The main signs of worms in humans, regardless of age, look like this:
1. Constipation, stagnation of bile. The thing is that many worms, due to their rather large size and bizarre shape, are able to close the intestinal lumen, as well as the ducts of all bile ducts, resulting in impaired peristalsis, constipation, and intestinal obstruction, complete or partial. Worm infestations can cause blockage of the bile ducts and provoke the development of the so-called obstructive jaundice.
2. Diarrhea. All types of worms in humans can cause loose stools - diarrhea. Therefore, this sign is considered one of the most striking characteristics of the presence of such parasites in the body. If it occurs, you should immediately undergo an examination by a specialist.
3. There are also signs of worms in humans, such as stomach and intestinal discomfort. In the body, some of these parasites move by settling in tissues and fluids, such as muscles and joint fluid. If inflammation occurs in the tissues, this is either a consequence of their injury, or the reaction of the immune system to foreign elements in the body.
4. Anemia. There are many types of helminths that cause damage to the intestinal wall when they attach themselves to it. As a result, there is a sufficiently serious loss of blood, which invariably leads to anemia.
5. Many experts refer to what is called “the first signs of worms in humans” with skin problems. These are all kinds of allergic dermatitis, eczema, urticaria.
6. Very often, a change in body weight is a consequence of a parasitic disease. Weight can decrease because the so-called internalconsumer lives in the body. Sometimes obesity develops, because the feeling of hunger is provoked by a sharp drop in blood glucose levels. And this phenomenon, in turn, develops due to the toxic effects of helminths on the body.
7. Such signs of worms in humans, such as nervousness and disturbances in normal sleep, are frequent companions of such an ailment. The thing is that there are significant changes in the functioning of the central nervous system, because the body is trying to get rid of unnecessary microorganisms by removing them through the liver. As a result, sleep becomes restless, sensitive, and nervousness increases.
8. Very often, patients complain of the so-called chronic fatigue syndrome. It includes increased weakness, a constant feeling of fatigue, sudden changes in body temperature, poor memory, decreased concentration, and irritability.
Keep in mindthat if at least some signs of worms are recorded in a person, he must be immediately examined and the true cause of the ailment should be identified.
If any of the family members have at least a few of these symptoms, everyone else should undergo a course of deworming (preventive or curative).
