Diagnosis of the presence of parasites in the body

Parasites in the body are due to micronutrients and nutrients in our intestines. There are many types of them. The most common are worms, worms, trichophytosis and trichocephalus. The symptoms of problems in humans are different from the many types of parasites. For example, parasites that starve us by eating the food we eat cause anemia by feeding on blood cells, while others cause itching and insomnia by laying eggs in the body. Therefore, the most important thing in the treatment of parasites is to find the root cause (parasite) that is causing your body problems.

Signs of the presence of parasites in the body

  • appearance of constipation or diarrhea, possibly other signs of abnormal bowel function;
  • develops diarrhea while traveling in other countries;
  • your intestinal function changed after food poisoning;
  • you have difficulty sleeping, you often wake up;
  • there are spots on the skin that are not associated with allergies or other similar skin diseases;
  • clench your teeth while sleeping;
  • there is excruciating pain in the joints and muscles;
  • feelings of fatigue, frequent attacks of depression and periodic apathy;
  • you feel hungry after eating, the body is not satiated;
  • there was anemia due to iron deficiency.

As we have seen, the symptoms are completely different, and some people attribute it to another disease and may not even think about parasites.

How to identify the parasite

First, pay attention to how you are feeling, especially the things that are bothering you. If you have intestinal problems, constipation or diarrhea, restless sleep, itchy skin, muscle aches, you must see a doctor. All the difficulties that arise in the body in the presence of parasites are associated with the release of toxins by them, which affects the normal functioning of the human body. And restless sleep and gnashing of teeth is a sign of anxiety, because the body speaks of the problem. Fecal analysis remains the primary method for detecting parasites. At the same time, a distinction is made between standard analysis and detailed analysis used in the treatment of functional disorders. Their main difference is accuracy. Standard analysis can detect a parasite only when it is alive and active. Then, if the pest dies due to the end of its life cycle or is hibernating, the standard method will not work. The result will be negative and you will be sure that you do not have any harmful microorganisms, although this will not be the case. There are no such problems because the polymerase chain reaction method is used in the detailed analysis. The method allows the detection of parasites in any conditions and does not depend on the ability of the laboratory assistant to see the pest under a microscope. Thanks to this approach, patients who receive a negative standard analysis are surprised to learn about undesirable "roommates" after PCR, which allows them to solve their health problems later.

Methods of treatment

The appropriate treatment method is determined by the doctor after receiving the test results. The course of the prescribed medication depends on which parasite you find, because what will destroy one pest will not affect the other. However, there are cases when it is not possible to identify a harmful microorganism, and then the doctor prescribes a mixture of different herbs. The most common are magnesium, tribulus extract, barberry and grapefruit extract, annual wormwood infusion, walnut extract and bear berry extract. All these items are sold in pharmacies. Mixtures work by creating bacteria that are good for the gut, which fights microorganisms that are harmful to us. If you have liver disease or have abused alcohol, check with your doctor, perhaps you should not use herbs, otherwise you should reduce the frequency and number of doses. Remember that most parasites can be identified and eliminated. Get tested on time, follow all the instructions of the attending physician and your health is guaranteed!
