Sergey, 29, an IT specialist, loved visiting his parents' dacha. There he helped out in the garden, often forgetting to wear gloves. After a while he began to experience stomach pain and bowel trouble
At first Sergey thought it was from poor diet or stress. The symptoms came and went, but the overall weakness never went away. He decided to get checked to rule out anything serious

Specific lab tests are then ordered, which may include stool tests to detect parasite eggs. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, the doctor prescribes treatment
How to prepare
Before visiting the clinic, write down all your symptoms. Note when they started and how often they occur. Recall whether you've had contact with contaminated soil or unwashed produce
What people ask most often
How do roundworm larvae migrate through the body?
Once inside the body, roundworm larvae migrate through the lungs and then return to the intestine. There they develop into adult parasites.
What preventive measures help avoid roundworm infection?
It's important to wash your hands thoroughly after contact with soil or animals. Vegetables and fruit should be washed well before eating. Drink only clean water.
