People consume food products to replenish energy reserves spent in the process of active living. But you can imagine that a person often becomes an excellent target for the simplest living organisms. Uninvited "tenants" can use the owner for a long time as a living vessel, providing food, housing and comfortable conditions. If the parasites have settled in the human body, the symptoms of infection can easily be confused with signs of certain diseases such as colds, gastritis, pneumonia, etc.
The most common symptoms of parasitosis
Parasitic life forms exist and develop at the expense of a person, while irreparable damage is done to his health, because most of the nutrients and vitamins go to the "occupier" who modestly hides in one of Organs internal organs: intestines, lungs , heart, liver, joints, etc. etc. The destructive effect depends on the length of stay and the migrant's "appetite"; Parasitosis is believed to be the root cause of diseases such as diabetes mellitus, pancreatitis, bronchial asthma, cholecystitis and atopic dermatitis.
Symptoms of the presence of parasites in the human body:
- gastrointestinal tract disorders (constipation, flatulence, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, pain located in the stomach);
- endocrine system disorders (weight fluctuations, underweight or overweight, hormonal imbalance);
- dental diseases (stomatitis, periodontal disease);
- problems associated with the work of the musculoskeletal system (pain in the joints, muscles - arthrosis, arthritis);
- neurological disorders (irritability, insomnia, anxiety without cause, depression);
- allergic reactions and related skin problems (increased levels of eosinophils, immunoglobulin E, allergic rhinitis, eczema, hives, papillomas, dermatitis);
- respiratory diseases (bronchial asthma, pneumonia);
- violation of hematopoiesis, decreased vascular permeability, anemia (critical decrease in hemoglobin);
- chronic fatigue and decreased immunity (frequent mild ARVI, tonsillitis, apathy, low blood pressure, weakness and poor memory);
- oncological diseases;
- cosmetic problems (cracked heels, dry skin, brittle nails, faded hair, seborrhea, baldness);
- gynecological and urological diseases (in women: menstrual irregularities, discharge, vaginal candidiasis, fibroids, mastopathy; and in men: prostatitis, urolithiasis);
- bruxism (grinding teeth), snoring.
Even knowing the signs of the presence of parasites in the human body, it is difficult to diagnose parasitosis without a thorough examination (three times scraping and blood test). Symptoms of parasitic invasion are a consequence of vigorous "guest" activity, when a person suffers from intoxication with helminth residues, chronic irritation of Organs affected organs, and the immune system is no longer able to cope with the disease itself.
Features of the course of parasitosis in children
Children, unlike adults, are more likely to encounter parasite infestations in everyday life. Infection usually occurs while walking (after contact with sand or soil), as a result of close contact with sick animals or swimming in an open body of water. Usually, signs of parasites in children are difficult to determine, primary infection and helminth colonization occur inconspicuously. Gradually, the amount of toxins in the blood increases, the child's body is poisoned with the waste products of the helminth, which manifests itself in the form of decreased immunity and permanent diseases, allergies of unknown etiology, dysbiosis and physical exhaustion.
The following indirect symptoms of parasites in children can be distinguished:
- lack of appetite or, conversely, gluttony, passion for sweets;
- regular headaches accompanied by nausea;
- rapid emerging fatigue;
- lack of daily bowel movements (constipation);
- vomiting, belching, bad breath;
- pallor of the skin, "blue" under the eyes;
- irritability, aggressiveness, whims;
- hyperactivity, especially at night;
- poor (intermittent) night sleep, associated with restlessness, moaning, bruxism;
- irritation or redness in the genital area.
Symptoms of protozoan parasite infection should be used as a "beacon" for a thorough examination. A timely and professional diagnosis allows you to completely cure the parasitic infestation with minimal harm to the health of the body.
