The world is designed in such a way that parasites invade the human body and feed on its nutrient reserves.Many people who carefully monitor their health, lead an active life and try to eat a balanced diet cannot achieve the desired result;The cause can be helminths, which deprive the host of all useful substances, leaving a small part.
This lifestyle of these pests is very convenient for them;In addition, their presence can go unnoticed for a long time.This is because the symptoms of a worm infection are very similar to the symptoms of other diseases;An infected person can be treated for other diseases for a long time and not observe positive dynamics.
Symptoms
Oddly enough, parasites do not have a digestive system, but feed exclusively on useful substances present in the host's body.Thanks to the beneficial substances, their lifespan significantly increases, but the person's condition noticeably worsens.
Symptoms of infection may be absent or similar to symptoms of other diseases.For example:
- The hookworm larva located in the lungs has symptoms similar to pneumonia.
- Pinworm larvae cause symptoms of appendicitis;
- Opisthorchis larvae can resemble an attack of pancreatitis.
An infection is often accompanied by a cold: sore throat, sinusitis, bronchitis or similar illnesses.Suspicion may begin with the following changes:
- A sharp change in the functioning of the digestive system (occurrence of diarrhea, flatulence, constipation);
- Pain occurs in the joints and muscles;
- An allergic reaction has occurred 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 disorders (helminths release dangerous toxins into the human body).
- Nocturnal teeth grinding;
- Reduced immunity, frequent viral and infectious diseases are observed;
- inflammation of the respiratory tract;
- Oncology (the long-term presence of worms contributes to the degeneration of cells into cancer cells).
It should be clear that the symptoms presented do not indicate the presence of parasites, but simply suggest their presence.Only a doctor can make an accurate diagnosis after a complete diagnosis.The full spectrum of possible symptoms is not presented;In addition, dysfunctions of the liver, kidneys and cardiovascular system occur.Violations develop into more serious problems that require specialist intervention.
