핀웜을 제거하는 방법 : 원인, 17 가지 가정 요법 + 예방

요충은 인간의 일반적인 감염 원인 기생충입니다. 일반적으로 약 0.5 인치 크기이며 육안으로 쉽게 볼 수 있습니다. 아이들은이 감염에 걸릴 위험이 더 높습니다 (1). 그러나 성인이 필요한 예방 조치를 취하지 않으면 이러한 전염성 웜에 감염 될 수도 있습니다.

아이가 요충을 품고 있습니까? 이 감염에 대한 빠르고 쉬운 치료법을 찾고 있습니까? 요충의 원인과 증상과 감염 치료에 사용할 수있는 간단한 가정 요법에 대해 자세히 알아 보려면 계속 읽으십시오.

참고: 요충 감염이 사라지는 데 일반적으로 1 주일이 소요될 수 있습니다. 밤새 치료할 수 없습니다. 약물은 요충을 빨리 제거하는 유일한 방법입니다. 그러나 이러한 치료법은 위험 요소없이 감염을 치료하는 데 사용할 수 있습니다.

Pinworms는 무엇입니까?

요충은 감염된 개인의 결장과 직장에 사는 작고 흰 벌레입니다. 그들은 또한 Enterobius vermicularis 라고 불리며 감염은 일반적으로 enterobiasis 또는 helminthiasis로 알려져 있습니다.

요충에 의한 감염은 전염성이 매우 높으며, 요충이 낳은 작은 알을 섭취 한 결과입니다. 아이들은 그들에게 더 취약하지만 성인에게도 감염을 일으킬 수 있습니다 (2).

이 기생충 감염의 원인을 이해하려면 계속 읽으십시오.

Pinworms의 원인은 무엇입니까?

요충 감염은 사람이나 동물이 우연히 알을 흡입하거나 섭취 한 경우에만 발생합니다. 이 알은 일반적으로 오염 된 음식, 음료 또는 기타 감염된기구를 통해 전달됩니다. 알은 매우 작아 육안으로 볼 수 없습니다 (3).

일단 몸에 들어가면 몇 주 안에 부화하여 성충으로 변합니다. 성충은 체내에서 계속 움직이고 감염된 사람의 항문 주변에 더 많은 알을 낳으며, 이들은 몇 시간 내에 감염됩니다. 이주기는 감염이 치료되고 감염된 개인의 전체 가정이 소독 될 때까지 계속됩니다.

이제 요충에 감염된 개인에서 관찰되는 몇 가지 일반적인 징후와 증상을 살펴 보겠습니다.

Pinworms의 징후와 증상

• 항문 부위의 잦은 가려움과 자극
• 자극받은 항문 부위로 인한 수면 방해
• 대변에 핀웜의 존재
• 메스꺼움 및 간헐적 복통
• 벌레는 밤에 알을 낳기 때문에 수면 부족으로 인한 과민 반응과 안절부절 못함.

요충은 장기적으로 매우 짜증나고 문제가 될 수 있습니다. 따라서 발병을 관찰하자마자 상태를 치료하는 것이 가장 좋습니다. 아래에 언급 된 자연스럽고 비용 효과적인 치료법은 요충 감염에 대처하는 데 도움이 될 수 있습니다. 이러한 가정 요법 중 일부는 요충에 미치는 영향을 뒷받침하는 과학적 데이터가 없습니다. 그들은 일화적인 증거를 기반으로합니다. 따라서 의사와 상담하는 것이 중요합니다. 또한 치료를 진행하기 전에 성분에 알레르기가 없는지 확인하십시오.

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.
