Helminthosis is the most common disease on the planet.Parasites live even before we exist and easily adapt to any climate change.
Some parasites in the human body are adjacent to all of us and does not cause great health problems.But most species destroy the host body and cause various diseases.
The danger of helminths for humans
The agents of parasites multiply and live in the host body, causing significant changes in the body.This leads to the development of recurrent chronic diseases.
The localization of parasites may be in any part of the human body, but more often, the helminths settle in the organs:
- Gastrointestinal
- In the joints,
- In muscles,
- In the liver and kidneys,
- In the organs of vision,
- In the lungs,
- Blood system.
Most types of helminths like to live in the intestine, but with an acute invasion, parasites are forced to migration.Moving around the body, parasites paralyzed organs found on their way.Migration can stimulate improper treatment with folk methods.
The family method is based on eating bitter herbs and substances that do not have the flavor of worms.The simplest sent from the intestines to find a more suitable environment for their lives.
A patient's body is prone to various diseases, the immune system loses its function. An infected person is more likely to suffer from viral and infectious diseases.
The human body responds deeply with the rest of the important activity of the parasite.The victims have symptoms of poisoning, a more severe allergic reaction.The processes that occur in the body after infection are not a fleeting nature, and a person may not notice a parasitic agent for many years.
Types of helminths
The parasite causes one person, health problems are divided into three groups:
- The simplest parasite or primary animal.This group includes Todoplasmosis, Giardia, Trichomonade.The protozoa immigrants inside the human cells and, multiplying, destroying it.Methods of transmitting households and sex.
- Helminths - worms or larvae settle inside the human body.Among the most prominent points: Bull tapeworm, battery worm, toxocars, Ascarides, pinworms.Transmission method: Households, through insects, animals or dirty soil.
- Ectoparaites - Living outside the human body: ticks, lice, lichens.The main source of nutrition is human blood.The wound appears on the skin, biting itching and pain.The danger in the various infections that they spread: typhoid, encephalitis.
Difficult to treat and diagnosis is helminth infection.It is important to recognize the signs of parasites in your body and know their main types.
Nematode
Another way, nematodes are called round worms.He has the name because of the shape of the body.There are more than 45 types of nematodes inside a person.Parasites easily go through personal hygiene and vegetables or fruits.The size of a round worm, depending on the breed, starts a few millimeters and ends with tens of cm.
Among the most common the most popular roundworms:
- Tips - The main place of a person's living environment, the length of the child is up to 1 cm.When infected, a person manifests symptoms: violating the digestive tract, exhaustion, anemia, sleep disorders.
- Askarides - The length of the baby is 30 cm, it can move and settle in many different parts of the body.When infected, a person manifests symptoms: allergic reactions, anemia, asthma, and dermatitis.When in the eyes or liver, ascarides can lead to serious diseases.
- Trichinella is a worm size of only 2-3 mm, the main environment is intestines.When infected, it causes the following complications in one person: swelling, allergic reactions, gastrointestinal violations, fever.
- Vlashev - Living in the digestive tract, the size of an adult individual is up to 4.5 cm.In one person, parasites cause: anemia, weak, body poisoning.
The severity of the disease is related to the number of parasitic agents in the body, species and their localization.
Trematodes
Tremontodes has a flat body.All types of roundworms have suction cups that are fixed to the walls of internal organs.Eat blood parasites
Useful substances and other secrets.In the human body, only adults parasites.
Before being infected with one person, Trematod overcame an intermediary of his life in the body of another owner: in fish, animals, insects.The human body often comes in with poorly treated food.
Among the common species, Trematodes is distinguished:
- Opistorch or bacon - the body of the worm is only 1-2 cm in length, the main localization: pancreas, bile bladder and liver.One person causes disease: gastritis, ulcers, cholecystitis, pancreatitis.Transmitted from animals to people.Due to localization in difficult places, parasites are difficult to diagnose.
- Strongigiloid or intestinal eating - small flat worms, up to 2 mm long.Placed in the digestive tract.After infection, a person who manifests the pathology: anemia, asthma, bronchitis, Hennenia, infertility.
All trembling types easily move throughout the body, causing mechanical damage to a person's internal organs.
Cestodes
The parasitic strip of the worm, settling down in a person's digestive tract.The length of the Cestodes reaches a few dozen meters.A person comes from an intermediary host - a big animal: a cow, a horse.The larvae fall into the human body from poor fried animal meat, a person who eats food.
Among the most common types of worms:
- Broadband - Living in the thin part of the intestine.The length can reach 3-5 m.In humans, causing disease: anemia, intestinal obstruction, digestive disorders.
- Pork chain - settle in a person's intestines.In the length, the strip is 7-8 m.Patients manifest: esophageal obstruction, toxicity, cystiscose.
- Gull Taper is the largest human parasite.In the length, the worm can reach 18 m.A person with intestinal obstruction, stimulation, allergies.
