Early symptoms and pictures of syphilis

Symptom 1: the symptoms of syphilis at each stage are different. At the initial stage of syphilis, the symptoms are not obvious, but the patients feel very uncomfortable. The symptoms of primary syphilis are hard chancre. That is to say, erythema, infiltration, nodule and quick damage occur in vulva, forming painless and itchless ulcer. The base and periphery are relatively hard, accompanied by swelling of inguinal lymph nodes. Most of the patients occurred in glans and coronal sulcus.

Symptom 2: secondary syphilis is characterized by pleomorphic rash, which is often symmetrically distributed on the skin of the trunk and the flexed side of the extremities. Red or purplish red macular rash is smooth or with scales. It is not itchy or painful. The lymph nodes of the whole body are often slightly enlarged, but there is no tenderness. Some patients have flat wet eczema with moist surface around the external genitalia or anus.

Symptom 3: skin and mucous membrane damage in patients with stage III syphilis, typical lesions are nodular syphilid and gumma. The nervous system, heart blood system, liver, spleen and bone can all have pathological changes, which seriously affect the function of various organs, resulting in disability and even loss of life.

matters needing attention

Syphilis is mainly transmitted through sexual contact, and a few can be transmitted through contaminated daily necessities. Because Treponema pallidum is not easy to survive after leaving the human body, it is easy to die in a dry and high temperature environment. In soapy water, general disinfectants such as 10% ~ 20% bleach, 75% alcohol and hydrogen peroxide can kill it in a short time. Therefore, the general daily contact will not infect syphilis. However, untreated syphilis pregnant women can transmit the fetus through the placenta.
