Intestinal Worms
Intestinal worms, also known as helminths, are parasitic worms that live in the digestive tract of humans and other animals. Intestinal worms can cause a range of symptoms, including abdominal pain, diarrhea, gas, and fatigue.
Where Does Intestinal Worm Cause Pain?
Intestinal worms can cause pain in the abdomen, which may be a dull ache or a sharp pain. The pain may be localized to the area where the worms are located, such as the intestines or rectum. If the worms move to other parts of the body, such as the lungs or liver, the pain may be felt in those areas as well. In some cases, the pain from intestinal worms can be debilitating and can interfere with daily activities.
Treatment for Intestinal Worms
Treatment for intestinal worms typically involves medications that kill the worms and help the body expel them. These medications may come in the form of pills, liquids, or topical creams. Some intestinal worms can be treated with over-the-counter medications, while others require prescription medications. In some cases, lifestyle changes, such as good hygiene and a healthy diet, may help to reduce the risk of infection and reinfection.
