Unfortunately, one can become a victim of parasites anywhere by eating an undercooked steak in a cafe, dipping into a strange lake, or eating berries that have not been treated with water. The result of the presence of parasites is deterioration in health, impaired immunity and unhealthy appearance. Parasites poison the host with waste products, and unpleasant changes gradually appear in a person's internal organs. How to deal with parasites in the human bodyWhat drugs and methods are there to fight parasites in human organs? Let's consider in detail the methods of fighting parasites.
Signs of the presence of parasites in the body
Various parasites live in the human body. Some show their presence almost immediately after checking in. Others live without showing any signs. It is very easy to get infected with worms, but it is not easy to get rid of them. How can you check if there are parasites? And although the parasites that live in the human body may be different, the symptoms of parasitic infection are similar. Common symptoms of the presence of helminths in the body are the following:
- unreasonable headache;
- Nausea, occasional vomiting;
- Weakness, apathy;
- disruption of digestive processes;
- Loss of appetite or constant craving for something to eat;
- unpleasant smell from the mouth;
- dark circles around the eyes;
- Anemia;
- Weight gain or loss for no reason;
- Muscle and joint pain;
- Allergy;
- Disorders of the nervous system;
- Dizziness.
Very often a person is treated for an illness by swallowing a handful of medicine, and the cause of their discomfort is parasites in the body. And after removing the helminths, the state of health improves immediately. Fighting parasites is an important step in keeping your body healthy.
Most often, the human body is susceptible to attacks from such parasites:
- Roundworm;
- Pinworms;
- Lamblia;
- Streptococci;
- Staphylococci;
- opisthorchis.
The difficulty in identifying parasites is that the symptoms of the presence of helminths are similar to those of various diseases. More than a hundred parasites with a size of a few millimeters to several meters settle in the human body, poison, injure organs, and absorb energy, food components and strength.
Ways to diagnose the presence of parasites in the body
There is an opinion that identifying the parasites is not easy. In fact, the usual way - a clinical analysis of feces can not always show the presence of parasites in the human body. To identify parasitic people, there are therefore the following options:
- Examining feces microscopically for an ovarian leaf is a non-traumatic and painless method that can be done in any laboratory. For reasons of reliability, it is recommended to run the diagnosis several times.
- immunological blood test for the presence of parasites in the organs based on the level of antigens, ELISA;
- Hardware diagnostics - ultrasound helps to detect echinococci in the human body;
- Endoscopy and endobiopsy - taking a piece of tissue to determine the presence of parasitic organisms;
- PCR - diagnosis of blood for the presence of parasitic organisms in the human body.
Difficulty dealing with parasites
The hardest part in the fight against parasites is diagnosis. They masterfully hide in the body, and it is not so easy to detect the presence of parasites. The life cycle of some individuals reaches two decades! What colossal damage can microbes, worms or helminths cause during this time! The manifestation of the presence of parasites of different species is different, and it happens that parasites cannot be identified even in clinical studies.
The detection of parasites or their fragments in the stool is shocking, but one should not panic.
Eventually, one can begin to fight against foreign organisms that suppress the immune system and undermine health. After the parasite is released, do not hesitate to take it to an infectious disease doctor in the laboratory. Indeed, depending on the type of helminthic organism, rational treatment is prescribed. Antiparasitic therapy and concomitant medications are prescribed to maintain overall health.
Traditional medicine against parasites (roundworm and tapeworm therapy)
According to the Ministry of Health, every third adult and every second child is infected with various parasites. Helminths are the most common parasitic species that humans are the host. Tapeworms and roundworms are the most common types of worms. Their middle name is nematodes and cestodes. Most often, individuals live and reproduce in the intestine. There are many drugs, some are able to destroy several types of helminths at the same time. Many methods and treatment routes have been developed in the fight against parasites in the human body. The drugs are designed to suppress parasites by acting on their main organs and systems.
Drugs are indicated for such helminthiasis:
- Ascardiasis;
- Teniar pants;

The drug is contraindicated in children under three years of age. The drug can cause side effects: disorders of the digestive system, disorders of the nervous system and genitourinary system. In some cases, the manifestation of allergic reactions, hair loss, changes in indicators are noted in clinical blood and urine tests. That said, the drug is quite toxic and can negatively affect the general state of health. Self-prescribing is not recommended. Only a doctor can prescribe the right medication and dosage, taking into account existing diseases and health conditions.

The suckers are also frequent guests and "lodgings" of a person.
This group of parasites are flatworms. They can live in many organs of the human body: pancreas, lungs, intestines, gallbladder, liver. Against such parasitic organisms, special drugs are used that lead to paralysis of the body of the parasite and death.
In parallel with anti-parasitic therapy, complex treatment with symptomatic drugs is carried out. It is advisable to prescribe antiallergic drugs, drugs to protect the liver, choleretics, enzymes, sorbents, pain relievers. In some cases, antibiotics are prescribed at the doctor's discretion. Since the presence of leeches significantly weakens the immune system, a complex of vitamins and minerals is prescribed. And the last stage of therapy is the normalization of the intestinal flora.
Traditional medicine against parasites (fight against protozoses, eco-parasites)
Parasitologists have enough information on the easiest way to resist. Amoeba, Lamblia, Cryptosporidium can settle in the human body and parasitize in it.
The main component of the drugs affects the genetic code of the protozoa and contributes to their destruction. The drugs are contraindicated for use in liver failure, epilepsy, during pregnancy and lactation.
Parasites are localized in the circulatory system and in the internal organs as well as on the skin and multiply. One such representative of parasites is a mite that infects smooth skin and hair follicles. The most common locations for parasites are eyebrows, eyelashes, nose and the area around the mouth. This becomes the cause of an unpleasant change in appearance. It is very difficult to recover from demodicosis. Various methods are used to kill subcutaneous mites: preparations of the metronidazole group, medicinal gels, essential preparations, cosmetic facial cleansing, laser peeling. Lice are also representatives of this type of parasite. Lice attack the scalp and pubic area.
