Helminthosis is the most common disease on the planet.The parasites lived before our existence and easily adapted to any climate change.
Some parasites of the human body are adjacent to our lives and do not cause major health problems.But most species destroy the body of the host and cause various pathologies.
The danger of halminthiasis for people
Parasitic agents multiply and live in the host body, which causes significant changes in the body.This leads to the development of chronic diseases that are constantly repeated.
The localization of parasites may be any part of the human body, but the helmink is more often organized in organs:
- Stomach tract
- In the joints,
- In the muscles,
- In the liver and kidney,
- In the organs of vision,
- In the lungs,
- Blood system.
Most Helmin types prefer the intestine, but with acute invasion, parasites are forced to migrate.Moving around the body, the parasites corrupt the organs on their way.Migration can cause inadequate treatment with folk methods.
Home methods are based on a meal of bitter herbs and substances that are not the taste of worms.The simplest of the gut sends you to look for a more appropriate environment for their lives.
The patient's body is more prone to various diseases, and the immune system loses its functionality. The infected person is more likely to suffer from viral and infectious diseases.
The human body responds acute to the remains of vital activity of parasites.The victim has symptoms of intoxication and the allergic reaction worsens.The processes occurring in the body after infection are not brief and a person has not noticed a parasite agent for years.
Types of halmintes
Parasites that cause human health problems are divided into three groups:
- The simplest or protozoal parasites.This group includes toxoplasmosis, giardia, Trichomonade.Protozoa is located inside the human cells and destroys it multiplied.A method of household and sexual transfer.
- Helmints - worms or larvae that settle inside the human body.Among the most common protrusions: bull tape worm, pinworms, toxic friends, ascarides, pinworms.Transfer methods: household, insects, animals or dirty ground.
- Ectoparasites - Live outside the human body: ticks, lice, lichen.The main source of nutrition is human blood.Wounds appear on the skin, pinch the itching and injure.The risk of various infections that are spread: typhoid, encephalitis.
The most difficult to treat and diagnose the helmints infection.It is important to recognize the signs of parasites in the body and to get to know their main types.
Nematodes
Otherwise, the nematodes are called round worms.He got his name because of the shape of the body.One person has more than 45 types of nematodes.The parasite can easily spread on personal hygiene objects and unwashed vegetables or fruits.The size of the round worm, depending on the variety, starts at several millimeters and ends ten centimeters.
It stands out among the most common round worms:
- Tips - the main place of the habitat - is the intestine of a person, the length of the worm up to 1 cm.An infected person disclosure of symptoms: violation of the stomach system, exhaustion, anemia, sleep disease.
- Askarides - The worm length reaches 30 cm, can migrate and settle in different parts of the body.In the case of infection, a person expresses symptoms: allergic reaction, anemia, asthma, dermatitis.Ascarides can lead to serious illnesses to the eye or liver.
- Trichinella is only 2-3 mm worm size, the main habitat of the intestine.In the case of infection, it causes the following complications for a person: swelling, allergic reaction, digestive violation, fever.
- Vlashev -lives in the gastric intestine system, an adult individual to 4.5 cm.For a person, it is caused by the parasite: anemia, weakness, body poisoning.
The severity of the disease is associated with the number of parasitic agents in the body, their species and localization.
Trematodes
Tremontods have a flat body.All types of trematode have a suction purse that is secured to the walls of the internal organs.Blood parasites feed
Useful materials and other secrets.In the human body, only adults parasitize.
Before man infection, he takes one intermediate stage of Trematod's life in the body of another owner: fish, animal, insect.The human body is most often entered with poorly treated foods.
Among the common species, trematodes are distinguished:
- Opistorch or cat bacon - the body of the worm is only 1-2 cm, the main localization: the pancreas wires, the gallbladder and the liver.A person causes diseases: stomach inflammation, ulcer, cholecystitis, pancreatitis.It is distributed from animals to humans.Due to localization at difficulty locations, it is difficult to diagnose parasite.
- Strongigiloid or intestine eats - small flat worm, long up to 2 mm.Set it in the digestive tract.After the infection, one person is obvious pathologies: anemia, asthma, bronchitis, astenia, infertility.
All types of trematode migrate easily throughout the body and can cause mechanical damage to a person's internal organs.
Cestods
Parasitic strip hormone, which is in a person's stomach tract.The length of the cestods reaches tens of meters.A person comes from an intermediate host - a large animal: cow, horse.The larvae fall into the human body of poorly baked animal meat that man eats to food.
It stands out among the most common types of striptease worm:
- Wide ribbon - lives in the thin section of the intestine.The length can reach 3-5 m.It causes diseases in humans: anemia, bowel obstruction, indigestion.
- Pork chain - a person is located in.Long, strip worm reaches 7-8 m.The patient manifests itself: esophagus obstruction, intoxication, cystiscose.
- The seagull is the largest of the human parasites.Long the worm can reach 18 m.Man has a bowel obstruction, irritability and allergies.
The larvae of each type of Cestoda can damage the internal organs and provoke the appearance of the tumor.
Sources of infection
The main type of handing over helminthiasis is the household.They stand out among the potential sources of the infection:
- Personal hygiene things: towel, toothbrush, comb, bedding,
- Dirty hands,
- WC -K in public places,
- Not satisfied with meat or fish,
- Waste vegetables, berries and fruits,
- Not taken out of a crane or open source code,
- Unprocessed animal.
Some types of parasite are sexually transmitted.This includes trichomoniasis.
To avoid infection, pay attention to personal hygiene and wash with soap several times a day.In the absence of water and soap, it is recommended to treat hands with antiseptic solution.
