Helminthosis is the most common disease on the planet.Parasites live even before our existence and easily adapt to climate change.
Some parasites in the human body are adjacent to us throughout their lives and do not cause great health problems.But most species destroy the host body and cause various pathologies.
The danger of helminthiasis for humans
Parasitic agents multiply and live in the host body, causing significant changes in the body.This leads to the development of repeated chronic diseases.

The localization of parasites can be everywhere -the part of the human body, but more often settles in the organs:
- Gastrointestinal tract
- At the joints,
- In the muscles,
- In the liver and kidneys,
- In the vision organs,
- In the lungs,
- Blood system.
Most types of helminths prefer to stay in the intestines, but with acute invasion, parasites are forced to emigrate.Moving around the body, parasites disable the organs in their path.Migration can trigger improper treatment with folk methods.
Home methods are based on eating bitter herbs and ingredients that are not for worm taste.The easiest to deliver from the intestines to find an environment that is more suitable for their life.
The body of a sick person is more vulnerable to various diseases, the immune system loses its function. Infected people are more likely to develop viral and contagious.
The human body reacts to the residuals of important parasites.The victim has symptoms of intoxication, allergic reactions are aggravated.The processes that occur in the body after infection are not a short -term nature, and one may not see parasites for years.
Helminths type
Parasites that cause one's health problems to be divided into three groups:
- The simplest parasites or protozoal.The group includes toxoplasmosis, Giardia, Trichomonade.Protozoa settles in human cells and, multiplying, destroying it.Methods of sending household and sexual.
- Helminths - worms or larvae living in the human body.Some of the most common stand out: cow tape worm, pinworms, toxocars, ascarides, pinworms.Delivery method: household, through insects, animals or dirty soil.
- Ectoparasites - Living outside the human body: lice, lice, lichen.The main source of nutrition is human blood.Wounds appear on the skin, itchy bites and pain.Dangers in the various infections they spread: typhoid, encephalitis.
The most difficult to treat and diagnosis is helminths infection.It is important to recognize the signs of parasites in your body and know their main type.
Nematode
In other ways, nematodes are called round worms.He got his name because of his body shape.There are more than 45 types of nematodes in a person.Parasites easily spread through personal hygiene and vegetable hygiene items or non -washable fruits.The size of the worm, depending on the variety, starting from a few millimeters and ending with tens of centimeters.

Some of the most common round worms stand out:
- Tip - Habitat's main place - one's intestines, worm length up to 1 cm.When infected, one shows symptoms: gastrointestinal tract infringement, fatigue, anemia, sleep disorders.
- Soldiides - The length of the worm reaches 30 cm, it can migrate and settle on various parts of the body.When infected, one shows symptoms: allergic reactions, anemia, asthma, dermatitis are exacerbated.Once in the eyes or liver, ascarides can lead to serious illness.
- Trichinella is a worm size of only 2-3 mm, the main habitat is the intestine.When infected, it causes the following complications in a person: swelling, allergic reactions, digestive tract violations, fever.
- Vlashev - Lives in the gastrointestinal tract, the size of an adult individual up to 4.5 cm.In a person, parasites cause: anemia, weakness, body poisoning.
The severity of the disease is associated with the number of parasitic agents in the body, their species and localization.
Trematode
Tremontodes have a flat body.All types of trematodes have a suction cup where it is set to the walls of the internal organs.Blood parasites feeduseful materials and other secrets.In the human body, only adults are parasite.
Before a person's infection, the trematode passes through the middle of his life in the body of another owner: in fish, animals, insects.The human body most often enters the untreated foods.
Among the ordinary species, the trematodes are distinguished:
- Opistorch or Feline Bacon - the worm body has a length of 1-2 cm, the main localization: the pancreas, gall bladder, and liver.A person causes disease: gastritis, ulcer, cholecystitis, pancreatitis.Sent from animals to humans.Due to localization in a difficult place, parasites are difficult to diagnose.
- Strongigiloid or eating intestines - small flat worms, up to 2 mm long.Set in the digestive tract.After infection, a person who is pathological is pathological: anemia, asthma, bronchitis, asthenia, infertility.
All types of trematodes can easily migrate throughout the body, causing mechanical damage to one's internal organs.
Cestodes
Parasite strip worm, which lives in a person's gastrointestinal tract.The length of the cestod reaches a few tens of meters.Someone gets from the middle host - a large animal: a cow, a horse.The larvae falls into the human body from the meat of the bad fried animals, which one eats for food.
Some of the most common types of strip worms stand out:
- Wide tape - stay on the thin side of the intestine.Length can reach 3-5 m.In humans, it causes disease: anemia, intestinal obstruction, digestive disorders.
- Pork chain - settle in one's intestines.In length, strip worms reach 7-8 m.Patients show: esophageal obstruction, intoxication, cysticose.
- Taper Gull is the largest human parasite.In length, the worm can reach 18 m.Someone has intestinal obstruction, fun, allergies.
Larva All types of cestodes can damage the internal organs and trigger the appearance of tumors.
Source of infection
The main type of delivery of helminthiasis is household.Among the possible sources of infection, they stand out:
- Personal hygiene items: towels, toothbrushes, brushes, beds,
- Dirty hands,
- The toilet in a public place,
- Inadequate meat or fish
- Vegetables, berries and non -washed fruits,
- Unsuccessful water from the crane or open source,
- Unprocessed animals.

