Syphilis is the most common sexually transmitted disease. What is the harm of syphilis to the human body and how much is its harm?
When it comes to syphilis, people know its great harm. But many people are unclear about the extent and manifestation of the harm of syphilis. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease that can be transmitted through multiple channels and can cause great harm to the patient's body, as reflected in the following aspects.
Syphilis, which can occur in both men and women, is a disease with high incidence rate and difficult to treat. The spirochete of syphilis is Treponem pallidum, a type of spirochete that has serious pathogenicity to the human body and can invade any organ, producing various symptoms. Treponema pallidum only infects humans, and syphilis patients are the only source of infection. The clinical manifestations are very complex, almost invading all organs of the body, and presenting with various symptoms and signs. Initially, it mainly invades the skin and mucous membranes
As syphilis worsens, the patient's physical symptoms increase. In the late stage, apart from the skin and mucous membranes, it is particularly easy to invade the heart and central nervous system. Syphilis patients are the main source of transmission of this disease, and their main route of transmission is through sexual contact. Especially for untreated patients, they are most infectious within one year after infection. Generally, the longer the course of treatment, the lower the infectivity. After four years of infection, there is generally no infection. In addition, during pregnancy or childbirth, the fetus can be infected, as can kissing, towels, utensils, and blood transfusions. After entering the body, Treponema pallidum is influenced by various factors, and the onset time varies. However, the process of syphilis still has a certain regularity.
From this, it can be seen that syphilis poses a great threat. As the condition worsens, the harm gradually worsens, not only damaging the patient's reproductive organs, but also damaging their body organs. Therefore, if diagnosed with syphilis, formal treatment should be immediately carried out to completely cure syphilis.
