Sexual Health
What parts of the body do syphilis symptoms appear in? Ten major misconceptions that syphilis patients are prone to making
Sexually transmitted diseases are an important threat to male health. Gonorrhea and syphilis grow in the eyes and mouth, yes! Sexually transmitted diseases not only occur in private areas, but if there is unclean sexual activity, the next step is inflammation of the oral mucosa, redness and pain in the throat. Do not think it is throat inflammation and internal heat, which has a high possibility of causing sexually transmitted diseases.
Syphilis appears in various parts of the body
1. Oral cavity:
Oral inflammation: I feel sore throat, Aphthous stomatitis, and the oral mucosa is red. I think that laryngitis has occurred, and I go to the pharmacy to buy anti-inflammatory drugs to take. The symptoms are alleviated, but the effect is not obvious.
Except for oral mucositis, there may be no other symptoms, and the body may not have a common syphilitic rash. However, a few days later, a rose like rash may appear on the body and hands, and only a blood sampling test can confirm sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis positive.
But the patient's private parts may not have symptoms. So experts say oral sex can also cause sexually transmitted diseases. The doctor said that due to syphilis and lack of protective measures during oral sex, the oral mucosa was infected with sexually transmitted diseases. After 2 or 3 days of oral sex, symptoms such as mucositis and small ulcers appeared in the oral cavity. Meanwhile, due to the use of condoms during sexual intercourse, the genital area may not be infected with syphilis.
Experts remind that even if the first infection site of syphilis is the genitalia, it usually only has one or several red papules and nodules. The professional term for syphilis is hard under the prickly heat, which does not hurt or itch, and even if it ruptures, it does not hurt. Ordinary people think that if they have redness and swelling on their skin, they don't care, but they have luck in their hearts and ignore it. Once the infection is at its strongest, the rupture will heal quickly and many patients believe it is good. The first stage of syphilis has a short duration, minimal damage, no itching or pain, and can naturally disappear without treatment. It is easily overlooked by patients and they rarely seek medical attention.
2. Hands and soles of feet:
In fact, Treponema pallidum spreads through the bloodstream to various organs throughout the body. After 3-4 months of the appearance of prickly heat, it enters the second stage of syphilis. Some patients can enter the second stage of syphilis without experiencing prickly heat. The most common manifestation of second stage syphilis is changes in the skin and mucous membranes, with dark red patches appearing on both palms and soles of the feet, which is a typical manifestation of second stage syphilis. In addition, flat warts, white spots on the oral mucosa, and insect like hair loss may also appear around the external genitalia and anus. There is a saying in the field of dermatology that syphilis can mimic many skin diseases. These damages are generally not painful or itchy, but they contain a large amount of Treponema pallidum and are highly contagious.
