Helminthosis is the most common disease on the planet.The parasites lived even before our existence and easily adapted to any climate change.
Some parasites in the human body are adjacent to us all their lives and cause no major health problems.But most species destroy the host's body and cause various pathologies.
The danger of helminthiasis for humans
Parasitic agents multiply and live in the host's body, causing significant changes in the body.This leads to the development of chronic diseases that are constantly repeating.
The location of parasites can be anywhere in the human body, but more often the helminths settle in organs:
- Gastrointestinal
- In the joints,
- In the muscles,
- In the liver and the kidneys,
- In the organs of the vision,
- In the lungs,
- Blood system.
Most types of helminths prefer to live in the gut, but with acute invasion, parasites are forced to migrate.Moving around the body, the parasites damage the organs found in their way.Migration can cause inappropriate treatment to folkloric methods.
Household methods are based on eating herbs and bitter substances that are not in the taste of worms.The simplest is sent from the gut in search of a better environment for your life.
The body of a sick person is more susceptible to various diseases, the immune system loses its functionality. It is more likely that an infected person suffers from viral and infectious diseases.
The human body reacts sharply to the remains of the vital activity of the parasites.The victim has symptoms of intoxication, an allergic reaction is exacerbated.The processes that occur in the body after infection are not a fleeting nature, and a person cannot notice a parasitic agent for years.
HELMINTS TYPES
Parasites that cause a person's health problems are divided into three groups:
- The simplest or protozoan parasites.This group includes toxoplasmosis, giardia, trichomonade.Protozoans are established within human cells and, multiplying them.The method of transmitting family and sexual.
- Helminths - worms or larvae that are established within the human body.Among the most common stand out: Bulls, worms, toxocaras, ascarides, worms.Transmission Methods: Family, through insects, animals or dirty land.
- Ectoparasites - Live outside the human body: ticks, lice, lichen.The main source of nutrition is human blood.The wounds appear on the skin, bites itching and hurt.The danger in various infections they spread: typhoid, encephalitis.
The most difficult to treat and diagnosis is helminth infection.It is important to recognize the signs of parasites on your body and know their main types.
Nematodes
Otherwise, nematodes are called round worms.He named his name because of the shape of the body.There are more than 45 varieties of nematodes within a person.The parasite spreads easily through personal and plant hygiene items or non -washed fruits.The size of a round worm, depending on the variety, begins in several millimeters and ends with tens of centimeters.
Among the most common round worms stand out:
- Tips - Habitat's main location - a person's gut, the length of the worm up to 1 cm.When infected, a person manifests symptoms: violation of gastrointestinal tract, exhaustion, anemia, sleep disorder.
- Askarides - The length of the worm reaches 30 cm, is able to migrate and settle in various parts of the body.When infected, a person manifests symptoms: an allergic reaction, anemia, asthma and dermatitis are exacerbated.Once in the eyes or liver, ascarides can lead to serious illness.
- Trichinella is a 2-3 mm worm size, the main habitat is the intestine.When infected, it causes the following complications in one person: swelling, an allergic reaction, violation of digestive tract, fever.
- Vlashev - Lives in the gastrointestinal tract, the size of an adult individual up to 4.5 cm.In one person, the parasite causes: anemia, weakness, body poisoning.
The severity of the disease is associated with the number of parasitic agents in the body, its species and location.
Trematos
Tremontods have a flat body.All types of trembling have suction cups with which they are fixed on the walls of the internal organs.Blood parasites feed
useful substances and other secrets.In the human body, only adults parasitize.
Prior to a person's infection, the trematode passes into an intermediate stage of his life in the body of another owner: in fish, animals, insects.The human body comes more often along with poorly treated foods.
Among the common species, trematodes are distinguished:
- OPISTORCH OR FELINE BACON - The body of the worm has a length of only 1-2 cm, the main location: the pancreas ducts, the gallbladder and the liver.A person causes disease: gastritis, ulcer, cholecystitis, pancreatitis.Transmitted from animals to humans.Due to location in hard -to -reach places, the parasite is difficult to diagnose.
- Strongiguloid or intestinal food - small flat worm, long up to 2 mm.Joint in the digestive tract.After infection, a person manifests pathologies: anemia, asthma, bronchitis, astenia, infertility.
All types of trematodes migrate easily throughout the body, cause mechanical damage to a person's internal organs.
Cestodes
The parasite track worm, which is established in a person's gastrointestinal tract.The cestod length reaches several dozen meters.One person receives from an intermediate host - a large animal: a cow, a horse.The larvae fall into the human body of poorly fried animal meat, which a person eats for food.
Among the most common types of track worm stand out:
- Large Ribbon - Lives in the thin section of the intestine.In length can reach 3-5 m.In humans, it causes diseases: anemia, intestinal obstruction, digestive disorders.
- Pork chain - settles in a person's gut.In length, the strap worm reaches 7-8 m.The patient manifests himself: esophageal obstruction, intoxication, cistiscosis.
- The seagull is the largest of human parasites.In length, the worm can reach 18 m.One person has intestinal obstruction, excitability, allergies.