The larvae of all types of cestoda can damage internal organs and stimulate the appearance of a tumor.
Infection source
The main type of helminth is a household.Among the sources of infection possible, they stand out:
- Personal hygiene: towels, toothbrushes, combs, beds, beds
- The dirty hand,
- Toilets in public places,
- Meat or fish are processed incomplete,
- Vegetables, berries and fruits,
- Water has not been successful from cranes or open sources,
- Unprocessed animals.
Some parasites are transmitted through sex.They include Trichomonia disease.
To prevent infections, it is necessary to observe personal hygiene and wash your hands with soap several times a day.In the absence of water and soap, the hand should be treated with disinfectant solution.
Vegetables and fruits before eating are washed in water.Apples, pears and other fruits are used with skin, should be washed with a special tool or household soap.Animals in the house every 6 months are treated from helminths by using special drugs.Boil water before drinking, a child is specially supplied from the bottle.
Once a week, children are trimmed.The dirt under the nail is cleaned every day.It is easier to clean your nails with an old toothbrush or a special file.
Symptoms of helminths
The clinic damages to different organs depending on the localization of parasites in the body.But there are common symptoms that appear when infected with any type of agent.
Poisoning
By parasitic in the human body, Helmint left the products of its life.Patients with poisoning, manifested by the following symptoms:
- Headache,
- Nausea,
- Weaknesses,
- Reduce cravings,
- Worry.
Allergy
A allergic reaction manifests itself in the initial stage in the form of a skin rash, which is difficult to treat.After treatment, the rash disappeared, but after a certain period of time, it showed again.In young children, Diathesic rash is observed on cheeks, neck, groin and armpits.The skin rash is explained by toxins that helminths distinguish.
In allergies or asthma, parasites can cause mucosal swelling, bronchospasm, asthma.
Change weight
When infected with helminths, a person may lose weight.Losing body weight related to the struggle for nutrients consumed by parasites.But small parasitic agents can cause weight gain.When in the blood, the unicellular breaks blood circulation and the metabolism in the body slowed down.In one person, swelling manifest, the weight is increasing.
Increase body temperature
In the context of secondary diseases in a patient with helminths, the temperature increases to 37.5 degrees periodically.The temperature increases without a clear reason and accompanied by weakness and instability in general.A person who experienced fatigue, he wanted to sleep anytime.Symptoms passing independently, also surprised when it appears.
Disorders in the digestive tract
Gastrointestinal disorders are associated with the body's poisoning and the development of parasites in the intestine. Symptoms are like dysfunction, and inaccurate treatment for patients.
In case of violation of the digestive tract, the symptoms are observed:
- The bloating of the stomach,
- Unstable chair (diarrhea and constipation),
- Heartburn,
- Pain in the stomach.
Anemia
A parasitic agent eat nutrients for the owner.A person does not receive the amount of vitamins and minerals needed.The indicators of iron in the blood fall.Patients undergo weakness and instability in general.Pale skin and mucous membranes.Poor condition comes with dizziness and fainting often.
When any of these symptoms appear, it is worth contacting with experts and undergoing a complete test of the body for helminths.
Diagnosis
Before prescribing treatment, it is necessary to determine which parasite is infected and the deep place is located.Most drugs are developed 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 pathogens is determined by the following types of tests:
- Analysis of parasitic eggs,
- General blood test,
- Blood immunity test,
- Sneaking,
- Secret analysis of duodenum,
- Ultrasound of the gastrointestinal tract and liver,
- Class cutting.
The layered taboo is specified if the rest of the research methods cannot offer a complete picture of infection.
With a negative result, some research methods are regulated again.The easiest way to determine the presence of an adult parasite in the human body.During the incubation period, the analysis showed negative results.
When diagnosing parasites, the doctor will immediately prescribe appropriate treatment.
Worm treatment therapy
Treatment of helminths is many times and will take time from patients.In the first stage, the body should be prepared and cleansed accumulated toxins.The patient is absorbed.Clean the body of toxins that lasts at least five days.
In the second stage, anti -cancer agents are prescribed for patients.It is better if the drug is selected for a certain type of parasite.
The period of parasitic shooting is made in two courses.The first course will kill the adults of helminths in the human body.After 10-14 days, adult worms will be replaced with new ones will hatch from multi-layer eggs.The second course will kill new individuals.
The most important is recovery - the third stage of treatment.In the third stage, the digestive system, liver and immune system are restored.The patient is prescribed a sorbing process.After absorbing agents, the medication should be used in the gastrointestinal tract.Drugs are food enzymes and help absorb food.The dosage is selected individually depending on the weight of the patient and secondary diseases.
Polyvitamine is added at the same time.As well as drugs to maintain immunity.
Any therapy is performed under the supervision of an expert.If helminths are caused by an infection of disc or parasites, then the therapy is performed in the hospital.Eliminate parasites of some species that require surgical intervention.
