Sexual Health
What harm does syphilis do to the body? Is there a high probability of syphilis spreading through saliva
Syphilis is one of the diseases of both genders, and sexual behavior is contagious. Both genders do not have a deep understanding of the harm of syphilis and are prone to underestimate it. However, it poses a great threat to human health. Suffering from syphilis requires timely treatment to avoid its harm.
1. The degree of harm has increased, and the rate of disability and mortality has increased. After the mutation of spirochetes, the toxicity increases and the degree of damage to body organs worsens. In addition, the condition develops rapidly after mutation, and traditional treatment is ineffective. Syphilis increases the disability rate and mortality rate of the body. Failure to treat in a timely manner can lead to organ dysfunction and even endanger life.
2. The structural variation of Treponema pallidum results in drug resistance. Every pathogenic microorganism has its own characteristic of variation, and spirochetes are no exception. Mutated spirochetes, such as upgraded computer operating systems, have more complete functions, stronger toxicity, and are difficult to treat. At the same time, the abuse of clinical antibiotics has accelerated the resistance of spirochetes to drugs, bringing difficulties to traditional treatment.
3. Spirochetes can harm the cardiovascular system. Aortitis, aortic valve insufficiency, aortic aneurysm, etc.
4. Treponema pallidum invades the central nervous system. It can cause spinal tuberculosis, paralytic dementia, optic nerve atrophy, etc.
5. Spirochetes damage the skeletal system. Causing tissue and organ damage, loss of function, disability or death.
Syphilis transmission route:
Syphilis is highly contagious and can be transmitted through two methods: direct contact and non-sexual contact. Many people do not go to irregular places and feel incredible about having syphilis. The main transmission routes of syphilis are as follows.
1. Sexual contact transmission
In clinical practice, more than 90% of syphilis is transmitted through sexual contact transmission with syphilitic patients. The methods of sexual contact include sexual intercourse, hot kisses, and skin contact hugs. Due to the thin skin mucosa and abundant blood vessels in the genital area of the human body, sexual intercourse is in an extremely congested state. Sexual friction can cause minor damage, creating conditions for the invasion of syphilis pallidum.
2. Indirect contact transmission
Contact with objects used by syphilis patients, such as clothing, blankets, items, supplies, tools, toilets, bath towels, etc., may be contaminated by the patient's secretions and infect the pale spirochete of syphilis. Healthy individuals who live closely with syphilis patients are prone to contracting syphilis when they come into contact with pathogenic bacteria in minor wounds.