The larvae of all types of Cestoda are capable of damaging the internal organs and causing the appearance of a tumor.
Sources of infection
The main type of transmission of helminthiasis is the family.Among the possible sources of infection, they stand out:
- Personal Hygiene things: towel, toothbrush, comb, bed,
- Dirty hands,
- Bathrooms in public places,
- Meat or fish processed insufficiently,
- Uninsy vegetables, fruits and fruits,

Some types of parasites are sexually transmitted.These include trichomoniasis.
To avoid infection, it is necessary to observe personal hygiene and wash your hands with soap several times a day.In the absence of soap and water, it is recommended to treat the hands with an anti -side solution.
Vegetables and fruits before meals were washed in running water.Apples, pears and other fruits used with the shell, it is recommended to rinse with a special tool or domestic soap.House animals every 6 months are treated from helminths using special medications.Boil water before drinking, a small child receives a special bottle.
Once a week, children are cut with nails.The dirt under the nails is clean every day.It is easier to clean the nails with an old toothbrush or a special file.
Helminthiasis symptoms
The damage clinic to internal organs differs depending on the location of parasites in the body.But there are general symptoms that appear when infected with any type of agent.
Intoxication
Parasitizing in the human body, Helmint leaves the products of his life.The patient receives poisoning, which manifests the following symptoms:
- Headache,
- Nausea,
- Weakness,
- A decrease in appetite,
- Nervousness.
Allergy
An allergic reaction manifests itself in the early stage in the form of a rash, which is difficult to treat.After treatment, the rash disappears, but after a while manifests itself again.In young children, diastasic rashes are observed on cheeks, neck, groin and armpits.Skin rashes are explained by toxins that helminths distinguish.
In allergies or asmatics, parasites can cause mucosal swelling, bronchos spasms, asthma attacks.
Weight change
When infected with helminths, a person may lose weight.Body weight loss is associated with the struggle for the nutrients that the parasite consumes.But small parasitic agents can cause weight gain.Once in the bloodstream, unicellular blood circulation and body metabolism decreases.In one person the swelling manifests itself, the weight is growing.
Hyperthermia
In the context of secondary pathologies in a patient with helminthiasis, the temperature rises to 37.5 degrees periodically.The temperature increases for no apparent reason and is accompanied by weakness, badly -overall.A person experiences fatigue, he wants to sleep all the time.The symptom is independent, also unexpectedly, as it seemed.
Digestive tract disorders
Digestive disorders are associated with body poisoning and the development of parasites in the gut. Symptoms resemble dysbiosis and incorrect treatment is prescribed to the patient.
In case of violation of the digestive tract, symptoms are observed:
- Swelling of the stomach,
- Unstable chair (diarrhea and constipation),
- Heartburn,
- Stomach pain.
Anemia
A parasitic agent feeds on nutrients for the owner.One person does not receive the necessary number of vitamins and minerals.The iron indicator in the blood drops.The patient experiences weakness, badly -overall.The skin and mucous membrane are pale.The bad condition is accompanied by dizziness and frequent fainting.
When any of these symptoms appear, it is worth contacting experts and going through a complete body examination for helminths.
Disease diagnosis
Before prescribing treatment, it is necessary to determine what type of parasite the body is infected and where the worm is located.Most medicines are designed to combat a specific type of helminth.There are universal drugs, but their effectiveness is lower and they have more side effects.
The type of pathogen is determined by the following types of tests:
- Analysis of feces for parasitic eggs,
- General blood test,
- Blood immunofment test,
- Spot,
- Analysis of the secret of the duodenum,
- Tract ultrasound and gastrointestinal liver,
- Tomography.
Tomography is prescribed if the rest of the research methods will not allow a complete image of the infection.
With a negative result, some research methods are prescribed again.The easiest way to determine the presence of an adult parasite in the human body.During the incubation period, the analyzes show a negative result.
By diagnosing the parasite, the doctor will immediately prescribe proper treatment.
Helminthose Therapy
The treatment of helminthiasis is multi -stages and will take the patient's time.In the first stage, the body should be prepared and clean from accumulated toxins.The patient receives prescribed ice cream.Cleaning of the toxin body lasts at least five days.
In the second stage, antiparasitic agents are prescribed for the patient.It is better if the medicine is selected individually for a certain type of parasite.
The parasites firing stage is held in two courses.The first course will kill adults of helminths in the human body.After 10 to 14 days, adult worms will be replaced by new ones that eclodes from the eggs in layers.The second course will kill new individuals.
The most important is restoration - the third stage of treatment.In the third stage, the digestive tract, the liver and the immune system is restored.The patient receives a party drug course.After sipping, it is recommended to take medications that help in the digestive tract.Medicines are eating enzymes and help absorb food.The dose is selected individually, depending on the weight of the patient and secondary diseases.
Politicians are added at the same time.As well as medicines to maintain immunity.
Any therapy is performed under the supervision of a specialist.If helminthiasis is caused by records or tape parasites, therapy will be performed at the hospital.The removal of parasites from some species requires surgical intervention.
Folklore methods of treatment
