summary

I had surgery 20 days ago and found that I was infected with syphilis, but I have no characteristics at all. I hope the doctor can give me guidance on how to determine and treat it. Today, let me learn from you about the secondary recurrence of syphilis.

Secondary recurrence 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.

Syphilitic chancre is hard, painless, round or oval, with clear boundary, neat edge, dike like uplift, surrounded by dark red infiltration, with characteristic cartilage like hardness, flat base, no pus, with fibrin like membrane on the surface, which is not easy to remove. If it is squeezed slightly, there may be a small amount of serous exudate, containing a large number of Treponema pallidum, which is an important source of infection. Hard chancre mostly single, there are also 2-3 cases. It's a symptom of syphilis.
