What Is a Hookworm Infection?
5. Abdominal Pain
Some patients will also experience pain in the abdomen as the parasites continue to cause irritation to the digestive system. Some patients will also experience some very uncomfortable abdominal cramps. Such symptoms will often be overlooked as simply being an upset stomach, but a doctor should be contacted if the symptoms persist for long.
In some cases the patient may even notice some blood in their stools. This is a clear sign that something is wrong and, in some cases, it could even be down to life-threatening conditions. Again, a doctor should be called as soon as these symptoms are noticed.
