Parasites in the body exist at the expense of trace elements 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 with problems in humans are also different. For example, there are parasites that leave us hungry by eating the food we have eaten, others cause anemia by feeding on blood cells and others, by laying eggs in the body, provoke itching and insomnia. Therefore, the most important thing in treating parasites is to discover the root cause (parasite) that is causing your body to be in trouble.
Signs of the presence of parasites in the body
- the appearance of constipation or diarrhea, possibly other signs of improper bowel function;
- while traveling to other countries, you have diarrhea;
- after food poisoning, intestinal function has changed;
- have trouble sleeping, wake up often;
- there are spots on the skin that are not associated with allergies or other similar skin diseases;
- brush your teeth during sleep;
- there is excruciating pain in the joints and muscles;
- feeling tired, frequent depression and periodic periods of apathy;
- after eating you feel hungry, there is no satiety of the body;
- had 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 they may not even think about parasites.
How to identify the parasite
First, pay attention to how you feel, what specifically causes anxiety. If you have intestinal problems, whether constipation or diarrhea, disturbed sleep, itchy skin, muscle aches, you should see your doctor. All difficulties with the organism in the presence of parasites are associated with the release of toxins from them, which affects the normal functioning of the human body. And restless sleep and gnashing of teeth are a sign of anxiety, as the body talks about the problem. Stool analysis remains the main method for detecting parasites. At the same time, a distinction is made between a standard analysis and a detailed one, which is used in the medicine of functional disorders. Their main difference is in accuracy. Standard analysis is only able to identify a parasite if it is alive and active. Then, if the pest 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 harmful microorganism, although it will not be so. In a detailed analysis, there are no such problems, as it uses the polymerase chain reaction method. The method allows you to identify the parasite in any of its conditions and does not depend on the ability of the laboratory assistant to see the pest through a microscope. Thanks to this approach, patients who have received a negative standard analysis, after PCR, are surprised to learn about unwanted "roommates", which then allows them to solve their health problem.
Treatment methods
The necessary method of treatment is prescribed by the doctor after receiving the test result. The course of the prescribed medication depends on the type of parasite 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. Most often it is magnesium, tribulus extract, barberry and grapefruit extract, annual wormwood infusion, walnut extract and bear berry extract. All of these ingredients are sold in pharmacies. Mixtures work by creating bacteria that are beneficial to the gut, which is exactly what fights microorganisms harmful to us. If you have had liver disease, or have abused alcohol, check this point with your doctor, you probably should not use the herb, or you will need to reduce the frequency and number of doses. Remember, most parasites can be identified and eliminated. Schedule the examination on time, follow all the instructions of the attending physician and your health is guaranteed!
