In the body, in addition to the spiritual essence, there are a number of other life forms that do not always lead to human life. It is customary to be shy when it comes to the unsavory life forms that are right next to us. There are parasites that poison our body, live in it and multiply.
And any person has a problem: how to treat one of the most common diseases, how to cure worms?
This is the question that worries everyone, and we will try to answer it.
To understand what it is, you need to determine how worms are produced and how to treat them:
- enter the human body because it is infected by lower multicellular organisms, parasitic worms, through the external environment;
- parasites, or helminths, are found in insects, fungi, and plants, as well as in vertebrates;
- helminths are found in 60% of the population, but this is not the worst, because in people of Asian origin, laboratory diagnostic doctors find 100% infection with various forms of helminths.
The products of its vital activity in humans cause all kinds of ailments. Getting rid of these symptoms is our direct task, because worms in an adult suppress vital activity and even reduce motor activity.
From worms there are all kinds of side effects in an adult. How to get rid of this scourge and how to treat worms, let's try to understand from the recommendations of experts.
disease symptoms
From the very beginning, you need to make sure that a person has worms by external signs. To do this, it is necessary to know the symptoms of the infection, which are the following:
- skin acne;
- nausea;
- weight and its changes with increased appetite;
- unstable chair;
- bad breath, increased gas and belching;
- headaches and irritability;
- atypical smell of feces and urine;
- Swelling of the lymph nodes;
- asthma attacks and cough;
- weakness and fatigue;
- excretion of parts of helminths in feces;
- itching in the anus
These symptoms should alert anyone and make them think about consulting a professional. Only a specialist in the field of diagnosis of such diseases will be able to answer the question of what is the treatment for a particular parasitic infection in adults.
Types of parasites in humans.
To know how to treat, it is important to understand what type of adult parasite we are dealing with. There are a number of varieties of helminthic invasions, differing both in symptoms and in their effects on the human body.
There are the following types of parasites:
- pinworms, itchy anus, is a sign of infection with small roundworms;
- trichinella, enters the muscle mass through the vessels and causes swelling and pain;
- whipworm, a source of problems with the gastrointestinal tract;
- tapeworms, various types of tapeworms of great length;
- roundworms, long enough, roundworms that cause problems with the airways and bile ducts.
All types of these invasions are associated with the use of insufficiently thermally processed foods and non-compliance with hygiene regulations. The presence of pets also often leads to parasite infestation.
The attending physician, who discovered the symptoms of damage to the body, must confirm the diagnosis with the help of laboratory tests. For this, scrapings from the anus area, fecal tests for worm eggs, enzyme immunoassay, endoscopy and ultrasound are used.
treatment methods
People who want to be cured of a bothersome problem choose a medical method or traditional medicine. It should be noted that the combined treatment of worms will also be effective, after consultation with the observing doctor.
Medicines for worms are prescribed by a specialist based on the results of laboratory tests and personal experience.
In itself, the presence of worms in an adult is not a diagnosis of a complex disease, and it is not the body that needs to be treated, but the removal of parasites that interfere with its normal functioning.
Therefore, drugs for worms are aimed at suppressing the functions of their vital activity or the ability to absorb nutrients, which leads to their death.
According to this principle, they are divided into the following types:
- in the muscle tissue of parasites, the drug blocks nerve impulses;
- do not allow the absorption of glucose, which leads to the death of parasites;
- blocks the intestines of worms;
- affect the ability to move.
Also, the drugs are broadly targeted and narrowly focused on a specific type of parasite. Based on experience, treatment methods and laboratory results, the attending physician chooses a specific drug for each case.
Long-acting antiparasitic drugs are used to stop their growth by blocking metabolic processes.
A narrower range of anthelmintic drugs affects tapeworms.
In addition to worm preparations, agents that eliminate allergic reactions from the body are used in the treatment of invasions. They allow to reduce the general intoxication of the body by eliminating worms in adults and are intended to reduce symptomatic phenomena. Medications for the treatment of the patient, as well as the procedure for taking them, are selected by the doctor individually, taking into account the process of the course of helminthiasis.
Drugs containing mebendazole are used for enterobiasis and trichuriasis. Drugs containing diethylcarbamazine are suitable for the treatment of filariasis, including diseases of the organs of vision and the lymphatic system. Medications containing levamisole are used for hookworm and ascariasis. Bephenia hydroxynaphthoate is used against roundworms. And piperazine adipate gives a good effect on ascaris and enterobiasis.
Tablets containing albendazole relieve echinococcus and cysticercosis. In difficult cases of helminthiasis, therapy is carried out with: hemodez, glucose solutions. Cordiamin is used for high blood pressure.
The supervising physician will be able to prescribe the necessary course of treatment and select a drug from a wide range of drugs applicable to a particular case. It is very important not to hide the problem and, at the slightest symptom similar to an infection with worms, consult a doctor.
alternative treatments
Pharmacological treatment, although effective, has side effects. There are people for whom medications are contraindicated.
For this case, we will consider non-pharmacological treatment methods, namely:
- Ayurveda;
- oxygen treatment;
- alcoholic beverage treatment.
Ayurveda not only normalizes vitality and raises the general tone of the body, but also serves as a method of getting rid of worms.
The cause of helminth infection, according to the followers of this teaching, is lack of hygiene and purity of thoughts. Impure, bad thoughts, laziness and discouragement are the causes of a decrease in the body's resistance to external influences.
Exercises that saturate the human body with cosmic energy help maintain health and find inner balance. At the same time, it is important to cleanse the body of toxins with the help of laxative decoctions, and then use spices and spicy decoctions with food. Thyme, wormwood and St. John's wort will be very useful. After a week, you can repeat the laxative decoctions so that the parasites leave your body.
Oxygen treatment has long been known as a way to expel helminths from the human body. The essence of the process is that a special tube is inserted into the esophagus and oxygen is pumped through it. This procedure is repeated for several days and favors the expulsion of parasites, while saturating the cells of the gastrointestinal tract with oxygen.
Ozone therapy is also used for this, but the tube is inserted through the anus and an ozone-oxygen mixture is supplied, which acts on the parasites in a paralyzing way. It is also possible to use enemas with olive oil and ozone. These types of treatments allow you to get rid of worms very effectively.
For an alternative treatment, use a mixture of cognac and tea in equal proportions, drinking on an empty stomach along with a laxative. A large spoonful of cognac is drunk for five days and ten days later a second course is taken.
A good remedy for helminths is vodka, infused with heads of garlic. It is applied with a large spoonful for ten days.
Folk remedies and methods of treatment
Popular wisdom teaches us to use natural remedies in the battle against adult worms. Its diversity and usefulness cannot be overestimated. Good help in the fight against parasites, pumpkin and flax seeds, which are taken together with laxatives.
