In the body, in addition to the spiritual essence, there are several other forms of life that do not always lead to human life. It is customary to be shy when it comes to unpleasant life forms that are adjacent to us. There are parasites that poison our body, live in it and multiply.
And everyone has a problem: how to treat one of the most common diseases, how to cure worms?
This is the question that concerns everyone, and we will try to answer it.
To understand what it is, you need to determine how worms occur and how to treat them:
- they enter the human body because it is infected by lower multicellular organisms, parasitic worms, through the external environment;
- parasites, or helminths, are found on insects, fungi, and plants, as well as vertebrates;
- helminths are found in 60% of the population, but this is not the worst, because in people of Asian origin, laboratory diagnosticians find 100% infection with various forms of helminths.
The products of their vital activity in humans, they cause all sorts of 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 all sorts of side effects in an adult. How to get rid of this scourge and how to treat worms, let's try to understand the recommendations of experts.
disease symptoms
From the very beginning, you need to ensure that a person has worms by external signs. To do this, you need to know the symptoms of the infection, which are as follows:
- acne on the skin;
- nausea;
- weight and its changes with increased appetite;
- unstable chair;
- bad breath, increased gas and belching;
- headaches and irritability;
- unusual smell of feces and urine;
- inflammation of the lymph nodes;
- asthma attacks and coughing;
- weakness and fatigue;
- excretion of helminth parts in feces;
- itching in the anus.
These symptoms should alert anyone and make you think about seeing a professional. Only a specialist in the field of diagnosis of such diseases will be able to answer the question of what is the treatment for a specific parasitic infection in adults.
Types of parasites in humans
To know how to treat it, it is important to understand what type of parasite in adults we are dealing with. There are several varieties of helminthic invasions, which differ in both symptoms and effects on the human body.
There are the following types of parasites:
- worms, itching in the anus, is a sign of infection with small worms;
- trichinella, enter the muscle mass through the vessels and cause swelling and pain;
- whipworm, a source of problems with the gastrointestinal tract;
- 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-processed food and non-compliance with hygiene rules. The presence of pets also often leads to parasite infestation.
The attending physician, who discovered the symptoms of damage to the body, must confirm the diagnosis with the help of laboratory tests. For this, scrapings from the anus region, fecal exams for worm eggs, enzyme immunoassay, endoscopy and ultrasound are used.
treatment methods
People who want to be cured of an unpleasant problem choose a medical method or traditional medicine. It should be noted that the combined treatment of worms will also be effective, after consultation with the observing 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 it is not the body that needs to be treated, but the removal of parasites from it that interferes with its normal functioning.
Therefore, drugs for worms are aimed at suppressing the functions of their vital activity or the ability to absorb nutrients, which leads to death.
According to this principle, they are divided into the following types:
- in the muscle tissue of the parasites, the drug blocks nerve impulses;
- they do not allow the absorption of glucose, which leads to the death of the parasites;
- blocks the intestine of worms;
- affect movement ability.
Furthermore, the drugs are largely targeted and focused on a specific type of parasite. Based on experience, treatment methods and laboratory results, the attending physician chooses a specific drug for each case.
Long-acting antiparasitic drugs are used to stop its growth by blocking metabolic processes.
A narrower range of anthelmintic drugs affects tapeworms.
In addition to preparations for worms, agents that eliminate allergic reactions from the body are used in the treatment of invasions. They allow to reduce the general intoxication of the body when eliminating worms in adults and aim to reduce symptomatic phenomena. Medications for the treatment of the patient, as well as the procedure for taking them, are selected by the doctor individually, taking into account the process of the course of helminthiasis.
Medications containing mebendazole are used for enterobiasis and trichuriasis. Medicines containing diethylcarbamazine are suitable for the treatment of filariasis, including diseases of the organs of vision and the lymphatic system. Medications containing Levamisole are used for hookworm and ascariasis. Bephenia hydroxynaphthoate is used against roundworms. And piperazine adipate gives a good effect on ascaris and enterobiasis.
Tablet preparations containing albendazole bring relief from echinococci and cysticercosis. In difficult cases of helminthiasis, therapy is carried out using: hemodez, glucose solutions. Cordiamin 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 applicable to a specific case. It is very important not to hide the problem and at the slightest symptom similar to worm infection, consult a doctor.
Alternative treatments
Drug treatment, while effective, has side effects. There are people for whom drugs are contraindicated.
For this case, we will consider non-drug treatment methods, namely:
- Ayurveda;
- oxygen treatment;
- treatment based on alcoholic beverages.
Ayurveda not only normalizes vitality and increases the overall tone of the body, but also serves as a method to get rid of worms.
The cause of helminth infection, according to the followers of this teaching, is the lack of hygiene and purity of thoughts. Impure, evil thoughts, laziness and discouragement are the causes of the body's lowered resistance to outside 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 spices and hot decoctions with food. Thyme, wormwood and St. John's wort will be very helpful. After a week, you can repeat the laxative decoctions again 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 that a special tube is inserted into the esophagus and oxygen is pumped through it. This procedure is repeated for several days and promotes the expulsion of parasites, while saturating the cells of the gastrointestinal tract with oxygen.
For this, ozone therapy is also used, but the tube is inserted into the anus and an ozone-oxygen mixture is supplied, which acts on the parasites in a paralyzing way. It is also possible to use enemas with 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, drinking it on an empty stomach along with a laxative. A large tablespoon of brandy is drunk for five days, and ten days later a second course is taken.
A good remedy for helminths is vodka, with heads of garlic infused in it. It is applied by a large tablespoon for ten days.
