Poor eating habits make liver failure attack the body faster

The habit of eating raw foods such as fish salad, unkinded aquatic vegetables is becoming a major concern for public health.

According to MSc Tran Dang Khoa - Hepatitis Clinic, Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, liver fluke occurs when people eat food or drinking water containing eggs or tapeworms.The common source of infection is aquatic vegetables such as vegetables, celery, lipstick lettuce, or unpleasant dishes such as fish salad, raw oysters, raw snails.Traditional eating habits and modern culinary trend such as sashimi, living seafood if not hygienic, are favorable conditions for this dangerous type of parasites to develop.

It is worth mentioning that the disease usually does not cause significant symptoms in the early stages.Patients may only feel dull abdominal pain, fatigue, mild fever, diarrhea or nausea - the manifestations are easily confused with normal digestive disorders.Therefore, many cases of late detection when flukes have matured, causing obstruction of bile ducts or forming latex in the liver."Large liver fluke can cause liver abscess, and small liver fluke often causes inflammation and biliary obstruction.Both can lead to severe complications if not detected early," the doctor warned.

Fortunately, the disease of liver fluke can be completely cured with special medication.Depending on the type of tapeworm and the degree of damage, the patient may be appointed to use Praziquantel or Triclobendazole for a few days.In more severe cases such as biliary obstruction or large liver abscess, laparoscopic or surgical intervention may be required to drain and remove parasites.

However, disease prevention is always the optimal measure.Doctor Khoa recommends: "We should wash vegetables carefully with salt water, avoid eating aquatic vegetables.Seafoods such as fish, snails, shrimps need to be cooked well.At the same time, clean hands before processing and should have regular health checks if there is no hygienic eating habits." Liver fluke is not a rare disease but it is easy to ignore due to faint manifestations.

Changing eating habits is the simplest way to protect the liver - the body silent but extremely important of the body.Do not let a raw meal be careful to become the cause of dangerous complications for long -term health.
