Many people like to eat seafood
Especially raw seafood
One bite down that fresh that cool
but! be!
Be aware that the disease comes from the mouth
Some things can't be eaten indiscriminately!
A man in Zhongshan loves to eat freshwater fish raw
As a result, the bug "lived" into his body!
The 50-year-old Cheng Mou has felt that the upper abdomen has always been uncomfortable and a little painful in the past two years, "I don't feel that the pain is unbearable, it is very uncomfortable, and it is especially obvious when I am hungry." ”
He thought that the gallbladder polyp was the fault, and had been drinking traditional Chinese medicine, but there was no obvious improvement, so he went to the Torch Development Zone Hospital to do bile-preserving stone (polyps) surgery.
The operation went very smoothly,
But when the surgery was about to end,
The doctor probes the gallbladder duct,
I found a worm that was "swimming"!
This is an adult worm,
It is about 4-5mm long and live!
In fact, it is what causes Mr. Cheng
The culprit of abdominal pain
After the doctor confirmed that the parasite in Mr. Cheng's body belonged to the liver fluke. The doctor said that it is difficult to find liver flukes in the general B ultrasound examination, so Cheng has not known that there are parasites in the gallbladder.
At present, the hospital has removed the bugs for Mr. Cheng. Although only one liver fluke was found in Mr. Cheng's gallbladder, doctors said that this did not rule out that there were other adult worms or eggs living in his gallbladder, and the hospital would continue to carry out systematic deworming treatment for him.

Why are there liver flukes in the gallbladder?
According to doctors, liver flukes are a parasite, liver fluke disease, also known as Chinese mycodychosomiasis, is a series of disease symptoms caused by adult liver fluke parasitism in the human liver and bile ducts, which will seriously endanger human health. Mildly infected patients may have no obvious symptoms, severely infected people will have indigestion, epigastric pain, diarrhea, lack of energy, hepatomegaly and other clinical manifestations, and severe patients may have complications such as cholangitis, gallstones, pancreatic fire, cirrhosis and even hepatobiliary duct cancer.
Liver flukes usually parasitize freshwater fish and spread to the human body through the digestive tract through freshwater raw or uncooked fish and shrimp meat. If a person eats raw fish with liver fluke eggs or uncooked fish and shrimp meat, about a month, the eggs can develop into melon-like adult worms in the liver bile ducts.
Cheng Mou has the habit of eating raw fish. A few years ago, because the summer work was too hot, he often caught crucian carp, eel, etc. from the ditch, cleaned up and directly mixed and eaten cold. "It's delicious!" It was this habit that led him to contract liver fluke disease.
However, after learning that he had liver flukes in his body, he kept waving his hands: "I don't dare to eat anymore!" ”
Public misconceptions
Can soy sauce, mustard, and liquor kill liver flukes?
No! It is rumored that seasonings such as soy sauce, mustard and liquor can kill liver flukes, which has no scientific basis.
The resistance of cysticercosis is relatively strong, and condiments and liquor cannot play an insecticidal effect in a short period of time. The best way to kill liver flukes is to cook the fish thoroughly at high temperatures.
