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 got better for a while, but then it started again. How does ascariasis develop?Doctor's answer:
Helminthiasis is one of the most common parasitic diseases, primarily spread through unclean food and fecal-oral transmission. Eggs in the stool can disperse into the air, contaminate food, and enter the patient's mouth through the alimentary canal, thus initiating the life cycle of the helminth. Severe helminthiasis can cause severe abdominal pain and even helminth-related biliary disease. If helminth infection is confirmed, it is recommended to implement emergency treatment, commonly using albendazole.
