Worms can parasitize in various organs and systems. Yes, the most common location is all parts of the gastrointestinal tract, but cases where the larva migrate through the circulatory system are frequent, and parasites find themselves in the muscles, bile ducts, eyes and even the heart. Some parasites settle under the skin of a person, causing inflammation and itching.
Removal of intestinal worms is an uncomplicated exercise that can be performed under the supervision of a specialist during one course of taking a special drug at home. And what if the parasite chose a different body system by its "place of residence"?
If worms are not settled in the intestines, tablets or folk remedies can not be avoided. In this case, the only way to remove worms can be an operation. Consider the most frequent cases of helminthiosis, when treatment is performed surgically.
Worm removal from under skin
The difficulty in diagnosing subcutaneous parasites is that their presence is not determined by laboratory tests.
A subcutaneous worm can be in the incubation stage for a long time: from a month to several years, so patients often can not accurately name the time of occurrence of complaints. In addition, some dermatologists, who have not previously encountered such a problem, perceive tubercles on the surface of the skin as another disease, so they prescribe a therapy that is far from necessary. Only an infectious parasitologist can make the correct diagnosis and begin treatment, which consists in removing the worm surgically.
Treatment of subcutaneous parasites by surgery is very effective. These parasites can not reproduce in the human body, so the operation not only contributes to the disappearance of symptoms, but also helps to completely cure.
Removal of worm larvae from the eyes
One of the frequent places of parasitizing worms in the body are the organs of vision. Most often, infection occurs by accident:
- through dirty hands;
- with a gust of wind( some insects throw out larvae on the fly);
- through insects, for example, during sleep a fly, a carrier of larvae, crawled over the face;
- when washing the face and eyes from a natural body of water.
To suspect the presence of a worm in the eye helps the swelling of the eyelids, conjunctivitis, redness of the eye protein. In some cases, a serious mias is formed, leading to a serious damage to the organ of vision.
To remove the larva, the ophthalmologist performs an operation that involves dissection of the eyelid skin or an incision of the mucous membrane of the eye, depending on the location of the worm. A simple operation to remove the worms is carried out under local anesthesia. Video manipulation specialist can be seen below. It is much more difficult to diagnose an ailment, therefore, with reddening of the eyelid, itching and painful sensations in the eye, it is recommended that you immediately consult an oculist.
Removal of worms from the heart, spinal cord, lungs and other organs
When the muscles, heart, spinal cord and other organs are damaged by worms, it is quite difficult to immediately diagnose the correct diagnosis. For example, when a larva enters the heart or lung, the incubation period of the parasite takes some time. Further, the parasite develops and grows, causing the patient to have various symptoms. Narrow specialists, in this case, the cardiologist and phthisiatrist may not recognize the ailment, since its manifestations may be twins of the symptoms of many other diseases. To identify the true cause of a patient's malaise with helminthiasis of this form will be helped only by ultrasound or X-ray examination or MRI.
After the diagnosis is made, an operation is performed to remove the worms, since it is difficult to "pull" them out of the internal organs by other means. Frequent cases, when even the "transmission" of the diseased organ did not reveal the presence of worms. Parasites were detected during a routine operation on the organ. Removal of worms from internal systems and organs is carried out under general anesthesia.
Intestinal worm removal
In some particularly difficult cases, it is almost impossible to remove intestinal worms with folk remedies or tablets at home. This happens when there are a lot of them. In this case, the helminths form a "tangle", preventing the normal operation of the intestine. To get rid of parasites will help only the operation to remove them. On the video, you can observe what manipulations the surgeon is carrying out to cleanse the intestine from parasites. Such operations are performed under general anesthesia and require postoperative rehabilitation.
