Every day, a lot of pathogenic micro-creatures enter our body. Among these are the larvae of various parasites. If everything is in order with the human immune system, these harmful worms die and are excreted along with the waste products. But if there are problems with the immune system, bacteria, microbes and larvae of all kinds of parasites successfully take root on the walls of internal organs and begin to grow and multiply, poisoning the body and sucking health out of it.
Preparation
If a person decides to cleanse the body, regardless of the method of cleaning, you need to prepare for this procedure. To start cleaning, you need to be sure that the worms are really wound up inside the person. The presence of symptoms of helminthiasis is not an indicator for starting treatment. It is also important to find out what kind of parasite lives in the body. The choice of the most optimal treatment depends on the diagnosis.
To find out whether parasites really live in the body, in addition to the usual laboratory examination of feces for helminthiasis, it is necessary to carry out other modern medical diagnostics for an accurate diagnosis.
After the examination, about 10 days before treatment, you need to switch to a healthy and light diet (remove sweets, spicy and fatty foods, semi-finished products from the diet). It is advisable to exclude meat on these days by switching to fruits and vegetables. It is also important to provide the body with moisture. To do this, you should drink 2-3 liters of pure water per day, treat other types of liquid with caution: you should not drink strong teas, coffee, carbonated and alcoholic drinks. But herbal infusions will be useful. It is also necessary to get rid of constipation with enemas.
Combating parasites with medications
There are many techniques for getting rid of parasites. Some of them are more effective, others less. Classical medicine offers medication. Unlike traditional healing methods, synthetic drugs are more effective in the fight against helminths and are safe for the body.
All medicines for worms for a person can be conditionally divided into two groups: which immediately kill the parasite, and which paralyze his body. All drugs for worms are divided into two types: narrowly targeted and broad-spectrum drugs. Almost all anthelminthic agents have an extensive effect on the body and help get rid of various types of parasites.
There is also another classification of narrowly targeted drugs:
- Protivocestodozny - help in the fight against flat worms;
- Anti-nematous - kill the roundworm species;
- Protivotrematodozny - fight against fluke worms.
Peculiarities of drug treatment
The main specificity of getting rid of parasites from the body with the help of medicines is that the cleansing takes place in several stages: the preparatory, directly therapy itself and the final, rehabilitation period.
During the first stage, it is necessary to prepare the body for cleansing from worms. For this, laxative drugs are used, which help to remove toxins and traces of parasites from the body with waste products. For this, doctors prescribe the intake of funds based on vegetable oils (pumpkin, flax). Absorbents are also used. Sometimes in the recipe you can see a choleretic drug that adversely affects parasites, accelerates the production of bile.
This is followed by the second stage, during which the parasites get rid of themselves with the use of drugs of a narrow and wide spectrum. The type of medication directly depends on the age of the patient, the location of the worms, the intensity of the damage to the body, the stage of development of worms and their type. There are three groups of anthelmintic drugs: nitramidazole, nitrofuran and benmidazole.
After the body is cleansed, it is necessary to undergo a rehabilitation period, which will help to restore the correct functioning of the intestines and eliminate inflammatory processes. Also, the patient needs to take vitamins and minerals.
Contraindications and complications of drug treatment
Almost all drugs can be taken as prescribed by a doctor, not in a hospital, but at home. But before taking any antiparasitic agent to cleanse the body, you need to understand that they are poison not only for "ill-wishers", but for a person as well. Therefore, taking almost all of these drugs has side effects: nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, dizziness. Chills, swelling, impaired coordination of movement, convulsions, hallucinations, impaired consciousness are also observed.
As for contraindications, they are strictly prohibited for people with liver, kidney, heart disease.
Nowadays there is not a single standard of helminthiasis therapy. The doctor prescribes a separate treatment for each patient, guided by laboratory tests.
