intestinal parasites

Intestinal parasites are tiny organisms, like worms or protozoa, that live inside the digestive system. They can be contracted through contaminated food, water, or contact with infected individuals. These parasites can cause symptoms such as stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, and weight loss. Some may be harmless or cause mild issues, while others can lead to more serious health problems if untreated. Proper hygiene, safe food practices, and clean water help prevent infection. Treatment usually involves medications prescribed by a healthcare professional to eliminate the parasites and restore health.
