Parasites in the human body can cause serious damage to human health. But you can defeat them. The main thing in this matter is the timely detection and the correct treatment.
Parasites in the human body: health risks
In most cases, people are unaware that they have parasites on their bodies. In addition, the parasite chooses not only the intestines as habitat, but also other internal organs - liver, gallbladder, etc. The helminthic invasion is asymptomatic up to a point, without causing any special discomfort. However, despite this, it must be understood that infection by worms or helminths can cause serious disorders of the nervous and digestive systems, skin and allergic diseases, as well as causing a deterioration of the metabolic processes and premature aging of the body. According to some scientists, the presence of helminths inhibits the treatment of many diseases.
The parasite's eggs enter the human body through dirty hands, unwashed vegetables and fruits, contaminated fish and meat, dirty water, blood-sucking insects, as well as contact with the soil. In order to prevent parasites from appearing in the body, special attention should be paid to precautionary measures when dealing with pets - dogs and cats.
Signs of parasite infection
In most cases, helminthiasis, that is, infection of the body by a parasite, is characterized by the appearance of problems in the activity of the digestive system, general weakness and nervousness. But similar signs can indicate other illnesses. In fact, the nocturnal gnashing of teeth, which can also be attributed to the symptoms of worm infection, sometimes occurs due to incorrect biting, otorhinolaryngological diseases or nervous disorders. And a marked drop in weight in a patient infected with worms is already observed at an advanced stage. The danger of helminths lies in the fact that they have the ability to camouflage themselves well. And yet, you must know what symptoms appear that indicate infection with this or that type of worms.
Signs of Ascaris:
- significant increase in temperature;
- dry or wet cough;
- rashes on the skin;
- sleep disorders and teeth grinding;
- the appearance of acute pain on the right side;
- decreased appetite;
- stool problems.
Signs of pinworms:
- itching sensations in the anus;
- loss of appetite;
- dryness in the mouth;
- frequent need to go to the bathroom, sometimes false;
- headaches;
- sleep disorders;
- the presence of cracks in the anus;
- urinary incontinence at night.
At the slightest suspicion of parasites on the body, you should immediately seek the help of a specialist who will perform the necessary tests and prescribe the appropriate treatment.
Remedy for parasites: diagnosis and treatment with drugs
Any parasites are not able to exist independently and feed on the resources of their "host". Therefore, if the results of the tests performed indicate that a parasite has settled inside the body, you should not delay a visit to the hospital. 
The treatment process is not easy, so it is best to perform it under the supervision of a specialist. A medicine prepared by the person for parasites, such as a tincture or an enema, will not give a positive result. A competent and qualified approach will prevent the transition from helminthiasis to the stage of chronic disease.
Before starting drug treatment, the doctor suggests that the patient donate feces, urine, blood and sputum for laboratory tests. In addition, procedures such as ultrasound, tomography, endoscopy and enzyme immunoassay will be prescribed. If worms are found in the body, the content of eosinophils in the blood increases and the eggs of the worms appear in the feces. After examining the test results, the doctor determines what type of parasite the body is infected with. To eliminate each of them, a separate treatment is prescribed. Usually, in such cases, the doctor prescribes complex therapy, including reception:
- anthelmintic drugs against parasites, intended to combat a certain type of parasite;
- enzymes, hepatoprotectors, vitamins and medicines that increase the body's defenses;
- drugs that improve intestinal motility, as well as the process of bile secretion.
For maximum effectiveness, the doctor may recommend a gradual treatment:
- The first stage involves adhering to a special diet and starting taking medications to clean the gastrointestinal tract and improve the functioning of the gallbladder.
- The next step is direct therapy, which consists of taking medications prescribed by a doctor.
- And the final stage is the removal of the destroyed worms from the body.
After all parasites in the body are destroyed and removed, it may be necessary to restore weakened vital functions and strengthen immunity. Activated charcoal or enterosgel can be used to remove toxins. And to increase immunity weakened by fighting diseases, immunomodulators are prescribed. The treatment of helminthiasis is cyclical and a new exam should be done only after one and a half to two months.
Used in alternative medicine recipes, a remedy for parasites like onion with garlic can serve as a good help in the battle against worms, but only as a means of increasing human immunity.
