Parasites in the human body: symptoms and treatment of protozoos, helminthiasis and mycoses

Parasites

The human body is a natural habitat for various parasites, the number and species diversity of which is very large. They cause enormous harm to human organs and tissues. There are three main groups of parasites that affect the human body. These are protozoos, helminths (helminthiases) and fungi (mycoses).

GENERAL SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT

Each of the groups (and within the groups each species) of parasites living in the human body has its own symptoms and signs. Accordingly, the treatment of various parasites differs significantly.

However, there are some common symptoms that are common to almost all parasites. Let's take a closer look at the common symptoms and treatments for parasites in the human body.

General symptoms

The following main symptoms indicate the presence of parasites in the human body:

  • weakness;
  • dramatic weight loss;
  • unexplained weight gain and difficulty losing weight;
  • headaches of unknown origin;
  • muscle pain, inflammation of the upper respiratory tract;
  • gas and bloating;
  • tendency to diarrhea and gastrointestinal disorders;
  • skin diseases ranging from acne to hair loss, psoriasis and neurodermatitis;
  • reduced immunity, frequent manifestations of herpes and other infectious diseases;
  • sleep disturbance, teeth grinding in sleep;
  • chronic fatigue syndrome;
  • oncology and immune disorders.

The presence of several of the listed symptoms at once indicates the infection of the human body with parasites. More accurate confirmation can be provided by an online test for the presence of parasites.

General treatments

As a treatment for parasites in the human body at this stage (preliminary diagnosis), only gentle methods can be used. In no case is self-treatment with specific anti-parasitica medications permissible.

Treatment of parasites in the human body using traditional medicine

Traditional medicine has accumulated rich experience in the treatment of parasites in the human body. Here are some of the most popular treatment recipes.

Treatment of parasites with garlic and kefir.

Garlic effectively fights against many parasites - every person knows this since childhood. For the treatment of parasites, it is necessary to peel 10 cloves of garlic and swallow them with kefir. Garlic should be swallowed, not chewed. The fact is that the crushed garlic will be digested in the stomach, and will not bring any result in the liver and small intestine. But a whole head of garlic will be digested already in the intestines, which means it will do its job against parasites. Even children can be treated with a remedy like garlic and kefir.

Treatment of parasites with an infusion of chanterelle mushrooms.

This treatment is very effective against many parasites in the human body, since the pulp of these mushrooms contains substances that have a negative effect on them. However, during heat treatment or salting, all the beneficial antiparasitic properties of chanterelles disappear. Therefore, in order to carry out effective treatment for parasites, it is necessary to make the following infusion: 100 g of fresh crushed chanterelles (or 200 g of dried mushrooms) should be poured with 250 ml of pure alcohol, tightly closed with a lid and left to infuse in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks. Periodically, the infusion must be shaken. Reception scheme: 1 teaspoon of alcohol tincture of chanterelles every evening before going to bed for 1 month. It is very important that chanterelles not only remove parasites from the body, but also stimulate the human immune system.

Treating parasites in humans with parapharmaceuticals

Modern approaches to the treatment of parasites in the human body with parapharmaceuticals imply an integrated approach. This means that really high-quality drugs should have the following set of properties:

  • be absolutely harmless to the human body (unconditional requirement);
  • effectively restore the human body's own resistance, its immune system (against the background of a weakened immune system, any parasite treatment is ineffective);
  • possess high antiparasitic activity (while not killing, but removing, expelling parasites).

PROTOZOOS SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT

Protozoos are caused by parasites of the unicellular protozoan type. Protozoa cause serious illness in humans. About 50 species of protozoa are known to infect the human body. Protozoa parasitize in various organs and tissues: in the blood, intestines, central nervous system, liver, lungs, etc. Of the most common protozoan parasites in the human body, one can isolate lamblia, chlamydia, toxoplasma.

Each of the types of protozoa in the human body has its own symptoms and treatment methods. Consider the symptoms and treatment of parasites such as lamblia.

Giardiasis symptoms

Symptoms of lamblia parasites in the acute form of the disease: pronounced diarrhea, fever, damage to the small intestine, vomiting, fever, rash (similar to measles, rubella), anorexia, sharp pain in the middle and upper epigastric regions.

Symptoms of lamblia parasites in a chronic form of the disease: general weakness, fatigue, irritability, loss of appetite, headaches, dizziness, poor sleep, bloating, flatulence, rumbling in the intestines, unstable stools with alternating diarrhea and constipation, abdominal pain on palpationin the right hypochondrium, enlarged liver, intestinal dysbiosis, anemia.

