Helminth is the most common disease on the planet.The pests lived even before our existence and easily adapted to any climate change.
Some parasites in the human body are by their way all their lives and do not cause major health problems.But most species destroy the host's body and cause various pathologies.
The risk of helminth for man
Parasitic agents multiply and live in the host's body, causing significant changes in the body.This leads to the development of chronic diseases that are constantly repeated.
Pest detection may be in any part of the human body, but more often helminths are installed in organs:
- Gastrointestinal tract
- In the joints,
- In the muscles,
- In the liver and kidneys,
- In the organs of vision,
- In the lungs,
- Blood system.
Most types of helmets prefer to live in the intestines, but with acute invasion, parasites are forced to migrate.Moving around the body, the parasites drag the organs on their path.Migration can cause inappropriate treatment with popular methods.
Home methods are based on the consumption of bitter herbs and substances that are not in the taste of worms.The simplest is sent from the intestines in search of a more suitable environment for their lives.
A patient's body is more sensitive to various diseases, the immune system loses its functionality. An infected person is more likely to suffer from viral and infectious diseases.
The human body reacts strongly to the ruins of the vital activity of pests.The victim has symptoms of poisoning, an allergic reaction worsens.Procedures that occur in the body after infection are not fleeting nature and a person may not notice a parasitic agent for years.
Types of helminth
Parasites that cause a person's health problems are divided into three groups:
- The simplest or protozoa parasites.This group includes toxoplasmosis, Giardia, Trichomonade.Protozoa are installed in human cells and, by multiplying, destroying.The method of household and sexual transmission.
- Helminths - worms or larvae installed within the human body.Among the most common separately: Tapeworm bull, pinworms, toxocars, Ascarides, pinworms.Transmission methods: household, through insects, animals or dirty land.
- Ectoparasites - Live outside the human body: ticks, lice, lichens.The main source of nutrition is human blood.The wounds appear on the skin, bite itching and hurt.The risk in various infections that spread: typhoid, encephalitis.

- Vlashev - lives in the gastrointestinal tract, the size of an adult person up to 4.5 cm.In a person, the parasite causes: anemia, weakness, body poisoning.
The severity of the disease is associated with the number of parasitic agents in their body, type and identification.
Jerk
Tremontodes have a flat body.All types of frenzy have a suction with which they are fastened to the walls of the inner organs.Blood pests feed on
Useful substances and other secrets.In the human body, only adults are parasitized.
Before a person's infection, Trematod passes an intermediate stage of his life in another owner's body: in fish, animals, insect.The human body more often enters along with poorly processed foods.
Among the common species, the trematodes are separated:
- The Bacon Opistorch or the cat - the worm's body is only 1-2 cm long, the main detection: the pancreatic conductors, the gall bladder and the liver.A person causes diseases: gastritis, ulcer, cholecystitis, pancreatitis.Transmitted from animals to humans.Due to location in spaces that are difficult to attract, the parasite is difficult to diagnose.
- Strongiloid or eating intestinal - small flat worm, very up to 2 mm.Set on the digestive tract.After infection, a person develops pathologies: anemia, asthma, bronchitis, disease, infertility.
All types of trematodes easily migrate throughout the body, causing mechanical damage to a person's internal organs.
Spots
Parasitic tape worm, which is installed in a person's gastrointestinal tract.The length of the cestodes reaches various tens of meters.A person gets from an intermediate host - a big animal: a cow, a horse.The larvae fall into the human body from the poor fried animal meat, which a person eats for food.

In allergies or asthma, parasites can cause mucosal swelling, bronchus convulsions, asthma attacks.
Weight change
When infected with helminths, a person may lose weight.The loss of body weight is associated with the struggle for the nutrients consumed by the parasite.But small parasitic agents can cause weight gain.Once found in the bloodstream, the monocyte blood circulation disturbance and metabolism in the body slows down.In one person, swelling is manifested, weight increases.

Diagnosis of the disease
Before prescribing treatment, it is necessary to determine the type of pest that is infected the body and where the worm is located.Most medicines are developed to combat a particular type of helminth.There are universal drugs, but their effectiveness is lower and have more side effects.
The type of pathogen is determined by the following test types:
- Analysis of feces for pest eggs,
- General blood test,
- Test of blood immunophobia,
- Blot,
- Analysis of the secret of the duodenum,
- Ultrasound of the gastrointestinal tract and liver,
- Tomography.
The tomography is prescribed if the other research methods have not allowed to present a complete picture of the infection.
With a negative result, some research methods are prescribed again.The easiest way to determine the presence of an adult parasite in the human body.During the incubation period, analyzes have a negative effect.
