The elephant is a common medical condition that causes the underlying tissues of the body in both sexes thicken causing them to look like an elephant limbs. In the case of men, elephantiasis can even affect the scrotum and make it the size of a softball.
Elephantiasis caused by parasitic worms such as b. timori and others that are transmitted by mosquitoes. Although this is a worm that is responsible for the transmission of elephants, the real reason is quite complex and depends on various aspects like the host immune response.
Adult worms can live only in the lymphatic system of humans and therefore inhibit lymphatic vessels. This obstruction creates swelling in the torso and also on the feet and genitals. Medical research has not found whether the swelling due to parasites or because of an immune system response against the parasite.
These parasites are mostly found in countries such as Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan, Egypt, Ethiopia, and Uganda. From this, Ethiopia is the most affected by more than six percent of the population living in endemic areas are affected.
Treatment for elephantiasis depending on the geographic location of the patient. for people who live in sub-Saharan Africa, the drug albendazole and ivermectin is used. Elsewhere, one can use diethylcarbamazine along with albendazole. Medical science is the elephant fight every day, and studies have shown that elephants can be completely eradicated by 2020.
Elephantiasis can also affect male and female genital organs. In men, the scrotum may get enlarged and the male organ may be pulled down a thick, non-elastic skin that is hot and painful. Elephantiasis may also cause thickening of sperm tape.
In women, the vulva may be affected by elephants. Mass, which is covered by skin thickening and ulceration can be seen between the thighs. Another important aspect is that elephants can cause enlarged lymph nodes in the foot.
Elephantiasis can also be cured with strict cleaning of the affected area and in the case of elephantiasis of the scrotum, one can try surgical treatment. However surgery for limb ineffective.
One can also combat elephantiasis with cleanliness. Wearing shoes is consistent so that the legs do not come into contact with irritant soil, soak in water every day antiseptic, and wash your hands and feet with soap and water regularly. Elephantiasis can also be treated by using an elastic bandage.
In the case of infection, one needs to use antibiotics. The most common antibiotic used for elephantiasis is doxycycline, which can effectively treat lymphatic filariasis. Other drugs used are ANtrypol, Ivermectin, Mebendazole and Levamisole, among others.
