Amoebic dysentery : Amoebic dysentery is caused by infection of the large intestine with a parasite called Entamoeba histolytica.
The parasite enters the stomach through contaminated water and unsanitary food and travels close to the septum of the large intestine, shedding its outer lining. The parasite then occupies the mucous membrane over the colon. At this time, a kind of harmful juice is released from the parasite's body, which breaks the mucous membrane. And this broken mucous membrane is attacked by amoeba and wound is formed
Amoebic dysentery signs and symptoms:
The patient has frequent bowel movements (usually about 10 times a day). Mucous (mucous membrane) or mango tends to flow more often with the stool. Even if there is blood, it is less visible And constant right sided lower abdominal pain
Amoebic dysentery treatment
You need to rest and eat plenty of fluids and nutritious food. Tablet Metronidazole (400 mg) should be taken 3 times a day (for adults) as per doctor's advice. Children should be treated according to their weight (take this medicine without doctor's advice is strictly prohibited).
Note that only conceptual drug names are mentioned here. But in reality this medicine cannot be taken without doctor's examination and advice.
Amoebic dysentery is caused by a microorganism
Amoebic dysentery is caused by a microorganism called Entamoeba histolytica, a single-celled organism called Entamoeba.
Amoebic dysentery is a bacterial infection caused by the protozoan Entamoeba Histolytica. Antamoebae live in the large intestine and obtain nutrients from its wall. This causes sores in the area and causes a lot of mucus and blood to come out with the stool.
Amoebic dysentery occurs in people of any age
Amoebic dysentery, Amoebiasis, like other dysentery, is rarely seen in young children. It is seen to affect slightly older boys and girls. Amebic/amoebic dysentery is extremely rare in children under 5 years of age Amoebic/amoebic dysentery is caused by infection of the large intestine with the parasite Entamoeba histolytica.
Patients suffering from this disease are seen to have frequent diarrhea. Mucous (mucous membrane) or mango is seen to flow more with the stool. Blood is less visible Patients with this disease usually have pain in the right lower abdomen
Ways to prevent amoebic dysentery
To prevent amoebic dysentery or any dysentery, we must first know what is dysentery and what are the causes of this disease? So let's first know what is dysentery?
What is dysentery?
Fluids, and especially water, are essential to prevent dehydration. As dysentery is an infectious disease associated with severe diarrhea. In many countries including India, Bangladesh, signs and symptoms are usually mild and usually disappear within a few days. Most people do not seek treatment.
It is a significant disease worldwide. Between 120 million and 185 million cases of Shigella infection occur each year, of which 1 million are fatal. In developing countries, this disease accounts for more than 60% of deaths in children under 5 years of age.
Amoebic dysentery is a parasitic infection
Entamoeba histolytica is a type of parasite that forms a sheath around itself and roams in soil and water. In most cases, this bacterium Entamoeba histolytica easily enters the human stomach through the consumption of contaminated water and unsanitary food and moves to the area near the cecum of the large intestine where it sheds its outer covering.
The parasite then clings to the lining of the large intestine and makes a nest. And the body of this harmful parasite secretes a noxious juice that breaks down the mucous membrane of the intestine in the human body. And in this broken mucous membrane, wounds are formed for the attack of amoeba
Later, the broken down part of the mucous membrane is excreted with the faeces, which we call "mango". Affected patients usually experience mild throbbing pain in the lower abdomen on the right side And on the right side of the lower abdomen is the cecum (part of the cecum colon organ) which is the main target of the parasite's attack.
Ways to prevent dysentery
Dr. Mark Jeniffer (Florida) says that if you have dysentery, you should take saline and rest. Drink plenty of fluids like cold water, sugar syrup, coconut water, fruit juice etc. If the stool is excessively thin, take medicine according to the doctor's advice at the nearest health center.
Chronic dysentery: Amoebic dysentery and bacillary dysentery are both short term dysentery. Generally speaking, 'short-term dysentery' is dysentery lasting less than a week. Short-term dysentery is completely cured with short-term treatment. Chronic diarrhea or chronic dysentery requires long-term treatment.
Prolonged dysentery problems lead to various complications. In chronic dysentery, the anus is always slightly distended. But there is no reason to fear about dysentery. Dysentery can be completely cured with proper treatment and expert doctor's advice.
