People consume food products to replenish the energy reserves spent in the process of active living. But you can imagine that a person often becomes a great target for the simplest living organisms. Uninvited "tenants" can use the owner for a long time as a living container, providing food, housing and comfortable conditions. If the parasites have settled in the human body, the symptoms of the infection can easily be confused with signs of certain diseases, such as colds, gastritis, pneumonia, etc.
The most common symptoms of parasitism
Parasitic life forms exist and develop to the detriment of man, while causing irreparable damage to his health, because the lion's portion of nutrients and vitamins goes to the "conqueror" who modestly hides in one of the internal organs: intestines, lungs. , heart, liver, joints etc. κ. λπ. The devastating effect depends on the length of stay and the "appetite" of the immigrant; parasitism is believed to be the leading cause of diseases such as diabetes, pancreatitis, bronchial asthma, cholecystitis and atopic dermatitis.
Symptoms of the presence of parasites in the human body:
- gastrointestinal disorders (constipation, flatulence, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, localized pain in the stomach).
- endocrine system disorders (weight fluctuations, underweight or overweight, hormonal imbalance).
- dental diseases (stomatitis, periodontal disease).
- problems related to the work of the musculoskeletal system (joint pain, muscle - joint disease, arthritis).
- neurological disorders (irritability, insomnia, unexplained anxiety, depressive states).
- Allergic reactions and related skin problems (elevated eosinophil levels, immunoglobulin E, allergic rhinitis, eczema, urticaria, papillomas, dermatitis).
- respiratory diseases (bronchial asthma, pneumonia).
- violation of hematopoiesis, decreased vascular permeability, anemia (critical decrease in hemoglobin).
- chronic fatigue and decreased immunity (common mild ARVI, tonsillitis, apathy, low blood pressure, weakness and poor memory).
- oncological diseases;
- cosmetic problems (cracked heels, dry skin, brittle nails, faded hair, seborrhea, baldness).
- gynecological and urological diseases (in women: menstrual disorders, secretions, vaginal candidiasis, fibroids, mastopathy and in men: prostatitis, urolithiasis).
- bruxism (gnashing of teeth), snoring.
Even knowing the signs of parasites in the human body, it is difficult to diagnose parasites without a complete examination (three times scraping and blood test). The symptoms of a parasitic invasion are a consequence of the intense activity of the "visitor", when a person suffers from poisoning with helminth waste, chronic irritation of the affected organs and the immune system is no longer able to cope with the disease itself.
Characteristics of the course of parasitism in children
Children, unlike adults, are more likely to experience parasitic infections in everyday life. Infection usually occurs during a walk (after contact with sand or soil) as a result of close contact with sick animals or swimming in open water. Usually, the signs of parasites in children are difficult to identify, the primary infection and colonization of helminths occurs imperceptibly. Gradually, the amount of toxins in the blood increases, the child's body is poisoned with helminth waste, which manifests itself in the form of reduced immunity and permanent diseases, allergies of unknown etiology, dysbiosis and physical exhaustion.
The following indirect symptoms of the parasite in children can be distinguished:
- poor appetite or, conversely, gluttony, passion for sweets.
- regular headaches accompanied by nausea.
- emerging rapid fatigue;
- lack of daily bowel movements (constipation).
- vomiting, belching, bad breath.
- pale skin, "blue" under the eyes.
- irritability, aggression, whims.
- hyperactivity, especially at night.
- bad (intermittent) night sleep, associated with agitation, whining, bruxism.
- irritation or redness in the genital area.
Symptoms of a protozoan infection should be used as a "beacon" for a thorough examination. An early and professional diagnosis allows you to completely cure the parasitic infection with minimal damage to the health of the body.
