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, roundworms, trichophytosis, and whipworms. Due to the abundance of parasite species, the symptoms with problems in humans are also different. For example, there are parasites that leave us hungry when we eat the food we have eaten, others cause anemia by feeding on blood cells, and still others, by laying eggs in the body, cause itching and insomnia. Because of this, the most important thing in treating parasites is finding out the root cause (the parasite) that is causing your body to be in trouble.
Signs of the presence of parasites in the body.
- the appearance of constipation or diarrhea, possibly other signs of poor bowel function;
- while traveling to other countries, you develop diarrhea;
- after food poisoning, your bowel function has changed;
- have trouble sleeping, get up often;
- there are spots on the skin that are not associated with allergies or other similar skin diseases;
- grinding your teeth while sleeping;
- there is pain in the joints and muscles;
- feeling tired, frequent depression and periodic bouts of apathy;
- after eating you feel hungry, there is no saturation of the body;
- there was iron deficiency anemia.
As we can see, the symptoms are completely different and people attribute some of them to another disease and they may not even think about parasites.
How to identify the parasite
First, pay attention to how you feel, what specifically causes anxiety. If you have intestinal problems, be it constipation or diarrhea, restless sleep, itchy skin, muscle pain, you should see your doctor. All difficulties with the body in the presence of parasites are associated with the release of toxins from them, which affects the normal functioning of the human body. And disturbed sleep and gnashing of teeth are a sign of anxiety, as the body talks about the problem. Stool analysis remains the primary method for detecting parasites. At the same time, a distinction is made between a standard and a detailed analysis, which is used in the medicine of functional disorders. Its main difference is in precision. Standard testing can only identify a parasite if it is alive and active. So if the pest died due to 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 any harmful microorganisms, although this will not be the case. On detailed analysis, there are no such problems as it uses the polymerase chain reaction method. The method allows you to identify the parasite in any of its conditions and does not depend 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, are surprised to meet unwanted "roommates", which subsequently allows them to solve the problem with their health.
Treatment methods
The doctor prescribes the necessary treatment method after receiving the test result. The course of prescription drugs depends on the type of parasite found in you, because what will destroy one pest will not affect the other at all. However, there are cases when it is not possible to identify a harmful microorganism, then the doctor prescribes a mixture of different herbs. Most often it is magnesia, tribulus extract, barberry and grapefruit extract, annual wormwood infusion, walnut extract and bear berry extract. All these ingredients are sold in pharmacies. The mixtures work by creating beneficial bacteria for the intestine, which is precisely what they fight against microorganisms that are harmful to us. If you have had liver disease or have abused alcohol, consult this point with your doctor, perhaps you should not use herbs, or you will have to reduce the frequency and number of doses. Remember, most parasites can be identified and removed. Pass the examination on time, follow all the instructions of the attending physician, and your health is guaranteed!
