Bilharzia, also known as schistosomiasis, is a parasitic infection caused by worms called schistosomes. These parasites enter the body through contact with contaminated water, such as freshwater lakes, rivers, and streams. Once inside the body, the worms can lay eggs in the blood vessels around the bladder and intestines, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, blood in the urine, and fatigue. If left untreated, bilharzia can cause serious complications, including damage to the liver, kidneys, and bladder. Treatment typically involves medication to kill the parasites and reduce symptoms. Preventive measures include avoiding contact with contaminated water and practicing good hygiene.
