With a modern rhythm of life, people often do not pay attention to multiple mild ailments, such as joint and intestinal pain, dizziness, apathy and increased fatigue. All of them are more often associated with experiences, stresses and lack of sleep. Few people can assume that all these problems are the first symptoms of helminthic invasion, which can develop for a long time without any specific manifestations. Parasitic worms are so insidious that their presence usually resembles other diseases. Signs of helminths in the human body depend on many factors, but in any case their presence causes disgust and discomfort, so it is important to identify the parasite as soon as possible and conduct appropriate therapeutic measures to remove it.
Symptoms of worms in the human body at the first, earliest larval stages can be almost impossible to determine, since they are not able to parasitize at this time. The main signs of the disease worms appear only after the worm becomes sexually mature and begins to multiply. Manifestations of the disease are quite diverse and vary depending on which particular pathogen became the cause of the pathology and in which specific organ it is located. The characteristic worm symptoms in an adult are the following:
- Chronic subfebrile body temperature and constant headache;
- Worms cause and not explainable weight loss;
- Itching in the anus and genitalia becomes one of the first symptoms;
- Apathy, decreased performance and general weakness;
- Digestive system disorders may also occur due to the presence of helminths;
- Increased spleen, liver and lymph nodes;
- Allergic manifestations on the skin may also indicate the presence of helminthic invasion in the patient.
Some helminthiases are not accompanied at all by any symptomatology over a long period of time. So, the first signs of echinococcosis in an adult can appear after more than 6 months from the moment the worm was placed in the body. The symptomatology of helminthic invasion by echinococcus depends on the fact that it is usually localized in the liver. It is characterized by the following: the worm larva is enclosed in a chitin capsule, which gradually increases in size and squeezes adjacent structures and organs, causing nausea, intestinal distress, yellowing of the skin and pain in the right hypochondrium. All the symptoms caused by worms in the patient are well represented in numerous photos. Only at least once having looked at them, there is an irresistible desire to get rid of the presence of parasites as soon as possible and continue to prevent their penetration.
Symptoms of helminthic invasion in adults
Parasitic worms in humans live in the digestive organs, liver, can penetrate the heart, lungs and other organs. Glistular infestations are fraught with serious consequences. That there were no big problems, to reveal infection it is necessary at the earliest stage and to spend corresponding therapeutic measures. To do this, it is necessary to find out what symptoms may correspond to the damage to the human body by one or another type of worm. Although there are no specific signs of helminthiosis, but in order to timely recognize the onset of infection, it is necessary to pay attention to some disturbing manifestations.
One of the main symptoms of worms are gastrointestinal disorders. Helminths cause a number of gastrointestinal problems in children and adults, which can be seen on the photo:
- Increased gas production and flatulence;
- Stool disorders, expressed in diarrhea or constipation;
- Colitis and pain in the abdomen.
These worm symptoms in humans are caused by the fact that some types of parasites produce substances that contain hormones, which in turn cause the feces to dilute. In the event that infectious parasites block intestinal ducts, regular constipation appears.
Symptoms of the presence of worms are also expressed in metabolic disturbances. A person should be alarmed by such manifestations, when his diet rises or falls with a normal diet, and hypovitaminosis and anemia appear. Unexpected weight loss is caused by the fact that helminths absorb from the body a large number of nutrients. This also affects the fact that there is anemia or hypovitaminosis. The rapid increase in weight is due to the fact that the products of the vital activity of the worms are very toxic, because of this the body needs more food, since the poisonous products of the vital activity of the parasites are derived from its remnants. When these symptoms appear, you need to consult a specialist as soon as possible and undergo the necessary diagnostics.
The results of the human body's damage to helminths are reflected in the skin, which is very clearly visible in the photo. The hair begins to fall out, the nails become thinner and break, the skin develops a rash and papillomas. These symptoms are among the first, the most common signs that worms have appeared in the body of an adult or child.
Also, in order not to miss the appearance of parasites, one should pay attention to the negative manifestations arising from the nervous, immune and respiratory systems. Worms present in a person cause him to develop psychological symptoms such as sleep disorders, fatigue, reduced efficiency and memory impairment. Because of problems with immunity, chronic diseases worsen, and the sign of respiratory damage is frequent colds, pneumonia, bronchitis and a prolonged dry cough.
If you ignore these basic symptoms, indicating a possible defeat by worms, and do not begin adequate treatment, the consequences can be the most deplorable. Parasites, as a result of their vital activity, produce toxins that act destructively on many organs. Consequences of infection can be intestinal necrosis, thrombosis, stroke, heart attack and brain atrophy. In addition, the symptom of worms can be called the formation of cysts, the rupture of which leads to anaphylactic shock.
