Helminthic infestation - an invasion of parasites

Is it not true that in the word "invasion" there is something hostile, predatory; from the same series as “intervention”, “infection”. So it is - this term refers to the penetration of various parasites into the body, as well as the diseases they cause. Well, the worms do not need special ideas - everyone knows them and hardly anyone will say a kind word to them. And, unfortunately, regardless of our relationship to them, they are constant companions of mankind throughout its history, and helminthic invasion is one of the most common diseases in the whole world.

Of course, the opinion that infection occurs due to non-observance of personal hygiene is reasonable and true in nature. But, unfortunately, not only sluts are sick and dirty. This enemy is insidious, cunning and dodgy, he is an opportunist and a saboteur, able to overcome even reliable defensive structures. You will never know exactly when it penetrated your body, because it immediately lurks and will soon manifest itself. And at one not-so-wonderful moment, turning to a doctor because of an ailment, you will be surprised to hear the diagnosis: helminthic invasion. The symptoms of the disease are quite diverse - from fever and cough to abdominal pain and weakness - so not even every doctor can immediately determine that these little creatures became the cause of your poor condition.

However, not so small! If pinworms known to us since childhood do not exceed 1 centimeter in length, then roundworms "extort" already up to 25 centimeters. But this is still nothing, but tapeworms of ten meters - this is not for the faint of heart. And after all, such a monster can live inside the human body, without externally giving out its presence, but "undermining" the owner from the inside, sucking out all the juices from it in the literal sense - worms drink tissue juices and blood, nutrients. It turns out that feeding on itself, the infected feeds its parasites, and itself receives less valuable trace elements. But helminthic invasion is dangerous not only this. Like any living creatures, worms in the process of life produce certain substances that are toxic and poisonous to humans. But they are absorbed into the bloodstream and then spread to all organs, therefore the manifestations of the disease are so different.

Lack of appetite, nausea, abdominal pain, upset stool - this can be enterobiosis caused by pinworms, or ascariasis, which are called “provocateurs”. Fever, muscle pain, allergic reactions - similar to trichinosis - a dangerous disease, also named "in honor" of its pathogen. General exhaustion, anemia, neurotic reactions, digestive upset - it is likely that one of the tapeworms “worked”. All these and many other painful manifestations are combined in one group, one ailment, whose name is helminthic invasion. Treatment should be started immediately, as soon as the disease is detected, because delay is sometimes fraught with dangerous complications, in some cases up to death.

How is helminthic invasion treated? Of course, the removal of symptoms will not do anything, because a living creature sits inside the patient, continuously continuing his destructive activity. Therefore, the invader must be driven away! As a rule, complex treatment is prescribed. First, the patient’s body is prepared for the removal of worms, using vegetable oils, preparations Allohol, Enterosgel. Then, a “release operation" is carried out directly using various anthelmintic agents of both natural and pharmaceutical origin. And the third stage, after which helminthic invasion should already be completely defeated, involves the medical restoration of the functions of the affected organs. The body is cleansed, metabolism is normalized, immunity is stimulated - in a word, there is a real "peaceful construction in the territories destroyed during the war with the interventionists".
