Why syphilis

summary

In the comprehensive physical examination a week ago, I accidentally found that I had syphilis, but I didn't find any before. Fortunately, the doctor told me that my symptoms were mild. In order to prevent this situation, I'd like to introduce why I have syphilis.

Why syphilis

The first aspect: Treponema pallidum from the epidermis or mucosal damage into the body, after 3-4 weeks of incubation period after the onset. The main symptoms of primary syphilis are chancre, ulcer in genital area and swelling of inguinal lymph nodes.

The second aspect: syphilis is caused by Treponema pallidum, which is a very complex microorganism and contains many antigen substances. Under electron microscope, the outermost layer of Treponema pallidum is the outer membrane, and the inner part of the outer membrane is the cytoplasmic membrane.

Third aspect: Treponema pallidum enters the human body from the intact mucous membrane and the abraded skin, invades the nearby lymph nodes after several hours, and spreads through the blood circulation on 2-3 days. In addition to sexual contact, there are blood borne transmission, placental transmission, birth canal transmission, indirect contact transmission and so on.

matters needing attention

Sexual intercourse is forbidden during treatment. Syphilis patients asked to prohibit sexual intercourse, more than two years of illness should also try to avoid sex, sexual contact must use condoms. If the patient is unmarried, then they are allowed to get married after syphilis is cured.
