The dynamics of the development of helminthiosis in the human body is often accompanied by certain manifestations of the vital activity of worms that help in time to diagnose a dangerous lesion. However, sometimes there are precedents of the so-called "hidden current", when a person for a long time can not guess about the presence of parasites.
Although even in such situations, often some symptoms of infection with worms are still present, but can be misinterpreted or simply ignored. For example, if a person has a fever or lymph nodes increase, he does not immediately suspect that he has worms and will contact the appropriate specialist.
Among the other most common manifestations, the presence of at least two or three of these at the same time indicates the infection with worms, it is worth noting:
- sudden changes in body weight associated with increased or decreased appetite;
- deterioration of digestion, flatulence;
- weakening of protective reactions of the body( it is also evidenced by altered lymph nodes);
- appearance of an allergic rash, general deterioration of the skin;
- yellow color of tooth enamel, eye proteins, facial skin;
- nerve disorders, weakness and depressive conditions.
It should also be noted that the spread of worms is also affected by the low level of hygiene culture of our society, and elementary medical ignorance( for example, most patients do not even know what are lymph nodes and what functions they perform), as well as unwillingness or inability to listento own organism, to understand its needs and to recognize alarming signs.
Will lymph nodes help detect worms?
Doctors-toxicologists quite often face the fact that patients are interested in the question - can lymph nodes grow from worms? Indeed, in a number of cases they tend to become larger, as a result of the direct reaction of the body to the presence of toxic products of parasite metabolism in it.
When entering the lymphatic ducts, these aggressive substances are blocked in the nodes, where they are "neutralized" by the action of immune cells-macrophages. But if too many harmful infections or foreign bodies get into the node, inflammation occurs in it.
The most common inflammation occurs in areas of the human body, such as:
- the place of flexion of the limb;
- neck;
- submandibular site;
- thoracic and abdominal cavities.
It is quite easy to detect a changed lymph node - it is palpated by ordinary palpation, and in most cases it is also painful.
In general, a lymph node that has grown in size is an indication that the body is actively fighting against foreign cells( toxins produced by worms) that have entered it and tries to defeat the infection. But, in any case, it is necessary to identify the cause of inflammation of the lymph node, and begin the appropriate therapy.
Is it dangerous to increase lymph nodes in worms?
As evidenced by medical practice, the lymph node in worms can increase - although this phenomenon is not an unambiguous and clear sign of helminthiosis. Put the right diagnosis and understand why the lymph nodes become inflamed, perhaps only when studying the full picture of the development of symptoms and conducting thorough tests.
In no case is it recommended to engage in self-diagnosis, and as its consequence, self-treatment of worms. It should be remembered that helminthiasis is not only a dangerous disease, but also difficult to predict in its development.
Modern medicine does not yet have the capabilities of its one hundred percent prevention or complete elimination. Worms continue to penetrate into the human body, parasitizing on its life resources and gradually destroying. Therefore, do not ignore any anxious manifestation that indicates critical changes in your health.
If lymph nodes are inflamed, there must be a reason for this, and it should be identified. One of these causes may be worms. The next step should be an effective, thoughtful treatment aimed at eliminating parasites and products of their vital functions from the gastrointestinal tract, as well as a complex process of rehabilitation of the body.
