蟯虫を駆除する方法：原因、17の家庭薬+予防

蟯虫は、人間の一般的な感染源である寄生虫です。これらは通常約0.5インチのサイズで、肉眼で簡単に見ることができます。子供はこの感染症にかかるリスクが高くなります（1）。ただし、必要な予防措置を講じないと、成人もこれらの伝染性ワームに感染する可能性があります。

あなたの子供は蟯虫を抱えていますか？この感染症の迅速で簡単な治療法をお探しですか？蟯虫の原因と症状、および感染症の治療に使用できる簡単な家庭薬のいくつかについて詳しく知るために読んでください。

注： 蟯虫感染症は通常、治るまでに1週間かかる場合があります。一晩で治療することはできません。蟯虫をすばやく駆除する唯一の方法は薬です。ただし、これらの治療法は、危険因子なしで感染症を治療するために使用できます。

蟯虫とは何ですか？

シャッターストック

蟯虫は、感染した個人の結腸と直腸に生息する小さくて白い虫です。それらは Enterobiusvermicularis とも呼ばれ、感染症は通常、 蟯虫 症または 蟯虫 症として知られています。

蟯虫による感染症は伝染性が高く、蟯虫が産んだ小さな卵を摂取した結果です。子供は子供に対してより脆弱ですが、大人にも感染を引き起こす可能性があります（2）。

この寄生虫感染の原因を理解するために読んでください。

蟯虫の原因は何ですか？

蟯虫感染症は、人間または動物による卵の偶発的な吸入または摂取によってのみ引き起こされます。これらの卵は通常、汚染された食品、飲料、またはその他の感染した器具を介して移されます。卵は非常に小さく、肉眼では見ることができません（3）。

彼らがあなたの体に入ると、彼らは孵化し、数週間以内に成虫に変わります。成虫は体内を動き続け、感染者の肛門領域の周りにさらに卵を産みます。これらは数時間以内に感染性になります。このサイクルは、感染が治癒し、感染した個人の世帯全体が消毒されるまで続きます。

ここで、蟯虫に感染した個人に見られる一般的な兆候と症状のいくつかを見ていきます。

蟯虫の兆候と症状

• 肛門領域の頻繁なかゆみと刺激
• 肛門領域の炎症による睡眠障害
• 便中の蟯虫の存在
• 吐き気と時折の腹痛
• ワームは夜に産卵するため、睡眠不足による過敏性と落ち着きのなさ。

蟯虫は、長期的には非常に刺激的で厄介なものになる可能性があります。したがって、その発症を観察したらすぐに状態を治療することが最善です。下記の自然で費用効果の高い治療法は、蟯虫感染症に対処するのに役立ちます。これらの家庭薬のいくつかは、蟯虫への影響を裏付ける科学的データを持っていません。それらは事例証拠に基づいています。したがって、医師に相談することが重要です。また、治療を進める前に、どの成分にもアレルギーがないことを確認してください。

These home remedies can help accelerate your recovery from pinworm infection. Additionally, you need to follow some tips to avoid the recurrence of the infection. They are as follows.

Tips To Prevent Pinworms

• Include foods that are rich in fiber in your diet. Raw vegetables, such as carrots and cabbages, whole fruits, and grains can increase the efficiency of treatments against pinworms.
• Consuming probiotic foods, like yogurt and buttermilk, can help in the elimination of pinworms from your system.
• Everyone in an infected household must adopt hygienic practices like washing their hands before every meal, showering daily, washing clothes with hot water, and cleaning the washrooms daily to prevent the spreading of the infection.
• The infected person’s household must be disinfected completely in every way possible. From vacuuming the carpeted areas to scrubbing the floors and changing all the sheets and towels, the entire household must be cleaned following a recovery from pinworms to avoid reinfestation.

Making these lifestyle changes will prove beneficial in the long run and prevent the recurrence of pinworms.

If left untreated for a long period, pinworms are known to lead to some complications that may range in their severity. Some of these complications are as follows.

Long-Term Side Effects Of Pinworms

• Urinary tract infection: Pinworms can enter the urethra and infect your bladder (29).
• Weight loss: As we are aware, pinworms are parasites that feed on the host’s nutrition. This may lead to weight loss in the affected individuals.
• Pelvic inflammatory diseases: Pinworms may cause pelvic inflammatory diseases in females by infecting the linings of the fallopian tubes or ovaries (30).
• Recurring infestations: One of the major drawbacks of a pinworm infection is its ability to resurface if proper hygiene is not maintained by infected individuals and their family members.

Now that you know the complications caused by pinworms when left untreated, it is better to be aware of and treat the infection at the earliest. The remedies mentioned in this article can only complement your medication and not replace it. Hence, consult your doctor to understand which remedy can help accelerate your recovery.

Expert’s Answers For Readers’ Questions

How to tell if you have worms in your stool?

The presence of small, white, thread-like structures confirms the presence of worms in your stool.

What does it feel like to have worms under your skin?

If you feel an itchy and crawling sensation under your skin, there is a possibility that you are infested with worms. However, in some cases, the reason for these sensations could be a minor insect bite, diabetes, or even skin or nerve damage. Always discuss any concerns with your doctor.
