What are the transmission routes of syphilis

summary

For now my syphilis treatment, I am very troubled. But I can't help it. I can only suffer from syphilis. There's nothing I can do. Today, let me share with you the ways of transmission of syphilis.

What are the transmission routes of syphilis

First, the main route of transmission of syphilis is sexual contact: more than 90% of syphilis patients are infected through sexual contact. Genital skin and mucous membrane thin, rich blood vessels, sexual life in a state of extreme congestion, sexual friction can cause subtle damage, for the invasion of Treponema pallidum to create conditions.

Second: blood borne infection may also be the route of transmission of syphilis: the course of syphilis is long, especially in patients with latent syphilis. Although there are pathogens in the body, there may be no clinical manifestations. Healthy people or patients with other diseases can be infected with syphilis if they have imported blood or blood products provided by them.

Third: the birth canal is also one of the ways of transmission of syphilis: when the fetus passes through the birth canal infected with syphilis, the pallidum of syphilis in the birth canal can be infected to the fetus, leading to the infection of syphilis in the newborn. The route of transmission of syphilis may also be the placenta: pregnant women with syphilis, without timely detection and treatment, or incomplete treatment, Treponema pallidum can be transmitted to the fetus through the blood circulation of the placenta, so that the fetus infected with syphilis. Placental infection mainly occurs in pregnant women with early syphilis.

matters needing attention

The symptoms of systemic secondary syphilis occur before the rash, such as fever, headache, bone and joint pain, hepatosplenomegaly and lymphadenectasis. Mucosal damage: about 50% of patients have mucosal damage. Secondary syphilis symptoms occur in the lip, oral parts, tonsil and throat, for mucosal spots or mucositis, exudation or gray membrane, mucosal swelling. Syphilitic alopecia: the symptoms of secondary syphilis account for about 10% of the patients. Most of them are sparsity with unclear boundary, such as insect erosion, and a few are diffuse.
