Parasites in the body exist at the expense of micronutrients and food in our intestines. There are many types of them. The most common are tapeworms, worms, trichophytosis and trichocephaly. From the abundance of parasite species, the symptoms of problems in humans are also different. For example, there are parasites that leave us hungry by eating the food we eat, others cause anemia by eating blood cells, and still others, by laying eggs in the body, provoke itching and insomnia. That is why the most important thing in treating parasites is to find the root cause (the parasite) that is causing your body problems.
Signs of parasites in the body
- the appearance of constipation or diarrhea, probably other signs of bowel dysfunction;
- while traveling to other countries, you develop diarrhea;
- after food poisoning your bowel function has changed;
- you have trouble sleeping, you wake up often;
- there are spots on the skin that are not related to allergies or other similar skin diseases;
- gnash your teeth while you sleep;
- there is painful pain in the joints and muscles;
- feeling tired, frequent depression and periodic bouts of apathy;
- after eating you feel hungry, there is no satiety of the body;
- there was anemia due to iron deficiency.
As we can see, the symptoms are quite different, and some of them are attributed by people to another disease and may not even think of parasites.
How to identify the parasite
First, pay attention to how you feel, what exactly is causing the anxiety. If you have intestinal problems, be it constipation or diarrhea, restless sleep, itchy skin, muscle aches, you should see your doctor. All the 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 gnashing of teeth are a sign of anxiety, because the body is talking about the problem. Stool analysis remains the main method for detecting parasites. At the same time, a distinction is made between standard analysis and detailed, which is used in the medicine of functional disorders. Their main difference is accuracy. Standard analysis is able to identify a parasite only if it is alive and active. Then, if the pest has died at the end of its life cycle or is in hibernation, the standard method will not work. The result will be negative and you will be sure that you do not have a harmful microorganism, although this will not be the case. In a detailed analysis, there are no such problems, as the polymerase chain reaction method is used. The method allows you to identify the parasite in each of its conditions and does not depend on the laboratory's ability to see the pest through a microscope. Thanks to this approach, patients who received a negative standard analysis after PCR are surprised to learn about unwanted "roommates", which subsequently allows them to solve their health problems.
Methods of treatment
The necessary method of treatment is prescribed by the doctor after receiving the test result. The course of the prescribed medication depends on what parasite is found in you, because what will destroy one pest will not affect the other at all. However, there are cases when it is not possible to identify a harmful microorganism, then the doctor prescribes a mixture of different herbs. The most common are magnesium, tribulus extract, barberry and grapefruit extract, annual wormwood infusion, walnut extract and bearberry extract. All these ingredients are sold in pharmacies. The mixtures work by creating bacteria that are good for the gut, which precisely fight the harmful microorganisms. If you have had liver disease or have abused alcohol, check this point with your doctor, you may not need to use herbs or you may need to reduce the frequency and number of doses. Remember that most parasites can be identified and eliminated. Pass the examination on time, follow all the instructions of the attending physician and your health is guaranteed!
