Worm infections, also known as helminth infections, are caused by parasitic worms that can live in the human body. These worms can be transmitted through contaminated food, water, soil, or feces, and can cause a range of symptoms depending on the type of worm and the severity of the infection.
Symptoms of worm infections can include abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, anemia, and fatigue. In some cases, worms may cause skin rash or itching, or may be visible in stool or vomit.
Treatment for worm infections will depend on the type of worm and the severity of the infection. Some types of worms, such as pinworms and tapeworms, can be treated with medication, while others may require more aggressive treatment such as surgery.
Preventing worm infections involves practicing good hygiene habits, such as washing hands regularly with soap and water, avoiding contaminated food and water sources, and cooking meat to a safe temperature. It is also important to practice safe sex and to avoid contact with contaminated soil or feces.
If you suspect that you may have a worm infection, it is important to seek medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment. A healthcare provider can evaluate your symptoms and recommend an appropriate course of treatment to help you recover.
