How to withdraw pinworms from adults - treatment with drugs and folk remedies

Pinworms are the most common parasites that settle in the intestine. Most often parasites affect children, but pinworms in adults are also not excluded. When these parasites multiply, a disease occurs, called enterobiosis. Consider the symptoms of this disease and ways of treating it.

Pinworms in adults - causes of infection

The source of infection is a person who gets helminth eggs when combing itching places. In this case, people contact people by touching other people, touching household objects, door handles. Infection can also be transmitted through a handshake, bedding, toys. Sometimes there is an autoinvasion, in which the helminths again get to the patient in the body, as a result of which the further development of the disease is maintained.

Eggs of an oyster penetrate with food or drink into the intestines, where from the eggs come out heterozygous larvae. In the stomach and intestines, the larvae grow rapidly, feeding on the contents of the small intestine. After a while, up to a month, the female mates with the male. After that, it has lost the ability to stick to the wall of the intestine, so it moves into the large intestine, and then falls into the rectum.

At night the female crawls out and near the anus, laying eggs, the number of which reaches up to fifteen thousand at a time. After the main goal is reached and the eggs are laid, the female dies. And the laid eggs fall on the rim of the toilet bowl, pots, bed-clothes, clothes, toys and other items and can live on them for up to three weeks, waiting for their hour.

You can get infected:

• when combing an itchy place around the anus when the eggs fall on their hands and under their nails;
• when swallowing eggs while shaking the laundry;
• through the handshake;
• through clothes, linen, door handles, household items;
• through the food to which the eggs carried the flies;
• with pet hair, on which eggs fall along with dust;
• can occur self-inflicted when a person infects himself repeatedly if his personal hygiene rules are not respected.

Ignoring the rules of personal hygiene, long nails, eating food in bed, at the work table contribute to infection. How can you find out about their presence and how to get rid of pinworms in adults - read below.

Symptoms of

Symptoms of pinworms in adults can occur about two weeks after infection:

1. itching around the anus, usually seen at night, but with severe infection it can be disturbing at any time of the day;
2. in women itching sometimes spreads to the perineum, with a large number of parasites in the intestine;
3. after combing, inflammation may occur;
4. there are periodic pain in the intestine;
5. is sometimes observed loosening of the stool, the presence of mucus;
6. show irritability and insomnia;
7. allergic reactions occur.

In started cases, combing leads to infection with bacteria, which leads to purulent inflammation of the skin, the condition of a person can significantly worsen, the temperature rises and paraproctitis develops. Also, prolonged infection without treatment leads to intoxication, exhaustion, rapid fatigue, irritability. In women with the introduction of pinworms in the genital organs of pathogenic microorganisms, endometritis, vulvovaginitis may develop. Some people have a helminthic invasion, in which the level of hemoglobin decreases.

By the way, if you are interested in how to remove pinworms from adults, self-infection can be avoided if you perform daily intimate hygiene, change your underwear regularly, wash your hands before and after each meal and visit the toilet. This is because the life cycle of pinworms is only a few weeks, after which they die. If the colonies are not replenished, the disease goes away.

Diagnostics

Analysis of feces for eggs of worms has not been used for a long time, since it is considered an absolutely uninformative method. Eggs helminths are deposited near the anus, so the most accurate analysis is a scraping on enterobiasis, which is produced either with the help of adhesive tape, or with a cotton swab with Vaseline, in the morning, before performing hygiene procedures. However, in view of the fact that females can not lay eggs every day, these methods can also be inaccurate. Therefore, sometimes it is necessary to carry out studies three times in order to have complete information about the presence of the disease.

Treatment of pinworms in adults is carried out in a complex: medication should be accompanied by personal hygiene measures to avoid re-infection.

Currently, there are many drugs that can effectively combat parasites. However, each of them has its own contraindications and usage peculiarities, therefore a doctor should prescribe the treatment, which, when prescribing the medicine, will take into account a number of factors:

Traditional methods of treating pinworms in adults

Treatment of pinworms in adults by folk remedies has been successfully applied since ancient times. Let's consider some of the most well-known methods:

1. Pumpkin seeds are the most famous herbal remedy for breeding helminths, which everyone has heard about since childhood. During the treatment in the morning, the patient is made an enema, and in the evening they give a laxative within two days. Thus the patient on an empty stomach should eat 300 g of raw pumpkin seeds, pounded in a mortar with the addition of 100 g of honey.
2. Treatment with onions lasts a week, during which every day 110 ml of onion drink is consumed before meals. To prepare the drink, the bulb is cleaned, crushed and poured with boiling water in an amount of 220 ml.
3. Another effective folk remedy for controlling pinworms is the use of wormwood tincture. To make it, you need to pour a glass of vodka half a glass of chopped leaves of this plant. Within one week, the solution should be infused, after which it is filtered and taken over a tablespoon twice a day. Keep the tincture in a dark cool place.
4. Garlic is also very helpful in combating helminths. And, in the case of garlic treatment, you do not need to prepare any tinctures, or complex recipes. It is enough to eat on a clove of garlic on an empty stomach for both treatment and preventive purposes.
5. What should I do if I have severe disease?

In severe forms of the disease, along with medical treatment, it is necessary to use the means that will help prevent the development of complications:

• take antihistamines when there is severe itching and other allergic reactions;
• put evening enemas with soda to flush out the intestines of female parasites that may soon lay eggs;
• to prevent the appearance of toxicosis due to mass death of helminths, it is recommended to take enterosorbents.

It is quite possible to get rid of parasites with various medications. However, this is not all - it is necessary to take all possible measures to prevent re-infection. To do this, you must follow the rules of personal hygiene:

1. thorough washing of hands before and after walking, visiting the toilet, public places, eating;
2. not comb itching places;
3. cut short nails;
4. regularly conduct wet cleaning in housing;
5. boil bed and underwear;
6. ironing clothes;
7. disinfect the toilet.

If you do not comply with these simple rules, then all the effectiveness of the treatment will come to naught. It is also important to remember that the occurrence is always easier to prevent, so take care of your health in advance.

Review No.1

Treated a son, at school they identified pinworms. In the classroom, people started laughing at him, but I do not understand anything-we treat-treat, and they come back. Pirantel drank one time, the other, but I always thought it was a good remedy. And then I noticed that the son of the nails gnawed and realized that he was infecting himself all the time. So I had to take control of this issue, cut off my nails, boiled his bed, and my husband and I used to do all this for ourselves. So pirantel is really a good drug, but I want to advise everyone not to forget about the rules of hygiene.

I want to say that I was not helped by the people's means. I ate garlic, but my stomach began to ache so much that I could not stand, and then my heart was pounding, I thought I would jump out completely. Then I read about the tincture of wormwood, but I did not notice anything good either. But I bought an Intoxicum, and regretted why he had not noticed it before. I can say that a good tool helped me. And then I heard that garlic is needed more carefully, and I have gastritis, that's why I myself am to blame for the fact that my stomach was sick.

Hello, I want to share my experience of treatment. Recently, health problems have begun, the head is spinning in the morning, nausea has appeared, insomnia, loss of strength. I was upset, I thought, I'm getting quite old. I was at a doctor's, and he wrote me a referral for tests to check for parasites. When the results came, I could not believe my eyes - I have helminths. I'm so ashamed, I'm following the rules of hygiene, I wash everything out thoroughly, but suddenly it's like this. I decided to buy Baktefort first. A month later I had to be surprised again, because the results of new tests showed that I am healthy. So now she bought these drops.
