Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach aches sometimes with symptoms of burning and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was fine for a while, but then it started again. What should I pay attention to in the care of ascariasis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the care for ascariasis primarily involves paying attention to hygiene. Before eating vegetables and fruits, they should be washed. Wash your face before meals, maintain good hygiene in daily life, and avoid touching things contaminated with feces or industrial pollution. If fruits and vegetables are picked from the ground, they must be sterilized. Cook vegetables before eating them; do not eat raw ones. High temperatures can completely eliminate parasite eggs in food. For those susceptible to ascariasis, certain preventive measures can be effective: ① irregular medical check-ups, ② developing good personal hygiene habits, ③ washing your face before meals and after using the restroom, ④ not drinking untreated water or eating unclean fruits and vegetables, ⑤ frequently trimming your nails, and ⑥ not defecating in public places.
