the human body.
Intoxication
Poisoning is a mandatory symptom of parasites. This is due to the fact that helminths, parasites in our body, emit many toxic substances, which is why the whole organism is poisoned. A person may experience headaches, weakness, nausea appear, appetite decreases, it becomes irritable.
A parasitic infection can cause various types of allergic reactions.
Allergy
The symptoms of the presence of helminths in the human body are very often manifested by rashes on the skin. Such a rash can periodically appear and disappear, while dermatological preparations practically do not help from it. In childhood, this can manifest as a mood. Similar phenomena occur due to the same toxic components secreted by the parasites. If a person was prone to allergies even before the appearance of worms, then more severe symptoms may occur, the mucous membranes may swell, bronchial spasms, etc. may occur.
Weight loss
Symptoms of the presence of parasites in humans are also the fact that they eat well and the weight does not increase, but rather decreases. This is especially true for children, who may look exhausted. This is because parasitic worms live inside a person due to the use of large amounts of nutrients that enter the body.
Intestinal disorders
Signs of parasites on the body can manifest themselves with the appearance of flatulence, constipation, diarrhea and also severe abdominal pain. Often, such symptoms are attributed to dysbiosis, trying to treat them with drugs or even antibiotics, but such a treatment does not bring a positive result.
Deviations in intestinal function are often accompanied by helminthiasis.
Anemia
Also, due to the fact that the parasites that live in a person support his vital activity at the expense of nutrients, there is a lack of them to meet the needs of the organism itself. In this case, the most important manifestation is the lack of iron in anemia, which explains the extremely pale skin and mucous membranes, as well as systemic dizziness.
Painful sensations in joints and muscles
Scientists have long confirmed the fact that helminths have the ability to move throughout the body, due to which they can reach a person's muscles and joints. During migration, a person experiences intense pain in these places. Very often, such a manifestation is attributed to the onset of arthritis and they begin to be treated with completely different drugs required to get rid of the worms. If there are parasites in the muscles, then it is the injured tissues that cause the pain itself.
Bile pancreatitis
If biliary pancreatitis occurs, then this may also be due to the presence of parasites in the body. Under such conditions, the main symptom is abdominal pain, which is often given in the back or hypochondrium.
Such pains are especially intense after a person has taken alcohol or eaten something smoked, fried, sour or spicy.
Gallbladder problems
Some types of parasites can live in the gallbladder. In this case, the worms may not appear for a long time, but many people notice changes in their well-being. With the presence of helminths in this organ, a person may feel pain in the abdomen on the right side below the ribs, a bitter taste in the mouth periodically appears and sometimes nausea with vomiting reflexes occurs.
Nipples
Health professionals believe that nipples indicate the presence of parasites in the human body. Often, helminthiasis causes no symptoms and a person lives with worms inside for a long time without knowing it. If you suddenly start to have a lot of papules on your body, then it is worth suspecting an infection and getting tested for an ovarian leaf.
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, therefore, they direct all efforts to eliminate cosmetic defects and the disease, meanwhile, gets much worse. It should be understood that if you do not look for the cause of papillomas and do not eliminate them, then they can become malignant.
Ear problems
Worms tend to migrate throughout the human body, which is why they can even enter the ear. However, once found in this organ, the parasitic worm "understands" that there are not very favorable conditions for life, since there are no nutrients. As a result, having hit the auditory canal, the parasites move further with the help of the auditory canals in search of a more comfortable habitat.
How anthelmintic drugs work on parasites
Each drug has a different effect on the body and on the uninvited guests themselves. Therefore, in order for the treatment of parasites in the body to be effective, it is necessary to take into account how the pill that enters will affect the worms.
This is done in one of the following ways:
- The active ingredients of the drug inhibit the processes of glycolysis production in helminths. The result is achieved due to the fact that the muscles of the parasite become paralyzed and die.
- Medical treatment with some drugs is based on stopping the function of the intestinal cells of the parasites and interfering with the processing of glucose, which leads to the death of the worms.
- There are drugs whose action is aimed at inhibiting the function of the neuromuscular system of worms. Because of this, the parasites can not attach to the walls of the intestine and with the feces come out.
- Also, the treatment of parasites can occur due to the fact that the drug that has penetrated into the human body destroys the impermeable skin of worms, so their body begins to perceive calcium very strongly. As a result, such an environment becomes unfavorable for parasitic worms.
After taking the drugs, the vital activity of the parasites is inhibited and eliminated from the body.
What pills can cure parasites?
In order for the parasites to leave the human body without causing complications, the drug treatment should first aim at eliminating the symptoms and then at destroying the worms. In medicine, many drugs have been developed to help people get rid of invaders. Medications must be prescribed by a specialist.
Folk remedies for helminths
For the treatment of worms, many prefer traditional folk remedies, which 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 control worms and roundworms, take 1/3 of a spoonful of the dried flowers of the plant, grind it into a powder and mix it with honey in a small amount. Such a drug is taken half an hour before breakfast and dinner for 3 days. On the last day, just before bedtime, take any laxative.
- Bitterness. This herb effectively fights many types of helminths. For such a treatment, the ground leaves of a plant and the pumpkin seeds are mixed in equal proportions. This mixture is then poured with vodka and placed in a warm place for a week. After this period, the drug should drink 1 glass before lunch and dinner for 2-3 weeks.
- Immortal. This plant helps to get rid of the film. To do this, take 2 tablespoons of immortal, pour 2 cups boiling water, pour into a thermos and leave for 12 hours. The product is then filtered and consumed in half a glass before each meal. This alternative treatment should be continued for 7 to 10 days.
Despite the fact that there are many medicines and folk remedies for getting rid of worms, self-medication is strictly forbidden. In order for the treatment to have a positive effect, you must know for sure that the symptoms that have arisen have developed due to the presence of worms in the body, as well as which worms have penetrated inside.
A person can not determine it on their own, so at the first sign of symptoms, you should consult a specialist and strictly follow his recommendations.
