In the body, in addition to the spiritual essence, there are other forms of life that are not always suitable for human life. It is common to be shy when it comes to unpleasant life forms that are next to us. There are parasites that poison our body, coexist in it and multiply.
And every person has a problem: how to treat one of the most common diseases, how to cure worms?
This is a question that worries everyone, and we will try to answer it.
To understand what these are, you need to determine how worms appear and how to treat them:
- they enter the human body because they are infected by lower multicellular organisms, parasitic worms, through the external environment;
- parasites, or helminths, are found in insects, fungi, and plants, as well as in vertebrates;
- helminths are found in 60% of the population, but this is not the worst, because in people of Asian descent, doctors of laboratory diagnostics find 100% infection with various forms of helminths.
The products of their vital activity in humans cause various diseases. Getting rid of these symptoms is our direct task, because worms in an adult suppress vital activity, and even reduce motor activity.
From worms there are various side effects in adults. How to get rid of these plagues and how to treat worms, let's try to understand from the recommendations of experts.
Symptoms of the disease
From the very beginning, you need to make sure that the person has worms according to external signs. To do this, you need to know the symptoms of the infection, which are:
- acne on the skin;
- nausea;
- weight and its changes with increased appetite;
- unstable stool;
- bad breath, increased gas and belching;
- headaches and irritability;
- unusual smell of feces and urine;
- inflammation of the lymph nodes;
- asthma attacks and cough;
- weakness and fatigue;
- excretion of helminth parts in feces;
- itching in the anus.
These symptoms should alert everyone and make you consider consulting a professional. Only a specialist in the field of diagnosing such diseases will be able to answer the question of what is the treatment for a certain parasitic infection in adults.
Types of parasites in humans
To know how to treat it, it is important to understand what kind of parasite we adults are dealing with. There are a number of variants of helminthic invasions, which differ in both symptoms and effect on the human body.
There are the following types of parasites:
- pinworms, itching in the anus, is a sign of infection by small roundworms;
- Trichinella, enter muscle mass through blood vessels and cause swelling and pain;
- whip, source of gastrointestinal tract problems;
- tapeworms, various types of tapeworms of great length;
- roundworms, long enough, roundworms that cause problems with the airways and bile ducts.
All types of these invasions are associated with the use of insufficiently heat-treated food and non-compliance with hygiene rules. The presence of pets also often leads to parasite infection.
The doctor, who has detected symptoms of damage to the body, must confirm the diagnosis with the help of laboratory tests. For this, scrapings from the anus area, fecal tests on worm eggs, enzyme immunoassay, endoscopy and ultrasound are used.
Methods of treatment
People who want to cure an annoying problem choose either a medical method or traditional medicine. It should be noted that the combined treatment of worms will also be effective, after consultation with the attending physician.
Medicines for worms are prescribed by a specialist based on the results of laboratory tests and personal experience.
By itself, the presence of worms in an adult is not a diagnosis of a complex disease and the body does not need to be treated, but removing the parasite from it interferes with its normal functioning.
Therefore, drugs for worms are aimed at suppressing the functions of their vital activity or ability to absorb nutrients, leading to their death.
According to this principle, they are divided into the following types:
- in the muscle tissue of the parasite, the drug blocks nerve impulses;
- do not allow the absorption of glucose, which leads to the death of the parasite;
- blocks worm intestines;
- affect the ability to move.
In addition, drugs are broadly targeted and narrowly targeted to a specific type of parasite. Based on experience, treatment methods and laboratory results, the doctor selects a specific drug for each case.
Long-acting antiparasitic drugs are used to stop their growth by blocking metabolic processes.
A narrower range of anthelmintic drugs acts on tapeworms.
In addition to preparations for earthworms, in the treatment of invasions are used agents that eliminate allergic reactions of the organism. They enable the reduction of general intoxication of the body during the elimination of worms in adults, and are aimed at reducing symptomatic phenomena. Medicines for the treatment of the patient, as well as the procedure for taking them, are selected by the doctor on an individual basis, taking into account the process of the course of helminthiasis.
Mebendazole-containing drugs are used for enterobiosis and trichuriasis. Diethylcarbamazine-containing drugs are suitable for the treatment of filariasis, including diseases of the visual organs and lymphatic system. Medicines containing Levamisole are used for hookworm and ascariasis. Befenia hydroxynaphthoate is used against roundworms. A piperazine adipate has a good effect on ascaris and enterobiasis.
Tablets containing albendazole bring relief from echinococcus and cysticercosis. In severe cases of helminthiasis, therapy is carried out using: hemodesis, glucose solution. Cordiamine is used for high blood pressure.
The supervising physician will be able to prescribe the necessary course of treatment and select a drug from a wide range of drugs that are applied to a particular case. It is very important not to hide the problem, and at the slightest symptoms similar to a worm infection, consult a doctor.
Alternative treatments
Drug treatment, although effective, has side effects. There are people for whom medications are contraindicated.
For this case, we will consider non-drug treatment methods, as follows:
- Ayurveda;
- oxygen treatment;
- treatment based on alcoholic beverages.
Ayurveda not only normalizes vitality and raises the general tone of the body, but also serves as a method to remove worms.
The cause of helminth infection, according to followers of this teaching, is a lack of hygiene and purity of thought. Impure, evil thoughts, laziness and discouragement are the causes of reduced body resistance to external influences.
Exercises that saturate the human body with cosmic energy help maintain health and find inner balance. At the same time, it is important to cleanse the body of toxins with the help of laxative decoctions, and then use hot spices and decoctions with food. Thyme, wormwood and St. John's wort will be very useful. After a week, you can repeat the laxative decoctions so that the parasites leave your body.
Oxygen treatment has long been known as a way to expel helminths from the human body. The essence of the process is to insert a special tube into the esophagus and pump oxygen through it. This procedure is repeated for several days and promotes the expulsion of parasites, while the cells of the gastrointestinal tract are saturated with oxygen.
Ozone therapy is also used for this, but the tube is inserted into the anus and brings the ozone-oxygen mixture, which has a paralyzing effect on parasites. It is also possible to use enemas with olive oil and ozone. These types of treatments allow you to get rid of worms very effectively.
For an alternative treatment, use a mixture of cognac and tea in equal proportions, drink on an empty stomach with a laxative. A large spoonful of cognac is drunk for five days, and another meal is taken ten days later.
A good remedy for helminths is vodka, in which garlic heads are added. It is applied on a large tablespoon for ten days.
Folk remedies and methods of treatment
Folk wisdom teaches us to use natural remedies to fight worms in adults. Their diversity and usefulness cannot be overestimated. Good help in the fight against parasites, pumpkins and flaxseed, which are taken together with laxatives.
Perfectly proven decoctions and infusions of bitter wormwood. Garlic and onions help not only with colds, but also have a positive effect in the fight against parasites. Pomegranate peel decoction is also well known as an anthelmintic.
