Today, medicine has a significant number of drugs to combat parasites, both specific and broad-spectrum. How to understand the variety of drugs against helminths and choose the most appropriate? It is obvious that the choice of such drugs requires an individual approach, taking into account the characteristics of the organism, the course of helminthiasis and concomitant diseases. Doctor’s advice and basic medication information will help you make the right choice and buy the most acceptable parasite medications in your body.
Symptoms of parasitic invasion
Sometimes you can hear from people and such an opinion - why remove parasites if they are increasingly used in weight loss programs. But such programs have no scientific basis and are most often quacks.
There is no organism in nature that would benefit from the parasitic activity of worms within it. Sooner or later this activity leads to the destruction of internal organs and the death of the organism itself, which the parasite feeds on. Therefore, our natural aversion to any parasites in the human body fully reflects the true state of affairs - they are harmful and dangerous to us.
How do helminthiases manifest? The specific symptomatology depends on the type of parasite that has settled in the body, but there are also common symptoms characteristic of most helminthiasis:
- Anemia- most worms localized in the intestines lead to a violation of the composition of the blood, especially to iron deficiency and other types of anemia.
- Bile duct stagnation(cholestasis), constipation is also often the result of worsening peristalsis and bile duct obstruction caused by parasitic invasion.
- CFS- a condition called chronic fatigue syndrome, accompanied by emotional instability, loss of concentration, memory impairment, jumps in body temperature and constant general weakness, can also be a signal to cleanse the body of parasites.
- Irritability, sleep disorderswith frequent nocturnal awakenings are caused by the body's attempts to get rid of parasites and worms.
- Weight fluctuations(both up and down) can be explained by indigestion, low blood sugar, causing hunger and forcing a person to carry and gain weight, or vice versa, to lose weight -due to the presence of an “internal consumer”. This fact reveals the myth about the benefits that can supposedly be obtained from worms in humans.
- Skin problemscan be caused by the toxic effects of opisthorchus, fungi, lamblia and other protozoan parasites. They are most often expressed by urticaria, atopic dermatitis, eczema.
- Allergic reactionscauses indigestion, which leads to activation of the body's immune response, increased levels of eosinophils in the blood.
- Epigastric discomfort and disturbed stool(diarrhea) are often clear signs of the presence of worms in the body.
- Joint and muscle paincan occur as a result of the migration of parasites in the body in search of a more favorable environment for them.
One of the signs of helminthiasis characteristic of children is mental retardation and inhibition of speech abilities.
If you notice a few of these signs in yourself or your loved ones, you should see a doctor and get tested.
