The world is designed in such a way that parasites enter the human body and feed on its reserves of nutrients.Many people who carefully monitor their health, lead an active life, try to follow a balanced diet, fail to achieve the desired result;the cause could be helminths, which take away all the beneficial substances from the host, leaving a small part of them.
This lifestyle of these parasites is very convenient for them;furthermore, their presence can remain unnoticed for a long time.This happens because the symptoms of worm infection are very similar to the symptoms of other diseases;an infected person can be treated for other diseases for a long time and not observe positive dynamics.
Symptoms
Strangely enough, parasites do not have a digestive system, despite this they feed exclusively on useful substances present in the host's body.Thanks to beneficial substances, their lifespan increases significantly, but the person's condition worsens noticeably.
Symptoms of the infection may be absent or resemble symptoms of other diseases.For example:
- hookworm larva located in the lung has pneumonia-like symptoms;
- pinworm larvae cause symptoms of appendicitis;
- Opisthorchis larvae can resemble a pancreatitis attack.
Often the infection is accompanied by a cold: sore throat, sinusitis, bronchitis or other similar diseases.Suspicions can start with the following changes:
- A sharp change in the functioning of the digestive system (appearance of diarrhea, flatulence, constipation);
- Pain in joints and muscles appears;
- An allergic reaction has appeared on the skin;
- Anemia develops (most worms feed on blood, which leads to iron deficiency);
- Sudden weight gain or loss;
- Change in mental state:depression, panic attacks, high irritability, sleep disorders (helminths, while in the human body, release toxins dangerous for the human body).
- Nocturnal teeth grinding;
- A decrease in immunity, frequent viral and infectious diseases are observed;
- Inflammation of the respiratory system;
- Oncology (long-term presence of worms contributes to the degeneration of cells into cancerous cells).
It should be understood that the presented symptoms do not indicate the presence of parasites, but only a hypothesis of their presence.Only a doctor can make an accurate diagnosis after a comprehensive diagnosis.The full range of possible symptoms is not presented;in addition to the above, disorders appear in the functioning of the liver, kidneys and cardiovascular system.Violations turn into more serious problems that require the intervention of a specialist.
