The most famous and already become a classic sexually transmitted disease is syphilis. He has a long incubation period, up to four weeks. But in the future, it can lead to serious health problems. A separate danger is that even before the signs of syphilis appear, a person can be infectious. Therefore, it is important during sex to always be protected with a condom, as a person may not be aware of his illness.
What are the symptoms of syphilis? Photos often show the most basic - this is a chancre. It looks like a small sore or wound. It can be up to several centimeters in size. Its differences are that it is smooth, shiny and completely painless. It has thick edges. After the appearance of the main symptoms of syphilis, an increase in the lymph nodes occurs, which are located next to the chancre. This period can be called primary syphilis. As a rule, a disease is rarely detected at this stage. But it is at this stage that the simplest treatment is carried out, which guarantees complete elimination of the disease.
Then the symptoms of syphilis appear again and the second stage of the disease begins. The first takes about two weeks. At the second stage, abundant rashes of pink and white appear on the skin. They protrude slightly above the skin, can be localized in any area and accompanied by a number of other symptoms. In most cases, they spontaneously appear and also disappear spontaneously. In addition, fatigue, fever, headache are observed. Symptoms of syphilis can be mild and usually go away without treatment. The closer to the end of the second stage of the disease, the less and less noticeable rashes become. Depending on the immunity of a sick person, the stage of secondary syphilis disease can last up to five years. During this period, focal alopecia can be observed , that is, certain parts of the head may lose vegetation.
What symptoms of syphilis are characteristic of the third stage of the disease? Specific tubercles appear on the body. They are also called syphilitic nodes. They can affect not only the skin, but also bones and internal organs. All this causes serious damage to the body, leads to disability, sometimes death, if you do not receive adequate treatment. Therefore, it is best not to neglect
preventive examinations by a doctor.
In the treatment of any disease, it is important to use measures to prevent its occurrence. Most often, syphilis is sexually transmitted. Therefore, it is better not to lead a promiscuous sex life and always protect yourself with condoms. It is also worth paying attention to the choice of a manicure master, especially if you are doing a trim manicure. If the master does not carefully process all the tools after each client, you can become infected with syphilis and not only. The same applies to dental clinics. Rarely, but there are cases of domestic infection with syphilis. That is why it is important not to give personal hygiene items to anyone, especially razors and toothbrushes.
