People consume food products to replenish energy reserves spent in the process of active living. But you can imagine that a person often becomes a great target for the simplest living organisms. Uninvited "tenants" can use the owner as a housing container for a long time, providing food, accommodation and comfortable conditions. If the parasites have settled in the human body, the symptoms of the infection can easily be replaced with signs of certain diseases, such as colds, gastritis, pneumonia, etc.
The most common symptoms of parasitosis
Parasitic life forms exist and develop to the detriment of man, while his health is irreparably damaged, because the lion's share of nutrients and vitamins goes to the "occupier" who modestly lurks in one of the internal organs: intestines, lungs, heart, liver, joints, etc. etc. The destructive action depends on the length of stay and the "appetite" of the migrant, and parasitosis is believed to be the underlying cause of diseases such as diabetes mellitus, pancreatitis, bronchial asthma, cholecystitis and atopic dermatitis.
Symptoms of the presence of parasites in the human body:
- gastrointestinal tract disorders (constipation, bloating, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, pain localized in the stomach);
- endocrine disorders (weight fluctuations, underweight or overweight, hormonal imbalance);
- dental diseases (stomatitis, periodontal disease);
- problems related to the work of the musculoskeletal system (pain in the joints, muscles - arthrosis, arthritis);
- neurological disorders (irritability, insomnia, unreasonable anxiety, depressive states);
- allergic reactions and related skin problems (elevated levels of eosinophils, immunoglobulin E, allergic rhinitis, eczema, urticaria, papillomas, dermatitis);
- respiratory diseases (bronchial asthma, pneumonia);
- violation of hematopoiesis, decreased vascular permeability, anemia (critical decrease in hemoglobin);
- chronic fatigue and decreased immunity (frequent mild ARVI, tonsillitis, apathy, low blood pressure, weakness and poor memory);
- oncological diseases;
- cosmetic problems (cracked heels, dry skin, brittle nails, faded hair, seborrhea, baldness);
- gynecological and urological diseases (in women: menstrual irregularities, discharge, vaginal candidiasis, fibroids, mastopathy; and in men: prostatitis, urolithiasis);
- bruxism (gnashing of teeth), snoring.
Even knowing the signs of the presence of parasites in the human body, it is difficult to diagnose parasitosis without a complete examination (three times scraping and blood analysis). Symptoms of parasitic invasion are the result of violent activity of the "guest", when a person suffers from intoxication with helminth waste products, chronic irritation of the affected organs and the immune system is no longer able to cope with the disease. myself.
Characteristics of the course of parasitosis in children
Children, unlike adults, are more likely to encounter parasitic infestations in everyday life. Usually the infection occurs during walking (after contact with sand or earth), as a result of close contact with sick animals or swimming in the open sea. Usually the signs of parasites in children are difficult to determine, the primary infection and colonization of helminths takes place imperceptibly. Gradually increases the amount of toxins in the blood, the child's body is poisoned by waste products of helminths, which manifests itself in the form of reduced immunity and permanent diseases, allergies of unknown etiology, dysbiosis, physical exhaustion.
The following indirect symptoms of parasites in children can be distinguished:
- poor appetite or, conversely, gluttony, passion for sweets;
- regular headaches accompanied by nausea;
- rapid fatigue that occurs;
- lack of daily bowel emptying (constipation);
- vomiting, belching, bad breath;
- pale skin, "blue" under the eyes;
- irritability, aggression, whims;
- hyperactivity, especially in the evening;
- bad (intermittent) night's sleep, associated with fidgeting, moaning, bruxism;
- irritation or redness in the genital area.
Symptoms of protozoan parasite infection should be used as a "beacon" for a complete examination. Timely and professional diagnosis allows you to completely cure the parasitic infestation with minimal damage to the health of the organism.
