Parasites in the human body can cause serious harm to human health. But you can beat them. The key in this matter is timely detection and proper treatment.
Parasites in the human body: a danger to health
In most cases, people do not realize that they have parasites in their body. Moreover, parasites choose not only the intestine as a habitat, but also other internal organs - the liver, gallbladder, and others. Helminthic invasion is not symptomatic until a certain time, without causing certain difficulties. But, nevertheless, it should be understood that infection in worms or worms can cause serious disorders of the nervous and digestive systems, skin diseases and allergies, as well as provoke deterioration of metabolic processes and premature aging of the body. According to some scientists, the presence of helminths prevents the treatment of many diseases.
Parasite eggs enter the human body through dirty hands, unwashed vegetables and fruits, contaminated fish and meat, dirty water, blood-sucking insects, and through contact with soil. To prevent the appearance of parasites in the body, special attention should be paid to precautions in dealing with pets - cats and dogs.
Signs of a parasitic infection
In most cases, helminthiasis, which is an infection of the body with parasites, is characterized by the appearance of problems in the activity of the digestive system, general weakness, and restlessness. But similar signs can indicate other diseases. By the way, dental bites at night, which can also be associated with symptoms of worm infections, sometimes occur due to improper bites, otorhinolaryngological diseases or nerve disorders. And sharp weight loss in worm-infected patients has been observed at an advanced stage. The danger of helminths lies in the fact that they have the ability to disguise themselves well. However, you should know what symptoms indicate the infection in this worm or the type of worm.

At least the suspicion that a parasite has appeared in the body, you should immediately seek help from a specialist who will perform the necessary tests and give appropriate treatment.
Remedies for parasites: diagnosis and treatment with drugs
Any parasites cannot exist independently and consume their "host" resources. Therefore, if the test results show that the parasite has settled in the body, you can not delay the visit to the hospital. 
The treatment process is not easy, so it is best to implement it under expert supervision. Self-medication for parasites such as tinctures or enemas will not give positive results. An efficient and qualified approach will prevent the transition of helminthiasis to the stage of chronic disease.
Before starting drug treatment, the doctor recommends that the patient suffer from stool, urine, blood and sputum for laboratory tests. In addition, she will be given procedures such as ultrasound, tomography, endoscopy, and enzyme immunoassay. If worms are found in the body, the eosinophil content in the blood increases, and worm eggs appear in the stool. After examining the test results, the doctor determines the type of parasite that is infected by the body. To get rid of each, separate treatments are prescribed. Usually, in such cases, the doctor prescribes a complex therapy, including reception:
- antelmintic drugs against parasites, aimed at fighting certain types of parasites;
- enzymes, hepatoprotectors, vitamins and drugs that increase the body's defenses;
- drugs that increase intestinal motility, as well as the process of bile secretion.
For maximum effectiveness, your doctor may recommend a gradual treatment:
- The first stage involves adherence to a special diet and the start of medication to clear the gastrointestinal tract and improve gallbladder function.
- The next step is direct therapy, which consists of taking a doctor's prescription.
- And the last stage is the removal of destroyed worms from the body.
Once all the parasites in the body have been destroyed and removed, it may be necessary to restore important vital functions and strengthen the immune system. Activated carbon or enterosgel can be used to remove toxins. And to increase immunity weakened by fighting disease, immunomodulators are prescribed. Treatment of helminthiasis is cyclical, and re-examination should be done only after one and a half to two months.
Used in alternative medicine recipes, medicines for parasites such as onions with garlic can help in the fight against worms, but only as a way to increase human immunity.
