Parasites poison the host with waste products, and unpleasant changes gradually occur in a person’s internal organs. How to deal with parasites in the human body? What drugs and methods are available to combat parasites on human organs? Let's look in detail at the methods of combating parasites.
Signs of the presence of parasites in the body
Various parasites live in the human body. Some show their presence as soon as they check in. Others live without showing any signs. It is very easy to be infected with worms, but getting rid of them is not easy. How to check for parasites? Although the parasites that live in the human body may be different, the symptoms of parasitic infections are similar. Common symptoms of the presence of helminths in the body include the following:
- unreasonable headaches;
- nausea, occasional vomiting;
- weakness, indifference;
- disorders of the digestive process;
- lack of appetite or constant craving for something to eat;
- unpleasant odor from the mouth;
- dark circles around eyes;

Often a person is treated for some kind of disease by swallowing a handful of medicine, and the cause of the discomfort is a parasite in the body. And after getting rid of the helminths, his health condition improved. Fighting parasites is an important stage in the health of the body.
Often, the human body is vulnerable to attack by individual parasites such as:
- roundworms;

The difficulty in identifying parasites is that the symptoms of the presence of helminths are similar to those of different diseases. More than a hundred parasites, from a size of a few millimeters to a few meters, settle in the human body, poisoning, injuring organs, taking away energy, nutritional components and strength.
Ways to diagnose the presence of parasites in the body
There is an opinion that it is not easy to identify parasites. In fact, the usual way - clinical analysis of feces is not always able to indicate the presence of individual parasites in the human body. Therefore, to identify individual parasites, there are such options:
- microscopic examination of feces for ovarian leaves is a non-traumatic and painless method that can be performed in any laboratory, because of its reliability it is recommended to make a diagnosis several times;
- immunological blood tests for the presence of parasites in organs according to antigen levels, ELISA;
- hardware diagnostics - ultrasound helps detect echinococcus in the human body;
- endoscopy and endobiopsy - taking a piece of tissue to determine the presence of parasitic organisms;
- PCR - diagnoses the blood for the presence of parasitic organisms in the human body.

The detection of a parasite or its fragments in the feces is very surprising, but one should not panic.
However, thanks to this, one can start fighting foreign organisms that suppress the immune system and damage health. After the release of the parasite, you should not hesitate to take it to the laboratory to the doctor of infectious diseases. Indeed, depending on the type of helminthic organism, rational treatment is prescribed. Antiparasitic therapy and equivalent medications are prescribed to maintain overall health.
