Parasites in the body exist at the expense of trace elements and food in our intestines. There are many types of them. The most common are tapeworms, tapeworms, trichophytosis and trichocephalus. Of the many species of parasites, the symptoms with problems in humans are also different. For example, there are parasites that make us hungry by eating the food we have eaten, others cause anemia by eating blood cells, and others, lay eggs in the body, causing itching and insomnia. Therefore, the most important thing in the treatment of parasites is to know the cause (parasite) that is causing your body problems.
Signs of the presence of parasites in the body
- appearance of constipation or diarrhea, possibly other signs of improper bowel function;
- while traveling in another country, you experience diarrhea;
- after food poisoning, your intestinal function has changed;
- you have trouble sleeping, often waking up;
- there are spots on the skin that are not associated with allergies or other similar skin diseases;
- brush your teeth during sleep;
- there is aching pain in the joints and muscles;
- feeling tired, frequent depression and periodic attacks of apathy;
- after eating you feel hungry, there is no satiety of the body;
- there is anemia due to iron deficiency.
As we can see, the symptoms are completely different, and some of them are associated by people with other diseases and may not think of parasites.
How to identify parasites
First, pay attention to your feelings, what is specifically causing the anxiety. If you have intestinal problems, whether constipation or diarrhea, insomnia, itchy skin, muscle aches, you should see your doctor. All difficulties with the body in the presence of parasites are associated with the release of toxins by them, which affects the normal functioning of the human body. And sleep disturbances and crooked teeth are signs of concern, as the body talks about the problem. Fecal analysis remains the primary method for detecting parasites. At the same time, a distinction is made between standard and detailed analysis, which is used in the medicine of functional disorders. Their main difference is in accuracy. Standard analysis can only identify a parasite if it is alive and active. Then, if the pest dies because of the end of its life cycle, or is in hibernation, the standard method will not work. The result will be negative, and you will be sure that you do not have harmful microorganisms, although this will not happen. In the detailed analysis, there is no such problem, as it uses the polymerase chain reaction method. This method allows you to identify the parasite in any of its conditions and does not rely on the ability of the laboratory assistant to see the pest through a microscope. Thanks to this approach, patients who received a negative standard analysis, after PCR, were shocked to learn about an unwanted "roommate, " which then allowed them to solve problems with their health.
Methods of treatment
The required method of treatment is prescribed by the doctor after receiving the test results. The course of medications prescribed depends on the type of parasite you have, because what will destroy one pest will not affect the other at all. However, there are cases where it is impossible to identify harmful microorganisms, so the doctor prescribes a mixture of different herbs. Often it is magnesia, tribulus extract, extract from barberry and grapefruit, annual wormwood infusion, walnut extract and bear berry extract. All these ingredients are sold in pharmacies. The mixture works by creating bacteria that are beneficial to the gut, which actually fight microorganisms that are harmful to us. If you have liver disease, or you have abused alcohol, check this with your doctor, you may not be able to use herbs, or you may need to reduce the frequency and number of doses. Remember, most parasites can be identified and eliminated. Pass the exam on time, follow all the instructions of the attending physician, and your health is guaranteed!
