Parasite symptoms

Parasites are a common type of disease. They mainly parasitize in the human intestines and cause some diseases. The most common ones are whipworms and some roundworms. There are many types of intestinal parasites, and the parasitic process in the human body is also very complicated. They do not necessarily cause lesions in the intestines, and are not limited to the harm of intestinal parasites. They are also relatively large and can cause varying degrees of weight loss and severe disease hazards.

Many gastrointestinal diseases such as abdominal pain, vomiting and indigestion symptoms, and many different intestinal diseases are caused by parasites. Therefore, timely treatment or diagnosis is necessary in daily life. Parasitic infection is mainly caused by imperfect hygiene conditions, living habits and health awareness.

1. Whipworms are common parasites in the human intestine. Mild infections usually have no obvious symptoms. When the infection is severe, patients may experience lower abdominal pain and tenderness, chronic diarrhea, and fresh or occult blood in the stool. Children with severe infection may develop rectal prolapse, anemia, malnutrition, and weight loss.

2. Amoebic dysentery is a common protozoan disease in the human intestine. Most of the infected people are asymptomatic carriers of the pathogen, but a few may have typical clinical symptoms, such as abdominal cramps and bloody and mucous stools, which may occur dozens of times a day. It may be accompanied by abdominal distension, weight loss, anemia, etc. Amebic dysentery may also be complicated by intestinal bleeding, intestinal perforation, and abscesses in the liver, lungs, brain, urogenital tract, and adjacent skin.

3. Giardiasis is a common protozoan disease in the human intestine. Most infected people are asymptomatic carriers of the pathogen. The typical symptoms of the acute phase are explosive watery diarrhea with a foul odor, often accompanied by abdominal distension, smelly farts and belching, nausea, anorexia, vomiting, fatigue, and cramps in the upper and middle abdomen. If not treated promptly, it will develop into a chronic disease, characterized by intermittent loose stools, yellow foamy stools, and a foul odor, with repeated attacks and the course of the disease can last for several years. Children may suffer from anemia and malnutrition due to diarrhea. When the worms parasitize the bile duct system, they can cause cholecystitis or cholangitis.

4. Ascariasis is a common parasitic disease in the human intestine. Patients may not experience any symptoms, but children, the weak or malnourished people are more likely to experience symptoms. Recurrent periumbilical pain is the most common symptom. Sometimes accompanied by loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and constipation. Severe infection, especially in children, can often cause malnutrition, intellectual and developmental disorders. Sometimes, mental restlessness, irritability, teeth grinding, itching, convulsions, etc. may also occur. Some patients may experience allergic reactions, such as angioedema, intractable urticaria, etc. In addition to the above symptoms, it may sometimes cause serious complications, such as biliary ascariasis, intestinal obstruction, intestinal perforation and peritonitis.

The above are the symptoms of parasites, which are mainly related to the family level and family aggregation. The unhygienic production and living styles of many people are also certain factors. The different manifestations are mainly based on the type of parasites, and they manifest differently. This is the key point in disease prevention in daily life.
