The world is designed so that parasites penetrate the human body and feed on its reserves of nutrients.Many people who carefully monitor their health, lead an active life, try to eat a balanced diet, cannot achieve the desired result;the cause can be helminths, which rob the host of all useful substances, leaving a small part.
This lifestyle of these pests is very suitable for them;moreover, their presence can go unnoticed for a long time.This is because the symptoms of a worm infection are very similar to those of other diseases;an infected person can be treated for other diseases for a long time and not notice positive dynamics.
Symptoms
It is strange that parasites do not have a digestive system, despite this, they feed exclusively on useful substances that are present in the host's body.Thanks to useful substances, their life span is significantly extended, but the person's condition significantly worsens.
Symptoms of infection may be absent or may resemble symptoms of other diseases.for example:
- hookworm larvae in the lungs have symptoms similar to pneumonia;
- pinworm larvae cause symptoms of appendicitis;
- Opisthorchis larvae can resemble an attack of pancreatitis.
Often the infection is accompanied by a cold: sore throat, sinusitis, bronchitis or other similar diseases.Doubts can start with the following changes:
- A sharp change in the functioning of the digestive system (diarrhea, flatulence, constipation);
- There is pain in the joints and muscles;
- An allergic reaction appeared on the skin;
- Anemia develops (most worms feed on blood, which leads to iron deficiency);
- Sudden weight gain or loss;
- Change in mental state:depression, panic attacks, high irritability, sleep disturbance (helminths, while in the human body, release toxins dangerous to the human body).
- Grinding teeth at night;
- Decreased immunity, frequent viral and infectious diseases are observed;
- Inflammation of the respiratory system;
- Oncology (long-term presence of worms contributes to the degeneration of cells into cancerous ones).
It should be understood that the presented symptoms do not indicate the presence of parasites, but only the assumption of their presence.An accurate diagnosis can only be made by a doctor after a complete diagnosis.The full range of possible symptoms is not presented;in addition to the above, there are also disturbances in the work of the liver, kidneys and cardiovascular system.Violations develop into more serious problems that require the intervention of experts.
