Syphilis is a very terrible venereal disease, no less than AIDS. It is caused by pallid (syphilis) spirochetes, and is a chronic, systematic sexually transmitted disease. In life, if we are not careful, we will be infected with syphilis, because the Pathogen transmission of transmission of this virus is easy to be ignored. Some people even think that it can only be transmitted through sexual behavior, which is totally wrong.
What are the Pathogen transmission of syphilis?
1. Sexual contact transmission
Hu Yunfeng, Deputy Director of the Department of Dermatology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University, said that sexual contact was indeed the main mode of transmission of syphilis. According to the survey, more than 95% of syphilis patients were transmitted through sexual contact. Sexual contact is also the main Pathogen transmission of transmission of AIDS, because safety measures must be taken when having sex. However, doctors say that as the condition prolongs, the infectivity of syphilis gradually decreases, and after 4 years of infection, the probability of sexual infection is very low.
2. Personal belongings for syphilis patients in contact
Contact with hygiene products used by syphilis patients, such as towels, foot basins, clothes, tableware, etc., contact with the patient's secretions, body fluids, and blood, and sharing the toilet with the patient may lead to infection with syphilis.
3. Traumatic infection
Syphilis, a sexually transmitted disease pathogen, can invade the human body through small ruptured wounds on the skin or mucous membranes, and remain dormant for a period of time. When the pathogen propagates to a certain extent, it begins to develop.
4. Placental transmission
Syphilis, a disease that can be transmitted through the placenta, is generally a primary or secondary disease in which there are more spirochetes in the blood. The proportion of untreated miscarriages or stillbirths in syphilis is very high, and the probability of placental transmission is high. Although the disease lasts for more than 4 years and is not contagious through sexual contact, it can still be transmitted to the fetus. The longer the disease, the less infectious it is.
How to prevent syphilis in daily life?
1. The most important thing to prevent syphilis is to prevent sexual contact infection, choose a fixed partner, avoid one-night stands and other behaviors, and use reliable condoms during sexual intercourse.
2. Never use drugs or share needles with others. When drawing blood or donating blood, it is important to ensure the safety of equipment and equipment in a reputable hospital.
3. For pregnant women, syphilis screening should be done well. Doctors recommend conducting syphilis tests once in the first three months and three months after pregnancy to ensure the safety of both mother and child.