On the part of the skin, the following symptoms of parasites are observed: pallor, especially the skin of the face (with normal hemoglobin values), uneven coloration of the skin of the neck, lateral surfaces of the abdomen, axillary folds, dry skin, giving the impression of the so-called "goose bumps" with predominant localizationon the extensor surfaces of the arms and legs, the lateral surfaces of the abdomen, lesions of the border of the lips, atopic dermatitis.

Treatment of giardiasis

There are three approaches used to treat parasites in the human body such as lamblia:

  • drug treatment of parasites;
  • folk treatment of parasites (linden ash, aspen bark, pumpkin seeds, etc. );
  • parasite treatment with parapharmaceuticals.

SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT OF HELMINTHOSIS

Helminthiases are a group of diseases caused by parasites, helminths (worms). More than 250 types of such parasites can be present in the human body, causing many diseases. According to statistics, every third inhabitant of Europe is a carrier of these parasites. The most common parasites are opisthorchis, roundworm, pinworms.

Each of the types of helminths in the human body has its own symptoms and treatment methods. Consider the symptoms and treatment of parasites such as opisthorchis.

Symptoms of opisthorchiasis

Symptoms of the presence in the human body of such parasites as opisthorchiasis begin to appear after an incubation period of 2-3 weeks. There are acute and chronic opisthorchiasis.

Symptoms of a mild form of acute opisthorchiasis: a slight increase in temperature (up to 38 ° C), which lasts for 1-2 weeks.

Symptoms of the average form of acute opisthorchiasis: temperature rise to 39 ° C, and higher, which lasts for 2-3 weeks; the appearance of urticarial rashes, muscle and joint pain, sometimes vomiting and diarrhea.

Symptoms of severe acute opisthorchiasis: Headaches, insomnia, a state of inhibition, or agitation. The symptomatology is similar to the lesion of internal organs. Constant high temperature. In cases of liver damage, pain in the liver, jaundice, swollen lymph nodes may occur, with damage to the digestive tract - nausea, vomiting, pain in the right hypochondrium, bloating, diarrhea.

Chronic opisthorchiasis lasts for years and can have a wide variety of symptoms.

In case of violation of gastric secretion in chronic opisthorchiasis, symptoms of gastritis, duodenitis, gastric and duodenal ulcers appear, in some cases - symptoms of cholecystitis, various allergic reactions. Sometimes there are symptoms of heart damage.

Damage to the nervous system in chronic opisthorchiasis provokes symptoms of frequent depressive conditions, symptoms of emotional disorders (frequent mood swings, irritability, sleep disturbance).

Symptomatic signs of chronic opisthorchiasis on the skin are also possible: urticaria, itching, Quincke's edema, food allergies, rash.

Treatment of opisthorchiasis

There are four main approaches to treating parasites in humans such as opisthorchis:

  • drug treatment of parasites, which consists of three stages (preparatory, antiparasitic therapy itself and the recovery stage of treatment);
  • folk treatment of parasites (birch tar, aspen bark, dandelion roots and leaves, pumpkin seeds, etc. );
  • parasite treatment with physiotherapy devices;
  • parasite treatment with parapharmaceuticals.

SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT OF MYCOSIS

Mycoses are a group of infectious diseases, the causative agent of which is any type of parasite of fungi (fungi). Fungi are plant parasites. Several hundred species of fungi are known that can parasitize in the human body. Fungi can infect skin, subcutaneous tissue, bones, internal organs.

Mycoses symptoms

Symptoms of fungal parasites in the human body are quite diverse, but most often the affected skin begins to peel off, sometimes painful purulent vesicles appear on them. On the surface of the legs, diaper rash is observed, the epidermis coarsens, so-called corns develop. With mycoses, the hair and nail plates grow dull, acquire a yellowish tint, thicken and exfoliate, become brittle. Sometimes these symptoms of parasites are accompanied by itching.

Treatment of mycoses

There are five main approaches to treating parasites in the human body such as fungi:

  • medical treatment of parasites, which includes drugs of a local spectrum of action and systemic drugs;
  • laser treatment of parasites;
  • parasite treatment - surgical intervention;
  • folk treatment of parasites (celandine, apple cider vinegar, birch tar, propolis, etc. );
  • parasite treatment with parapharmaceuticals.
