Syphilis is a common sexually transmitted disease in daily life, which spreads widely and does not pose a threat to life. However, it can bring a certain sense of inferiority to patients and is highly contagious. Let's take a look at the symptoms of syphilis. What are the symptoms of syphilis?
1. Phase I syphilis
The primary stage of syphilis is mainly in a hard chancre state, and the location of syphilis onset varies depending on gender. Male syphilis patients mainly develop in the foreskin and urethral opening, while syphilis can also occur in the coronal sulcus, glans, and penis. The main site of onset for female syphilis patients is the penis, cervix, and labia minora. Syphilis also occurs in the anal canal, and some female nipples also exhibit symptoms of syphilis.
2. Phase II syphilis
Phase II syphilis is a systemic syphilitic rash. After a large amount of hard chancre subsides, there will be no symptoms for a period of time, but it will spread throughout the body with blood circulation, causing damage to various parts of the body, and even multiple lesions, which can easily invade the patient's organs, mainly the internal organs and skin. In addition, patients have headaches, fever, bone and joint pain before onset, and some patients have enlarged lymph nodes, liver and spleen, etc.
3. Phase III syphilis
Phase III syphilis patients have already begun to enter the terminal stage of syphilis, which means that in the final stage of syphilis, the patient's skin and mucous membranes will be severely damaged.
4. Syphilis during pregnancy
Pregnancy syphilis occurs during a woman's pregnancy. During pregnancy, syphilis may be overt or covert, and the virus can be transmitted directly to the fetus through the umbilical vein or placenta, leading to congenital syphilis in newborns after birth. Some women during pregnancy can also cause premature birth or stillbirth of the fetus in their abdomen.
5. Early congenital syphilis
Congenital syphilis appears in the early stage, mainly for newborns. After birth, the child's body is very thin, and obvious symptoms such as swelling of lymph nodes throughout the body appear 3 weeks after birth.
6. Late stage congenital syphilis
Late stage congenital syphilis generally occurs in children over 2 years old, with severe damage to their teeth, bones, nerves, eyes, and skin, as well as abnormalities in the nervous system, including neuropathic deafness and keratitis.
Warm reminder
Syphilis exhibits different symptoms at different stages. When obvious symptoms are found, regular hospitals should be selected for corresponding examinations, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods, paying attention to a light diet, and avoiding sexual activity during acute periods of illness.
