Helminthiasis is a disease in which parasites develop in the human body. With the wrong lifestyle of a person, helminths develop in the genitourinary system. Against the background of the development of parasites, a variety of diseases can appear.
The onset of pathology in the urinary cavity is diagnosed in the context of exposure to echinococci, filariae, schistosomes. In most cases, parasite infection is carried out by the fecal-oral route.
Helminths also enter the body through water or food. In most cases, the disease occurs in people who eat unwashed fruits and vegetables.
Most parasites damage the digestive system. But, there are certain types of helminthic invasions that penetrate the human urogenital system and begin to parasitize in it.
Enterobiasis belongs to the category of parasitic diseases that develop in the gastrointestinal tract. With untimely treatment of the disease, the parasites penetrate into other organs, including the genitourinary system.
The onset of the pathology is diagnosed when exposed to pinworms. The length of the worm reaches 5 millimeters.
Parasites violate the integrity of the urinary cavity walls. With a long course of the disease, patients are diagnosed with the development of bleeding. Pinworms lead to the development of severe kidney disease.
With a prolonged course of the disease, cancer is observed in the genitourinary system. In most cases, urinary incontinence is a complication of the pathology.
Filariasis is a helminth that can be up to 18 inches long. The larvae are carried by mosquitoes, which transmit them through bites.
After that, active reproduction and parasitism of helminths in the genitourinary system is observed. The disease is characterized by several stages of development.
When the larvae enter the human body, the lymph nodes swell. Also, the pathological process is accompanied by a rash on the skin.
If the disease is not treated promptly, this will lead to lymph nodes enlargement to a critical size and rupture.
A fairly common complication of the pathology is hiluria, which is accompanied by the connection of urine and lymph. After this, there is an accumulation of lymph in the abdominal cavity. In the last stage, the appearance of elephantiasis is diagnosed.
The elimination of worms abroad is done through the genitourinary system. With this disease, the patient is diagnosed with pain. Blood impurities appear in the urine.
A disease occurs when exposed to a schistosome worm, which parasitizes the circulatory system. In length, the parasite can reach 20 centimeters. Up to three thousand eggs are fertilized each day. The absorption of the larvae takes place through the walls of the urinary cavity.
Parasite infiltration is done through poor quality water. A characteristic of helminths is that they penetrate the body even through micro-wounds.
At the site of the injury, the development of an inflammatory process is observed, which is accompanied by redness and itching of the skin.
When parasites move through the genitourinary system, patients are diagnosed with the onset of malaise. Also, patients complain of pain in the abdomen.
In the next stage, the signs of the disease disappear. If 6 months have passed after infection, a small amount of blood in the urine is diagnosed, gradually increasing.
Parasitizing with schist, patients can develop cystitis, tumors in the genitourinary system, inflammation of the kidneys and the appearance of stones in them. Women can be diagnosed with genital parasite damage.
This disease develops through the consumption of unwashed fruits and vegetables. It also appears when eating raw meat and fish. The spread of parasites through the human body takes place through the blood.
During the course of pathology, a person develops unpleasant symptoms. With pathology, people complain of the appearance of discomfort and weakness even when they do their usual things.
Worms cause kidney pain. Also, patients complain of itchy skin.
If the urinary tract is affected by parasites, this leads to the appearance of the corresponding symptoms. In the early stages of the disease, severe itching occurs.
Patients may develop rashes and redness of the epithelial integument. Urogenital parasites often cause swollen lymph nodes. Infection of the bladder is not observed immediately after helminths enter the human body.
The disease is accompanied in most cases by itchy and painful rashes. In the area affected by the parasites, the epidermis may become red.
Patients complain of unpleasant sensations during intercourse. On the genitals, with the penetration of parasites, rashes appear. In women, vaginal bleeding is diagnosed.
Blood impurities appear in the urine of patients. The pathological process is accompanied by nervous disorders. During the period of emptying the bladder, patients experience pain.
Patients complain of headaches or migraines in pathology. It is often accompanied by a variety of nervous disorders. Patients complain of constant fatigue and sleep instability.
With pathology, patients have decreased appetite, which leads to rapid weight loss. The disease is accompanied by diarrhea, which can be replaced by constipation. Very often, after the penetration of parasites into the body, an increase in body temperature is observed in patients.
With parasites in the genitourinary system of a person, the development of corresponding symptoms is observed, which requires an urgent visit to the doctor.
The therapy of a pathological condition begins with a diagnosis. Instrumental and laboratory methods are used for this. Diagnosis is made 1. 5 months after the suspected infection.
It is preliminarily recommended to carry out immunological tests, with the help of which antibodies against worms are determined.
The choice of a method to treat a disease process depends directly on the type of worms caused. With cystostomosis, the disease is cured only under stationary conditions.
In this case, the use of drug therapy is carried out. It is recommended that patients be treated with special anthelmintic drugs.
To ensure complete treatment of helminth invasion, it is recommended that the patient undergo several treatment cycles.
To improve the performance of the damaged organ, symptomatic and pathogenic treatment is recommended.
If the patient becomes re-infected, therapy is carried out with antibacterial drugs belonging to the tetracycline series. To enhance the therapeutic effect, the use of antihistamines is recommended.
If a patient develops symptoms of filariasis, they should be hospitalized. To reduce lymphostasis, the swollen limb is fixed in an elevated position. At the same time, the use of compression garments is recommended.
In difficult cases, the disease is treated surgically. To eliminate the parasitic infection, the use of an antiparasitic drug is recommended.
If the patient has an allergic reaction to the drug, the simultaneous use of antihistamines is recommended.
Parasites in the genitourinary system develop in extremely rare cases. But they are quite dangerous. Therefore, when the first symptoms of helminthic invasion appear, the patient should undergo the appropriate examinations.
Only after determining the type of pathogen, the patient will be prescribed a treatment according to his individual characteristics and the severity of the pathology.
