Symptoms of having roundworms in the abdomen

Ascariasis is a common parasitic disease primarily caused by Ascaris worms parasitizing the human intestine. Its main symptoms include the following aspects: 1. Abdominal pain and discomfort: Ascariasis often causes mild abdominal pain or discomfort, especially around the navel. The pain may appear intermittently and may be accompanied by bloating or a sensation of discomfort. 2. Gastrointestinal symptoms: Infection with Ascaris may lead to gastrointestinal symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting. Decreased appetite and weight loss are common manifestations. 3. Abnormal bowel movements: Ascariasis may cause diarrhea or constipation. Worms or eggs may appear in the stool, sometimes accompanied by mucus or blood. If the above symptoms occur, especially in environments with poor hygiene conditions, medical attention should be sought promptly for examination and diagnosis. Timely treatment can effectively control and eliminate the infection, preventing further health complications.
