According to statistics, one of the most common ailments is helminthosis caused by the presence of a parasite in the human body.There are more than 250 types of these harmful creatures.Our body cannot cope with pests on its own, and thanks to this, uninvited guests can parasitize for many years.
It is important to identify the symptoms in time and diagnose the presence of helminth so that serious damage is not caused to your health.
Consider the most common types of parasites, as well as how to detect their presence at home.
Pinworm
When infected, it is observed: itching of the anus, creak with teeth in a dream, poor appetite and rapid fatigue.In general, pinworms do not pose a serious danger to human health.
But it should be borne in mind that females of pinworms can migrate from the large intestine to the gallstock or to the liver, causing their inflammation.The unpleasant fact for the female sex is the migration of females of pinworms in the vaginal, uterus, phallopium pipes, urinary tract and kidneys, causing strong burning and unpleasant discharge.
Pinworm is the worm of a small or large intestine, which is often diagnosed in children.
Transfer to a person occurs through dirty hands, toys, as well as through linen and dishes.Treatment is prescribed to all family members, regardless of the symptoms of the disease.In order to prevent prevention, wash your hands with soap, wash off dirt under the nails and often change underwear.
Toxocara
Symptoms of invasion are different depending on the location of the TOXOCARA.A low temperature is fixed, with a serious course of the disease up to 39 ° C and above, sometimes with chills.Rashes, itching, sometimes edema of Quincke appear on the skin.In acute the course of the disease, bronchitis, pneumonia and attacks of suffocation are observed.When moving the larvae into the brain, migraines, cramps and paralysis are observed.In children, the disease is accompanied by such symptoms as weakness, slight excitability and sleep disturbance.
Larvae can live in tissues, liver, lungs, kidneys, muscles, thyroid gland and brain.Invasia can lead to damage to organs and tissues, inflammatory processes, and even one -sided blindness.Their natural owners - cats and dogs, come to a person mistakenly by contacting with soil or sand, on which the animal allocated TOXOCARA eggs.
Depending on the course of the disease, both anti -inflammatory and anthelmintic drugs can be prescribed.
In order not to become infected, try to use gloves and wash your hands when working with the ground.It is necessary to carefully clean fruits and vegetables before use.If possible, prohibit dog walking in playgrounds, as well as regularly derive helminths from pets.
Askarida
Observed symptoms: gastrointestinal disorders, allergic reactions, fever, general malaise and weight loss.
Human roundworm can enter the mucous membrane of the large intestine, capillaries, liver, brain, eyes and lungs.As the consequences of Ascaris invasion, frequent disorders in the digestive tract, bronchial asthma, purulent processes, intestinal obstruction, cholecystitis, acute appendicitis, pancreatitis and mechanical jaundice can be distinguished.Like many other parasitic diseases, ascaride eggs enter the body with non -compliance with hygiene rules, the use of unwashed vegetables, fruits, berries and water consumption from an unfamiliar source.
Treatment should be accompanied by strict observance of a special diet and taking anti-parasitic drugs.In addition, enzymatic, antihistamines and probiotics are simultaneously prescribed.
The main preventive measures are strict adherence to personal hygiene rules: washing hands before eating food, after visiting the toilet and street, thorough washing of berries, vegetables and fruits.
Ankylostoma
Penetrates into the human body both through the mouth and through the skin.The main signs of the parasite hit are a rash on the lower extremities and burning of the skin.When localization in the internal organs, symptoms similar to Ascaris are observed.
The resulting larvae in the venous vessels spread to the internal organs: in the lungs, heart and liver.
In all organs where there was an ankylostoma, certain damage remains.Starting from the formation of intestinal ulcer and ending with plaques of cholesterol in blood vessels.
To pick up the helminth, for example, take a walk barefoot or consume unwashed vegetables and fruits.To avoid acquaintance with the parasite, follow the rules of sanitation and personal hygiene.
The tape is wide
The first signs of helminthiasis can appear after 20-60 days: nausea, vomiting, discomfort, severe pain in the abdominal cavity, violation of stool and appetite.The location is a small intestine.With their life, they contribute to the manifestation of anemia and disorders in the work of the nervous system.They can cause intestinal obstruction.You can get infected if you eat poorly processed or raw fish.
To destroy the worm, medicines and various folk remedies are used.It is necessary to carry out thorough heat treatment of fish and observe personal hygiene (washing hands, the use of pure dishes).
Bull and pork
The presence of worms can cause various symptoms.Most often, the infected feels the movement of the tapeworm in the area of the anus.There are abdominal pains resembling an attack of appendicitis, as well as nausea and vomiting, a sense of weakness, an increase or loss of appetite, stool disorders, dizziness and headaches.
Helminths are attached to the mucous membrane more than a 12-pimple intestine.The pathogenic effect on a person consists in impaired secretory and motor functions of the gastrointestinal tract, intestinal obstruction or inflammation, an allergic reaction.They enter the human body along with raw meat or meat products that have not passed sufficient heat treatment.
At the discretion, phytopreparations based on pumpkin seeds and rhizomes of a male fern are also used.An obvious means of prevention is the use of meat, which has passed veterinary control and is carefully processed thermally.
Lamblia
The main symptoms of lambliosis:
- Pain in the abdomen;
- Liver enlargement;
- Violation of the chair;
- Weight loss and appetite;
- Dysbiosis.
Lambia live in the intestines, most often in children.Lambiosis can cause damage to the small and sometimes large intestine.The disease can cause allergic reactions and the development of appendicitis.
They are transmitted to a person along with unwashed food, water, due to non-compliance with simple hygiene rules.
The course of treatment consists of 3 stages.At the first stage, it is necessary to limit the consumption of carbohydrates, take enzymes, enterosorbents and antihistamines.In the II stage, antiparasitic agents are added to the existing treatment.At the third stage, it is necessary to observe a strict diet that improves the body's resistance and the reduction of the large intestine.
The use of probiotics is useful.There is no special prevention from Giardiase.There are general rules that prevent any intestinal disease: taking pure, boiled water;thoroughly washed berries, vegetables and fruits;Refusal of food on the street.
Alveokokk
Signs of invasion are not immediately manifested.Gradually, the first symptoms of impaired liver function are felt: aching pain in the right side, a sense of severity, loss of appetite, stool disorder.Parasitizes alveococcus in the liver.You should know about the serious consequences of the disease and the complexity of drug treatment.ALVEOCOCOSSIS is dangerous to form cysts in the liver and the ability to spread certain metastases with a tendency to a chronic course, high mortality.Sources: sick animals, water, berries or vegetables with earth.
In the case of the patient’s timely circulation, surgical treatment is carried out, after surgery and in the absence of the possibility of surgical treatment, drugs are prescribed.The observance of hygiene rules, the lack of close contact with dogs, and eating carefully washed vegetables, herbs and berries will help to protect yourself from infection.
This is not a complete list of parasites that affect the human body.Since helminthosis is a very common phenomenon, it is important to take the necessary tests in time and begin treatment.After all, the life of some types of helminths can significantly worsen human health.
