People who are faced with the problem of sudden alopecia, no doubt, are concerned about the causes of this phenomenon. In particular, many men and women are wondering whether worms can cause hair loss. Let's try to understand.
Can hair fall out due to worms? They, like the skin, before other human systems respond to any disruptions in the work of organs. Helminths are parasites that live at the expense of humans, so their appearance in the body can not remain unnoticed for the gastrointestinal tract( the favorite habitat of parasitic worms), the respiratory and immune system. With the advent of these "roommates", not only the work of all internal organs, but even the composition of blood, feces and urine changes. Therefore it is quite understandable why the concepts of worms and hair loss are bordering. From what worms hair fall out?
Trichologists argue that hair loss in helminths is possible only if the parasitizing worm is bovine tapeworm. This species is especially dangerous for the body, as it leads to serious abnormalities in the work of the digestive tract, weakens immunity, promotes a sharp drop in protein in the blood and, as a result, sudden thinning of the head of hear. However, experts are sure that if hair loss occurs in worms, this process is not necessarily a consequence of the presence of parasites. Associated with the problem of fragility and tarnishing ringlets can be caused by other reasons, which can help identify tests prescribed by a dermatologist or trichologist.
Why people continue to excite the question: "Is hair loss typical in the presence of worms?".This can be explained by the fact that parasitic invasion has a very wide range of symptoms, including skin rashes, conjunctivitis, gastrointestinal and other internal disorders, depressive states, irritability and much more. At the same time, the causes of thinning hair are on the list of not less than a few items, including unbalanced nutrition, poor ecology, stress. The consequences and symptoms of helminthiosis often overlap with the causes of hair loss, so many people try to combine these two concepts.
What should I do if I suspect a worm, and what if I have hair loss? No doubt, in both cases one should apply for qualified help: with helminths - to the parasitologist, with baldness - to the trichologist. The specialist will identify the causes of the ailments and prescribe the treatment, while self-medication can adversely affect the body's condition and aggravate the problem.
