Early symptoms of syphilis

summary

Once, I really wanted to have sex. I found a hairdresser in the street and had a relationship with her. At that time, I was so excited that I forgot to bring a condom. As a result, I was infected with syphilis. Today, let me talk about the early symptoms of syphilis.

Early symptoms of syphilis

First: first stage syphilis symptom: after infection 2-4 weeks appears the hard chancre, mostly occurs in the genital part, the male in the coronal groove, the penis, the foreskin and so on. Women in the size of the labia or cervix. At the beginning, it is a papule, which quickly breaks into a small red ulcer, with a small amount of serous secretions, containing a large number of Treponema pallidum. The hard chancre is often single, with cartilaginous hardness and no pain.

Second: secondary syphilis symptoms: secondary syphilis generally occurs in 7 ~ 10 weeks after infection or 6 ~ 8 weeks after chancre, a few cases. Secondary lesions may overlap with chancre. Treponema pallidum spreads throughout the body through blood, mainly with skin and mucous membrane damage, as well as bone, sensory organs and nerve damage. Infectious, rash before often low fever, headache, muscle, joint and bone soreness and other precursor symptoms.

Third: the third stage of syphilis symptoms: due to Treponema pallidum from lymph nodes into the blood, spread in the body after systemic symptoms, in 7-10 weeks after infection, there can be low fever, headache, muscle and joint pain, systemic lymphadenopathy. Skin rash appeared all over the body, such as macula, papule, pustule, oyster shell rash, copper red, a small amount of scales attached. It is often symmetrically distributed, dense and not fused.

matters needing attention

Sex is indeed a major route of syphilis transmission. In addition, syphilis can be transmitted indirectly. When people's skin loses its normal defense ability (such as damaged epidermis), contact with baths and clothes with Treponema pallidum, or directly contact with the damaged skin and mucous membrane of patients, Treponema pallidum may enter the human body and cause the disease. Therefore, syphilis patients should pay attention to personal and public health, wash hands before and after defecation, do not use other people's goods, so as not to harm others and themselves.
