There are always many coincidences in life, such as:
After staying in a hotel, I went to the hospital and found syphilis.
In addition, there is a recent hot news that [even the sheets and quilts of five-star hotels have not been changed], which is very embarrassing…
While strongly condemning and reviling these unscrupulous merchants, we cannot help worrying:
How is syphilis contagious?
Is it because of the hotel sheets, quilt covers, pillowcases and towels?
Can syphilis be cured?
About 90% of syphilis is transmitted through sexual behavior, and a small part can be transmitted through blood, mother-to-child vertical transmission and iatrogenic transmission.
In addition to the above clear ways of contracting syphilis, there are always some behaviors wandering on the edge of high-voltage lines, which make us waver. Will they be infected?
Daily contact will not infect syphilis.
Treponema pallidum is not a parasite, it will not lie prone on our skin and be ready to attack the next host at any time, nor will it be able to penetrate our normal skin and mucous membrane and become infected by its own strength.
Therefore, contact in daily life will not infect syphilis, such as shaking hands and using hotel necessities.
In the future, don’t say that you will be infected with syphilis after staying in the hotel. There are enough blame on the towel back of the hotel!
These conditions can infect syphilis
Oral sex can also be contagious.
Any form of sexual behavior may cause local mucosal or skin damage, thus causing infection, such as oral sex, anal sex, etc.
Wearing condoms can also be contagious.
Condoms only greatly reduce the infectivity of sexual contact, but they cannot be completely eliminated. People can imagine that the process of sexual behavior is multi-faceted, and it cannot be absolutely prevented only by covering the key parts. (There is a little dirt here, please delete it from your brain after reading it, let alone associate it at will)
Therefore, when one should exercise restraint in one’s life, one must exercise restraint, love, yes, restraint and restraint!
What is syphilis like?
Syphilis is caused by Treponema pallidum infection. This guy’s performance is very different and varied in different periods.
1. Primary syphilis
Treponema pallidum first invades and reproduces from the direct contact part (mainly the friction part in sexual life), causing inflammation and skin ulceration. Typical skin damage is called [hard chancre].
If the first-stage syphilis is not treated in time or is not treated properly, after a period of time, the first-stage syphilis can subside on its own.
2. Secondary syphilis
Does it mean that it is good to subside on its own?
No!
After that, Treponema pallidum will sneak into the blood, causing systemic reactions, mainly syphilis rash or mucosal rash (systemic rash, palm and plantar erythema are specific). Because Treponema pallidum has entered the blood, some tissues and organs will also be affected, such as nerves, eyes, periosteum, etc.
At this time, if the treatment is not immediately carried out or the treatment is not standardized, after a period of time, the second-stage syphilis can also subside on its own.
3. Syphilis III
After a period of latency, it is stage III syphilis that is making a comeback again.
This phase of syphilis is also called organ syphilis. It mainly invades bone, heart, nerve and other important organs, leading to neurosyphilis, cardiac syphilis, bone syphilis and so on. The consequences will be very serious and even life-threatening.
The terrible thing about syphilis is that it will subside without treatment, which makes people feel that it is the general trend and seems to be good!
However, every comeback is a deeper invasion, and during the intermission period, syphilis will be very low-key and have no performance, thus it is more likely to cause infection, when it is really [moisten things silently].
How should syphilis be treated?
The most effective medicine for syphilis treatment is penicillin, which is cheap and easy to use.
However, the types, routes of administration and courses of treatment of penicillin used in different periods and types of syphilis are different, requiring doctors to give specific medication guidance according to the personal situation of patients.
Although syphilis is difficult, if we cure syphilis in the first and second stages (early stage), there will generally be no sequelae, but once we enter the third stage (late stage), even if we treat it, we may still leave irreparable losses.
Therefore, [when there is a situation] go to a doctor quickly, don’t cover it up, after all, health is the most important thing!
