After reading this article, you can study the problem in more detail and immediately understand how to determine the presence of parasites in the body, that is, restore a complete image of your body.
What parasites may be in our body
Basically, the organisms that parasitize our organs are divided into two types: endoparasites and ectoparasites.
Endoparasites parasitize our bodies and other tall organisms, live inside them and feed on organism cells. Endoparasites are all worms, lamblia, toxoplasma, echinococcus. It could be a fungus, a bacterium or a virus.
The second type of bacteria are ectoparasites. They live on the surface of bodies, that is, in our nature, in our body. Its food is the cells of our tissues, for example, the skin, as well as our blood. More specifically, they are parasites, such as bedbugs, lice, fleas, ticks. Mosquitoes and flies are also referred to as ectoparasites.
How to determine the presence of parasites within the body through symptoms
How to know if there are parasites in the body is possible both in its appearance and in its internal state.
There are many symptoms associated with parasites. As these symptoms are very popular, they are also symptoms of common illnesses, people generally do not even suspect their presence in the body. Therefore, the symptoms are treated separately and, in turn, reappear after treatment.
It is not uncommon to find recommendations from doctors to start treatment with the appearance of various symptoms of the following groups with prophylactic drugs against parasites. In any case, it will help you to become healthier. Next, we'll look at a complete list of symptoms, divided into groups, and you'll learn how to determine if there are parasites in your body.
Symptoms of the digestive tract
- constipation.Worms can be quite large. Therefore, they can block some of the outlets of Organs digestive organs. Some parasites can completely close the intestinal and bile ducts. This usually affects your stools. It can become rare and difficult;
- diarrhea.Diarrhea is generally believed to be a well-known reaction to malnutrition. But it's not always so. Many bacteria produce hormones that affect feces in this way;
- gases and bloating.Very often, parasites are found in the small intestine, and this usually leads to flatulence, followed by abundant gases. If the swelling is almost constant, then this is an occasion to think about the possible presence of parasites in the body;
- irritable bowel syndrome.As parasites live by feeding on substances in our body, for example, fats, the intestinal walls are often irritated. This is followed by a certain amount of symptoms and a decrease in nutrient absorption. Thus, the substances are not absorbed, but immediately enter the large intestine, which causes problems in the digestive tract.
Almost any parasitic invasion on the blood test will increase eosinophil cells.
Pain in the joints and muscles
Parasites have a specific ability. They can live, moving through the body, having the task of settling in the most convenient place on the body. One of these places is the joint fluid and the muscles. The symptoms are painful, usually similar to the symptoms of arthritis, but this is not always the case.
Parasites cause great damage to muscle tissue or immunity. Therefore, its presence in the body turns into muscle pain.
External manifestations of parasites
- allergies.Parasites constantly release toxins. The toxins cause great damage to the body, as large doses of special protective cells are released. They negatively affect the body, and this leads to allergic reactions;
- theme of the problem.Parasites can cause not only allergies, but also various skin ulcers, acne or pimples and other external reactions. So think again if you have persistent skin problems. This will help to establish the presence of worms;
- anemia.Many bacteria "steal" nutrients and this leads to blood loss. This results in a lack of iron;
- weight problems.It is generally accepted that worms can only reduce weight, but this is a big mistake, as parasites can increase weight. With great weight loss, the reason is always that worms absorb our food faster than we do. The symptom of weight loss is a proven way of knowing if you have worms. But obesity is more complicated. It seems due to the low blood sugar level. As a result, an irresistible appetite arises, as it negatively affects metabolism. In addition, obesity may just be a defensive reaction from the body.
For intestinal parasites, the main symptom is fever, nausea, vomiting, loose stools and hives on the skin /
Symptoms caused by the nervous system
- Nervousness.Appears due to irritation by parasites of important organs, even of a secondary nature. However, the person may not notice other symptoms. Thus, you can identify the life of parasitic organisms based on the state of your nervous system.
- Sleep disorders.Often a person associates constant awakening with diseases of the nervous system, but more often the case is elsewhere. At night, the liver starts to function and, when it removes toxic substances, our body becomes very active. Because of this, there may be awakenings during sleep.
- Teeth grinding while sleeping.Certain types of bacteria can irritate the body so much that bruxism is possible. In addition, this is a very common symptom. Thanks to it, you can easily learn to recognize the presence of foreign bodies in the organs of an adult or, more often, of a child.
- Chronic fatigue syndrome.This symptom, which in some cases is an individual disease, includes many others. They are apathy, depression, fatigue, decreased attention. This is due to the fact that parasites consume a lot of nutrients and nutrients. And, of course, the body stops grabbing them.
If the brain is affected by cysticercosis, nervousness, headaches, seizures and pseudo-epileptic attacks will be typical.
Other symptoms
- Immune diseases.Persistent colds, runny nose and cough can be the consequences of a weak immune system. And that, in turn, weakened due to lack of nutrients.
- Oncological diseases.One of the most common causes of organ failure and cancer is a parasitic organism. They can sit so much on their organs that they often lead to long-term consequences - serious illnesses.
- Inflammation of the respiratory tract.It has been said about the movement of worms throughout the body. Another of the most comfortable places is the airways. Thereafter, there is cough, phlegm and runny nose.
Conclusion
