Post Date November, 16 2024
Some people fall ill without paying attention to hygiene issues during sexual activity, which can cause great harm unconsciously, but the spread of some diseases is not just that. According to health experts, men and women with experience of unclean sex have a high probability of developing syphilis. But syphilis, a disease that can be infected not only through sexual contact, but also through other methods, is not well understood by ordinary people.
What are the main transmission routes of syphilis
1. Sexual contact: This is the main source of transmission for syphilis. Untreated syphilis patients have the strongest infectivity within one year after infection, and as the disease progresses, the infectivity decreases. Four years after infection, there is generally no infectivity through sexual contact.
2. Blood transmission: Syphilis patients, latent syphilis, and latent syphilis serum are infectious, and can be transmitted to others through blood transfusion and sharing needles.
3. Fetal transmission: Pregnant women with syphilis can infect their fetuses through the placenta, and it is generally believed that the main cause of syphilis infection occurs after 4 months of pregnancy. Women with syphilis who have been untreated for more than 4 years have sexual contact and generally do not transmit it, but can still transmit it to the fetus during pregnancy. The longer the duration of the disease, the less contagious it is.
4. Other routes of infection for syphilis: The cause of syphilis can be transmitted through a small number of sources other than contact, such as kissing, breastfeeding, and other infectious damage to the patient's daily necessities, such as clothes, towels, razors, tableware, cigarette butts, etc., which can also be infected.
Several Symptoms of Syphilis
A hard bottom may not be hard, nor may it be a single shot. If infected with pathogens of other sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, the rash may not be typical.
The density, size, location, shape, and quantity of secondary eczema vary from person to person, similar to some common skin diseases, and are easily misdiagnosed as psoriasis, eczema, pityriasis rosea, genital warts, allergic dermatitis, etc.
Gum swelling is now rare and can be misdiagnosed as subcutaneous tumors, deep abscesses, lymphadenitis, etc. It can be distinguished from other diseases based on its characteristics of extremely slow development, painlessness, low pus, self-healing within six months, or easy cure.
The latent manifestations of acquired (acquired) syphilitic rash are as follows:
A stage of syphilis rash, also known as chancre, often occurs in a private area, without pain or itching, and is often overlooked or shamed by patients. If it occurs on the inner side of the foreskin, labia, vagina, anus, etc., it is more difficult to detect.
