HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR AMEBIASIS
Amebiasis is an infection of the
intestines caused by the parasite Entamoeba histolytica.
Causes-Entamoeba histolytica can live in the
large intestine (colon) without causing damage to the intestine. In some
cases, it invades the colon wall, causing colitis ,
acute dysentery, or long-term (chronic) diarrhea. The infection can also spread
through the blood to the liver. In rare cases, it can spread to the
lungs, brain, or other organs.
This
condition occurs worldwide. It is most common in tropical areas that
have crowded living conditions and poor sanitation. Africa, Mexico, parts
of South America, and India have major health problems due
to this disease.
Entamoeba histolytica is spread through food or water
contaminated with stools. This contamination is common when human waste is used
as fertilizer. It can also be spread from person to person, particularly by
contact with the mouth or rectal area of an infected person.
Risk factors for severe amebiasis include:-Alcoholism,Cancer,
malnutrition, Older or younger age, Pregnancy, Recent travel to a tropical
region, Use of corticosteroid medication to suppress the immune system
Symptoms--Most people with this infection do
not have symptoms. If symptoms occur, they are seen 7 to 28 days after
being exposed to the parasite.
Mild symptoms:--Abdominal cramps, Diarrhea: Passage of 3 to
8 semiformed stools per day, or passage of soft stools with mucus and
occasional blood, Fatigue, Excessive gas, Rectal pain while having a bowel
movement , unintentional weight loss
Severe symptoms may include:Abdominal tenderness, Bloody stools,
