Worms in an adult are much more common than one might think. These and their wastes cause significant damage to health and can cause a variety of diseases.
Ways to get rid of the problem
You can remove worms from the human body with medication or at home, using folk remedies. Each of the methods has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, various tablets and suspensions are able to guarantee the desired result quickly, but they contain toxic substances in their composition. Folk remedies have a milder type of action, but are less effective and the healing process sometimes takes more than a week.
Medical methods of treatment
Anthelmintic tablets will help you get rid of worms quickly. They are extremely effective, but such medications can only be taken after consulting a doctor. This is because the action of most tablets can only remove one type of worm from the body. To determine this, you will need to pass special tests.
1. Round worms and nematodes
This group of pests includes the archer, the whip, and the well-known pinworms and roundworms. There are many medicines in the form of tablets or suspensions for their removal.
- Albendazole drugs.
- Worm tablets of this type may contain levamisole as the active substance.
- Mebendazole is able to remove roundworms from the body.
- High efficacy in the treatment of an adult is shown by tablets based on pamoic pyrantel.
- Commercial pirvine-based medicines are no less effective.
- Piperazine and carbendazim are also able to repel worms from the body.
Roundworms in humans can also settle outside the intestines. Then completely different pills are used.
In most cases, the above tablets only affect adult parasites. Therefore, in order to completely remove them from the body and prevent re-infection, two weeks after starting treatment, it is necessary to take the medicine again. In this case, it is very important to adhere to the doses indicated in the instructions, as anthelmintic tablets have a fairly high toxicity.
Sometimes there is a need for some additional procedures: the use of laxative or the use of an enema.
2. Get rid of the film
This group includes tapeworm, echinococcosis, concussion, tapeworm, tar, bifurcation, cellulococcus, hymenococcus, etc.
To remove them from an adult's body, it is best to use worm-based tablets based on:
- Nicozamide.
- Albendazole.
- Melakrin.
Get rid of flatworms
This group of worms includes the larynx, the Chinese groove, the lung, the liver, the cat's foal. Formulations for flatworms must be prescribed by a specialist.
Treatment with folk methods
Often people do not want to get rid of worms with drugs and use a variety of home remedies. Folk remedies are usually less effective, but do not have a strong toxic effect. In addition, they are only able to eradicate adult worms. And this means that soon the larvae in the human body can hatch and the problem will start again.
There are several ways you can treat worms at home, so consider some of the most common ones.
- It is necessary to chop the head of garlic or onion, pour a glass of cold water and let it cook overnight. You can get rid of worms by drinking the infusion that results in the morning on an empty stomach. This should be done in small sips. It is best to drain the infusion before use. It is also possible to use garlic water in the form of an enema, which is done at night.
- Herbal infusion. To prepare it, mix pumpkin seed powders and bitter wormwood leaves in a ratio of 1: 1 and pour them into a 0. 3 liter bottle. Then pour vodka to the top and close the lid tightly. The product should be kept warm or in the sun. At the same time, it is important to shake it periodically. The drug prepared in this way at home is ready for use in a week. Take it twice a day half an hour before meals (lunch and dinner). The dose needed to get rid of parasites is 50 grams at a time.
- Folk remedies can also help eliminate tapeworms and roundworms. To do this, on an empty stomach, you need to eat at least two nuts daily.
- You can also defeat worms at home with the help of an enema. To prepare it, you have to make a porridge of garlic or onions and finely chop the weed. 50 grams of the resulting mixture should be poured into 0. 5 liters of boiling milk. The tool should then be injected for half an hour in wrapped form. After that, the milk is filtered and used as an enema solution. It is best to do it at night.
- A more complicated way that people use at home is the following. You need to grate 100 grams of peeled pumpkin seeds into porridge, add 2 tablespoons of honey and half a glass of water to them. Use the resulting mixture in the morning on an empty stomach. Then, for three hours, eat a tablespoon every 60 minutes. After the last dose, take a laxative. After another 1-2 hours, you should put an enema. As a result, the worms in the body die and are removed from it as soon as possible.
Pharmaceutical prevention of parasites
The tablets are undoubtedly very effective against worms. But many doctors today oppose their use for preventive purposes. The only exceptions are when:
- worms were found in one of the family members.
- there are animals in the house.
- a person comes in contact with the earth very often.
- the child goes to kindergarten, school or other institutions where there is a large number of children.
- Family members love fishing, hunting, active beach games or just the fresh air (football, volleyball, etc. ).
In such situations, the chance of worms appearing on the body is quite high. As a prophylactic drug, it is recommended to take a drug with pyrantel, as it affects those groups of parasites that are most common.
General precautionary measures
For those who are accustomed to taking pills only if there is a problem, following a few simple rules will help protect them as much as possible from the appearance of worms:
- Observe personal hygiene, wash your hands after using the toilet.
- Try to eat at home. This is not about visiting or cafes, but about snacks on the street.
- Fruits, vegetables and berries should be washed well before eating.
- Meat and fish must be cooked according to all the rules. They must be heat treated for disinfection by potential helminth larvae.