Some types of parasites are sexually transmitted.This includes trichomoniasis.
To prevent infection, it is necessary to observe personal hygiene and wash your hands with soap several times a day.In the absence of water and soap, it is recommended to treat hands with antiseptic solutions.
Vegetables and fruits before meals are washed in flowing water.Apples, pears and other fruits used with skin, are recommended to rinse with special tools or household soaps.Animals at home every 6 months are treated from helminths using special medicines.Boil water before drinking, a little boy is specially given from a bottle.
Once a week, children are trimmed with nails.Dirt under nails is cleaned daily.It's easier to clean your nails with an old toothbrush or a special file.
Symptoms of helminthiasis
The damage to the internal organs varies depending on the localization of the parasite in the body.But there are common symptoms that arise when infected with any type of agent.
Intoxicated
With the parasites in the human body, the helmint leaves the product of his life.The patient receives poisoning, which is indicated by the following symptoms:
- Headache,
- Nausea,
- A disadvantage,
- A decrease in appetite,
- Anxiety.
Allergy
Allergic reactions manifested in the early stages in the form of skin rash, which is difficult to treat.After treatment, the rash disappears, but after a certain time it is real.In small children, diathesic rash is observed on the cheeks, neck, on the thighs and armpits.Skin rash is explained by toxins that helminths distinguish.
In allergies or asthma, parasites can cause mucous swelling, bronchial spasms, asthma attacks.

Weight change
When infected with helminths, one can lose weight.Weight loss is associated with the struggle for nutrients used by parasites.But small parasites can trigger weight gain.Once in the bloodstream, unicellular disrupts blood circulation, and the metabolism in the body slows down.In a person, the swelling shows himself, weight gain.
Hyperthermia
Against the background of secondary pathology in patients with helminthiasis, the temperature rises to 37.5 degrees periodically.Temperatures rise for no apparent reason and accompany weakness, general weakness.Someone is tired, he wants to sleep all the time.Symptoms pass independently, also unexpectedly as it appears.
Disruption in the digestive tract
Digestive disorders are associated with body intoxication and the development of parasites in the intestine. Symptoms resemble dysbiosis, and improper treatment is prescribed to the patient.
If it violates the digestive tract, symptoms are observed:
- Bloated stomach,
- Unstable chairs (diarrhea and constipation),
- Heartburn,
- Pain in the stomach.
Anemia
The parasitic agent consumes the nutrients intended to the owner.One does not receive the required number of vitamins and minerals.The iron indicator in the blood falls.Patients experience weaknesses, general weaknesses.Skin and pale mucous membranes.Poor conditions are accompanied by frequent dizziness and fainting.
When any of these symptoms appear, it should be contacted by a specialist and undergo a full body examination for helminths.
Diagnosis of a disease
Before prescribing treatment, it is necessary to determine the type of body parasite and where the worm is localized.Most drugs are developed to combat certain types of helminths.There are universal remedies, but their effectiveness is lower, and they have more side effects.

The type of pathogen is determined by the following types of examinations:
- Stool analysis for parasitic eggs,
- General blood test,
- Blood immunoferment test,
- Smear,
- The secret analysis of the duodenum,
- Ultrasound of the channel and gastrointestinal liver,
- Tomography.
Tomography is prescribed if other research methods do not allow it to present a complete picture of the infection.
With negative results, some research methods are reset.The easiest way to determine the presence of adult parasites in the human body.During the incubation period, the analysis shows negative results.
When diagnosing parasites, the doctor will immediately prescribe appropriate treatment.
Helminthosis therapy
Helminthiasis treatment is a variety of stages and will take time from patients.In the first stage, the body should be prepared and cleaned from accumulated toxins.The patient is a prescribed sorbent.Cleaning the toxin body lasts for at least five days.
In the second stage, the antiparasitic agent is prescribed to the patient.It is best if the drug is individually selected for a particular type of parasite.
The level of the shooting parasite is conducted in two courses.The first course will kill adults helminths in the human body.After 10-14 days, adult worms will be replaced by new ones that will hatch from layered eggs.The second course will kill new individuals.
The most important is recovery - the third stage of treatment.In the third stage, the digestive tract, liver and immune system are restored.Patients are prescribed sorbing medicine courses.After taking sorbents, it is recommended to take medications that help in the digestive tract.Medicines are food enzymes and help absorb food.Dosage is individually selected depending on the patient's weight and secondary disease.
Polyvitamin is added at the same time.As well as remedies to maintain immunity.
Any therapy is performed under the supervision of a specialist.If helminthiasis is caused by an infection with a plate or tape parasite, then therapy is performed in the hospital.Removing parasites Some species require surgical intervention.

A method of people's treatment
All anthelmintic drugs are toxic and contraindicated for pregnant women.You can expel parasites with people who have no side effects.
Growing -Plants have anti -—antithillus: tansy, wormwood, linen, cloves, ginger.
