Parasites in the body exist at the expense of trace elements and food in our intestines. There are many types. The most common are tapeworms, worms, trichophytosis and whipworm. From the abundance of species of parasites, the symptoms of problems in humans are also different. For example, there are some parasites that leave us hungry by eating the food we have eaten, others cause anemia by feeding on blood cells, and still others, laying eggs in the body, causingitching and sleeplessness. Therefore, the most important thing in dealing with parasites is to find out the root cause (parasite) which is causing your body problems.
Signs of the presence of parasites in the body
- the appearance of constipation or diarrhea, possibly other signs of intestinal dysfunction;
- when traveling to other countries, you develop diarrhea;
- after food poisoning, your bowel function has changed;
- you have trouble sleeping, wake up often;
- there are spots on the skin that are not associated with allergies or other similar skin diseases;
- grinding teeth while sleeping;
- there is aching pain in the joints and muscles;
- feeling tired, frequent depression and bouts of listlessness;
- 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 may not even think of parasites.
How to identify the parasite
First of all, pay attention to how you are feeling, what specifically is causing the anxiety. If you have any bowel problems, be it constipation or diarrhea, restless sleep, itchy skin, muscle pain, you should see your doctor. All the difficulties of 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 teeth grinding is a sign of anxiety, as the body talks about the problem. Stool testing remains the primary method of detecting parasites. At the same time, a distinction is made between a standard analysis and a detailed analysis, which is used in the medicine of functional disorders. Their main difference is in the precision. Standard analysis can only identify a parasite if it is alive and active. Then, if the pest has died due to 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 any harmful microorganisms, even if you do not. In a detailed analysis, there are no such problems, because it uses the polymerase chain reaction method. The method allows you to identify the parasite under any of its conditions and does not depend on the ability of the lab assistant to see the parasite under a microscope. With this approach, patients who received a negative standard analysis after PCR were surprised to learn of unwanted "roommates", which subsequently enabled them to resolve the problem with their health.
Processing methods
The necessary treatment method is prescribed by the doctor after receiving the test result. The course of the prescribed drugs depends on the type of parasite in you, because what will destroy one parasite will not affect the other at all. However, in some cases it is not possible to identify a harmful microorganism, then the doctor prescribes a mixture of different herbs. Most often it is magnesia, tribulus extract, barberry and grapefruit extract, annual wormwood infusion, walnut extract and bear berry extract. . All of these ingredients are sold in pharmacies. The mixtures work by creating bacteria that are beneficial to the intestines, which is precisely what fights microorganisms that are harmful to us. If you have had liver disease or heavy drinking, check this 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 pests can be identified and eliminated. Take the exam in a timely manner, follow all the instructions of the attending physician and your health is guaranteed!
