Worms helminths belong to several groups of parasites, which, penetrating into the human body, feed on it, emit poisonous toxins (waste products).
The most common worms in the world are pinworms (enterobiasis) and roundworms (ascariasis).
Worms affect a variety of internal organs of the human body:
- Gastrointestinal tract;
- muscle tissue;
- liver;
- lungs;

The presence of parasites in a young, growing body leaves a negative imprint on the state of children's health.
Intoxication of a childish, blooming organism makes a nervous, dull person out of a child, susceptible to various diseases of all tissues and organs.
In order to get rid of parasites, you need to undergo a full course of special treatment.

- skin rashes;
- stool disorders (bloating, flatulence, diarrhea, constipation);

If you have helminthiasis, a parasitologist can determine the type of specific worms.
