How is pregnant syphilis caused

First: dirty sexual contact: dirty sexual contact is the main cause of syphilis infection. Syphilis is almost always caused by sexual contact. Syphilis patients are the source of infection, with strong transmissibility and high infection rate. They usually attack 7-60 days after infection.

Second: through maternal transmission: pregnant women with syphilis can be transmitted to the fetus through the placenta, causing intrauterine infection of the fetus, which mostly occurs after 4 months of pregnancy, causing abortion, premature delivery, stillbirth or delivery of fetal syphilis.

Third: traumatic infection: syphilis germs can invade the body through small ruptured wounds on the skin or mucous membrane. After several days of incubation, the germs begin to attack when they reproduce to a sufficient number.

matters needing attention

The incubation period is closely related to the patient's own constitution, medication and the degree of infection. If the number of infected Treponema pallidum is large or the physical condition of the infected person is poor, the onset is earlier; if the infected person takes antibiotics or has strong resistance at the same time, the onset is later. There are also a small number of patients until a few months, half a year or even many years after the emergence of secondary syphilis, tertiary syphilis latent symptoms, but clinical syphilis serum reaction is positive.
