Lamblias are the simplest parasitic microorganisms that can penetrate the human body when consuming contaminated food and water, as well as through contaminated hands and household items, from domestic animals. These parasites can cause a disease of giardiasis, in which the mucosa of the small intestine is affected.
To this day, the study of these microorganisms and their impact on human health continues, so there are many unreasonable hypotheses, as well as myths and misconceptions. In particular, quite often among patients and even some doctors you can hear the diagnosis of "lamblia in the liver." How to determine lamblia in the liver, by what treatment they are recommended to withdraw, and whether such a diagnosis is reliable, we will consider further.
Symptoms of lamblia in the liver
Immediately it should be noted the proven fact that lamblia parasitizes only in the small intestine, staying there in a mobile (vegetative) form. In the liver, as well as in the gall bladder and ducts, they can not live; The bile contained in these parts of the digestive system has a harmful effect on these parasites. And, having got into the large intestine, these protozoa go into a sporic immobile form, from which they are safely withdrawn along with the excrement. Thus, in the liver, as well as in other organs parasitizing lamblia can not be. But then why establish this diagnosis?
Giardia, attaching to the fibers of the mucous wall of the small intestine, contribute to the violation of parietal digestion and motility of this part of the intestine. This causes the following symptoms:
- pain in the abdomen (usually in the near-pustular region);
- bloating;
- nausea;
- constipation, followed by diarrhea (yellow stool, with an admixture of mucus);
- decreased appetite;
- irritability.
If pathological processes in the small intestine occur for a long time, this can not but affect negatively on other parts of the digestive system, in particular, and on the functioning of the liver. Therefore, patients with giardiasis may be concerned about:
- pain in the liver (right hypochondrium);
- bitter taste in the mouth ;
- heartburn and the like.
In addition, it is established that giardiasis can aggravate the existing accompanying pathologies of the digestive organs, making their clinical picture more pronounced. But that the liver is affected by Giardia, none of these symptoms can speak, and
How to get rid of lamblia in the liver?
As already mentioned, lamblia does not affect the liver, so there is no need to remove them from there. To get rid of lamblia, living in the small intestine, is necessary only with a pronounced clinical picture of giardiasis and the detection of these parasites in feces. In this case, drug therapy with antiparasitic drugs active against protozoa (Furazolidone, Trichopolum, etc.) is performed.
