8 Warning Signs You Have A Tapeworm In Your Stomach

Tapeworms are parasites that can survive inside another organism, known as the host.

There are several species of tapeworms, including pork, beef, and fish tapeworms. These parasites can occupy your bowels, eating nutrients from your meals, and this lack of nutrients keeps you hungry.

Causes

Consuming undercooked meat from infected animals or drinking contaminated water with tapeworm eggs or larva are the central cause of tapeworm infection in people.

The parasites are in the intestines, they eat nutrients from the meals, and this lack of nutrients keeps you hungry.

They can stay for up to 30 years in a person’s intestines.

There is a higher risk of getting a tapeworm infection when your immune system is weak.

What are the symptoms of Tapeworms in humans?

In most situations, tapeworm infections won’t show any apparent signs or symptoms, but in others, they can cause:

1. Faces containing larvae

The larvae can be destroyed by digestive juice, and the dead larvae are excreted harmlessly via feces. (5)

We hope you never reach this point, and you may find rice-sized particles (larvae) in your stool after you become infected with tapeworms.

Sometime patients may notice bits or whole worms in their stool.

2. Abdominal pain

Abdominal pain that is often described as a sharp pain and shooting pain that extends over long periods could indicate that you have a parasitic infection.

Whenever there is something foreign that lives in the intestine, abdominal pain may occur.

Abdominal pain caused by tapeworm infection is sharpened, shot, and sudden pain, which lasts for a long time and happens regularly.

3. Dysentery

It is an infection of the intestines that can cause diarrhea containing blood or mucus. It may lead to blood, pus, and mucus in your stools.

You can also have signs of mild illness, such as mild stomach pain.

Inflammation of the intestines through bacteria or, as with mysterious worms, are the two leading causes of dysentery.

To prevent the disease, wash your hands regularly, maintain good hygiene, and drink clean water.

4. Liver damage
