Unfortunately, it is possible to become a victim of parasites anywhere by eating a raw steak in a cafe, diving into an unfamiliar lake, or eating berries that have not been treated with water. The result of the presence of parasites will be poor health, compromised immunity, and an unhealthy appearance. Parasites poison the host with waste products and gradually unpleasant changes occur in the internal organs of a person. How to deal with parasites in the human body? What drugs and methods exist to combat parasites in human organs? Let us consider in detail the methods of fighting parasites.
Signs of the presence of parasites in the body.
A variety of parasites live in the human body. Some show their presence almost immediately after check-in. Others live without showing signs. It is very easy to get infected with worms, but getting rid of them is not easy. How to check for parasites? And although the parasites that live in the human body may be different, the symptoms of parasitic infection are similar. Common symptoms of helminths in the body include the following:
- unreasonable headaches;
- nausea, occasional vomiting;
- weakness, apathy;
- digestive process disorder;
- lack of appetite or constant desire to eat;
- unpleasant smell from the mouth;
- dark circles around the eyes;

Very often, a person is treated for some kind of disease by swallowing a handful of drugs, and the cause of his discomfort is parasites in the body. And after removing helminths, the state of health immediately improves. The fight against parasites is an important stage in the health of the body.
Most often, the human body is susceptible to the attacks of such parasitic individuals:
- roundworm
- pinworms;
- lamblia;
- streptococci;
- staphylococci;
- opisthorchis.
The difficulty in identifying parasites is that the symptoms of helminths are similar to different diseases. More than a hundred parasites, ranging in size from a couple of millimeters to several meters, settle in the human body, poison, injure organs, take energy, nutritional components and strength.
Ways to diagnose the presence of parasites in the body.
There is an opinion that it is not easy to identify parasites. In fact, in the usual way: a clinical analysis of feces cannot always show the presence of parasitic individuals in the human body. Therefore, to identify parasitic individuals, there are such options:
- microscopic examination of feces for an ovarian sheet is a non-traumatic and painless method that can be carried out in any laboratory, for greater reliability it is recommended to carry out the diagnosis several times;
- immunological blood test for the presence of parasites in the organs by 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: blood diagnostics to detect the presence of parasitic organisms in the human body.
Difficulties in dealing with parasitic individuals.
The most difficult thing in the fight against parasites is the 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 during this time microbes, worms or helminths can cause! The manifestation of the presence of parasites of different species is different, and it happens that it is not possible to identify parasites even in clinical studies.
The detection of parasites or their fragments in feces is shocking, but one should not panic.
After all, it is thanks to this that one can begin to fight foreign organisms that suppress the immune system and undermine health. After the release of the parasite, you should not hesitate to take it to the laboratory to a doctor who specializes in infectious diseases. In fact, depending on the type of helminthic organism, rational treatment is prescribed. Antiparasitic therapy and concomitant medications are prescribed to maintain general health.