Vegetables and fruits are washed in water before meals.Apples, pears and other fruits used with the shell are recommended to rinse with a special tool or household soap.Animals in the house are treated every 6 months from helmink, using special medicines.Boil the water before drinking, comes from special bottles for a toddler.
Children are cut with nails once a week.The dirt under the nails is cleaned every day.It's easier to clean your nails with an old toothbrush or a special file.
Symptoms of helminthiasis
The clinic of damage to internal organs depends on the localization of parasites in the body.But there are general symptoms that are infected with any types of drugs.
Intoxic
By parasitizing the human body, Helmin leaves the products of his life.The patient gets intoxication that is shown by the following symptoms:
- Headache,
- Nausea,
- Weakness,
- A decrease in appetite,
- Nervousness.
Allergy
The allergic reaction is manifested in the initial stages of a rash, which is difficult to treat.After treatment, the rash disappears, but after a while it reassembles.In young children, diatistic rashes can be observed on the face, neck, groin and armpit.The skin rashes are explained by toxins, which are distinguished by the helmin.
In allergies or asthma, parasites can cause swelling of the mucous membrane, bronchi cramps, and asthma attacks.
Weight exchange
If you are infected with helmints, a person may lose weight.The loss of body weight is linked to the struggle for the nutrients consumed by the parasite.However, small parasitic agents can provoke weight gain.Once in the bloodstream, uniform blood circulation and body metabolism slow down.For a person, swelling is manifested by itself, weight increases.
Hypertermia
In the background of secondary pathologies, the temperature in a patient with helminthiasis rises to 37.5 degrees.Temperatures rise for no obvious reason and is accompanied by weakness, general malaise.A man experiences fatigue, he wants to sleep all the time.The symptom passes independently and unexpectedly as it appeared.
Disorders in the digestive system
Digestive disorders are associated with intoxication of the body and the development of parasites in the intestine. Symptoms are similar to dysbiosis and prescribe incorrect treatment for the patient.
Symptoms can be observed when the digestive system is violated:
- The stomach bloating,
- Unstable chair (diarrhea and constipation),
- Heartburn,
- Pain in the stomach.
Anemia
The parasite agent feeds food for the owner.A person does not receive the required number of vitamins and minerals.Blood is the blood.The patient experiences weakness and general malaise.The skin and mucosa are pale.Poor condition is accompanied by dizziness and frequent fainting.
When any of these symptoms appear, it is worthwhile to contact the professionals and the full test of the body for helmints.
Diagnosis of the disease
Before prescribing treatment, it is necessary to determine the type of parasite the body is infected and where the worm is localized.Most drugs have been developed to overcome a specific Helmin type.There are universal drugs, but have a lower efficiency and have more side effects.
The type of pathogen is determined by the following types of tests:
- Analysis of the stools of parasitic eggs,
- General blood test,
- Blood Immunferf test,
- Smear,
- Analysis of the Duodenum Secret,
- The stomach -intestine tract and the ultrasound of the liver,
- Tomography.
Tomography is prescribed if the rest of the research methods did not allow the entire image of the infection.
In addition to the negative result, some research methods are rewritten.The easiest way to presence the adult parasite in the human body.During the incubation period, analyzes show a negative result.
When diagnosed with a parasite, the doctor will prescribe proper treatment immediately.
Helminthosis therapy
Treatment of helminthiasis is multi -step and takes time from the patient.In the first stage, the body should be prepared and cleaned from the accumulated toxins.The patient is prescribed by sorbents.Cleaning the body of toxins takes at least five days.
In the second phase, antiparasitic agents are prescribed for the patient.It is better to select the medicine separately for a particular type of parasite.
Parasites are shooting in two courses.The first course kills adults of helmints in the human body.After 10-14 days, adult worms are replaced by new ones that get out of layered eggs.The second course will kill new persons.
The most important is recovery - the third stage of treatment.In the third stage, the digestive system, liver and immune systems are restored.The patient is prescribed for the course of unusual drugs.After taking sorbens, it is advisable to take medications that will help the digestive system.Medicines are food enzymes and help to absorb foods.The dose is selected separately, depending on the weight of the patient and secondary diseases.
Polyvitamines are added simultaneously.And drugs to maintain immunity.
Any therapy is performed under the supervision of a specialist.If the helminthiasis is caused by infection with saucers or strip parasites, the therapy is performed in the hospital.Removing parasites of some species requires surgical intervention.
Folk treatment methods
All anthelmintic drugs are toxic and contraindicated to pregnant women.You can pull out parasites with folk methods that have no side effects.
The plants have an anti -anthillus pronounced: tansy, worm, canvas, cloves, ginger.
Popular preparation on herbs is a triple herbal collection.The medicine is simply made at home: in equal parts (1 teaspoon) tansy, wormwood, 10 dc.Clove.The ingredients are used dryly.Everything is minced and mixed.1 teaspoon of the product is taken daily and washed with large amounts of water.
It is effective against me from the infusion of the worm and tansy.The enemas are performed within 10 days before going to bed.At the same time, 3 tablespoons get into the infusion.
Fresh ginger helps to empty the parasites.The root breaks and 1 teaspoon three times a day.To improve the taste of ginger, 1 teaspoon of honey and a few drops of lemon juice are added to the mixture.
Pumpkin helps to conduct parasites.The taste is pleasant, but I don't like helmin.In therapy, pumpkin oil, infusion of seeds and pumpkin pulp are used.
Homemade triple or threes are taken every six months as a preventive measure.
During the treatment, the patient insists on a certain diet: they are excluded from the diet: sugar, flour and yeast products, milk, butter.The main part of the menu consists of vegetables and dairy products.
Any type of parasite collides with the body and is aimed at treating secondary pathologies after expulsion of helmin.
Any treatment should be checked by a specialist who defines the Helmin type and selects effective treatment.
