What diseases can be transmitted through feces?

Under normal circumstances, feces can transmit various diseases, such as intestinal parasites, amoebic dysentery, hepatitis A, typhoid fever, and cholera. Patients should receive symptomatic treatment based on the specific cause. The details are as follows:

1. Intestinal Parasites

Feces from patients with intestinal parasites may contain fertilized parasite eggs, which can spread infection. Patients can take medications such as metronidazole tablets or albendazole tablets orally under medical guidance.

2. Amoebic Dysentery

Amoebic dysentery is caused by amoeba protozoa. These organisms reside in the intestines of infected individuals and are excreted into the environment through feces. When others come into contact with food, water, or objects contaminated by infected feces and then transfer them to their mouths, infection may occur. Patients can be treated with ornidazole capsules, tinidazole tablets, or similar medications under a doctor's supervision.

3. Hepatitis A

Hepatitis A is a contagious liver disease caused by the hepatitis A virus. The virus is excreted from the body through feces, contaminating the environment and entering the digestive tract of others, leading to infection. Under medical guidance, patients can take liver-protective medications such as wuzhi capsules or Liuwei Wuling tablets.

4. Typhoid Fever

The typhoid pathogen resides in the intestines of infected individuals and enters the environment through fecal discharge. When people consume food or water contaminated by infected feces, accidental exposure to these pathogens may lead to infection. Patients can be treated with medications such as ciprofloxacin hydrochloride capsules or levofloxacin tablets under a doctor's direction.

5. Cholera

Cholera is a Class A infectious disease with strong transmissibility. The bacteria are excreted in feces, contaminating water and food supplies, thereby spreading infection to others through contaminated food and water. Under medical supervision, patients can be treated with tetracycline tablets, smectite powder, or similar medications.

If any physical discomfort occurs, it is recommended to visit a正规 hospital for proper diagnosis and timely, appropriate treatment to avoid delaying recovery.
