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, worms, ringworm and trichocephalus. From the abundance of parasite species, the symptoms with problems in humans are also different. For example, there are parasites that leave us hungry by eating the food we ate, others cause anemia by feeding on blood cells, and still others, by laying eggs in the body, cause itching and insomnia. Therefore, the most important thing in parasite treatment is to find out the root cause (parasite) that is causing your body problems.
Signs of the presence of parasites in the body
- the appearance of constipation or diarrhea, possible other signs of improper bowel function;
- while traveling to other countries, you develop diarrhea;
- after food poisoning, intestinal function has changed;
- you have trouble sleeping, you wake up often;
- there are spots on the skin that are not associated with allergies or other similar skin diseases;
- grinding of teeth during sleep;
- there is aching pain in the joints and muscles;
- feeling tired, frequent depression and periodic fits of apathy;
- after eating you are hungry, there is no saturation of the body;
- there was anemia due to iron deficiency.
As we can see, the symptoms are completely different and some of them are attributed by people 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 aches, 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 creaking teeth are a sign of anxiety, as the body talks about the problem. Stool analysis remains the primary method of 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. Their main difference is in accuracy. Standard analysis can only identify a parasite if it is alive and active. So, if the parasite has died at the end of its life cycle, or is hibernating, the standard method will not work. The result will be negative and you will be sure that you do not have harmful microorganisms, even if it will not. In a detailed analysis, there are no such problems, since 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 parasite through a microscope. Thanks to this approach, patients who have received a negative standard analysis, after PCR, are surprised to learn unwanted "roommates", which subsequently allow them to solve the problem with their health.
Methods of treatment
The necessary treatment method is prescribed by the doctor after receiving the test result. The course of prescribed medications depends on the type of parasite found in you, because what will destroy one parasite will not affect the other at all. However, there are cases when it is not possible to identify a harmful microorganism, so the doctor prescribes a mixture of different herbs. Most often these are magnesia, tribulus extract, barberry and grapefruit extract, annual wormwood infusion, walnut extract and bear berry extract. All these ingredients are sold in pharmacies. The blends work by creating beneficial bacteria for the gut, which is precisely what fights microorganisms that are harmful to us. If you have had liver disease, or have been abusing alcohol, check this with your doctor, perhaps you shouldn't use herbs, or you will need to reduce the frequency and number of doses. Remember, most parasites can be identified and eliminated. Pass the exam promptly, follow all the instructions of the attending physician and your health is guaranteed!
