summary

In recent days, I feel a little uncomfortable in my lower body, and there are a lot of small pimples under it. Some pimples feel hard, and the surface is wet with water. In a few days, they began to fester and increase. I went to see the doctor and said that I am syphilis. For patients with this disease, we should treat them as soon as possible. Now I will take a picture of the early symptoms of syphilis Let me tell you.

Early symptoms of syphilis

First: first stage syphilis symptom: after infection 2-4 weeks appears the hard chancre, mostly occurs in the genital part, the male in the coronal groove, the penis, the foreskin and so on. Women in the size of the labia or cervix. At the beginning, it is a papule, which quickly breaks into a small red ulcer, with a small amount of serous secretions, containing a large number of Treponema pallidum. The hard chancre is often single, with cartilaginous hardness and no pain.

Second: secondary syphilis symptoms: secondary syphilis generally occurs in 7 ~ 10 weeks after infection or 6 ~ 8 weeks after chancre, a few cases. Secondary lesions may overlap with chancre. Treponema pallidum spreads throughout the body through blood, mainly with skin and mucous membrane damage, as well as bone, sensory organs and nerve damage. Infectious, rash before often low fever, headache, muscle, joint and bone soreness and other precursor symptoms.

Third: the third stage of syphilis symptoms: due to Treponema pallidum from lymph nodes into the blood, spread in the body after systemic symptoms, in 7-10 weeks after infection, there can be low fever, headache, muscle and joint pain, systemic lymphadenopathy. Skin rash appeared all over the body, such as macula, papule, pustule, oyster shell rash, copper red, a small amount of scales attached. It is often symmetrically distributed, dense and not fused.

matters needing attention

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by Treponema pallidum through sexual contact. After Treponema pallidum invades the brain, it can cause one of the most common chronic meningitis in the nervous system syphilis, showing a gradual development and progressive course. The main clinical symptoms are personality change and progressive dementia. According to the pathological changes, Treponema pallidum caused inflammatory reaction in the brain, the pia mater became turbid and thickened, especially in the frontal lobe. The whole cerebral cortex atrophied significantly, especially in the frontal lobe. Most of the ventricles were enlarged and the ependyma thickened. In particular, there is a small sand like uplift at the bottom of the fourth chamber. This kind of granular ependymal inflammation has characteristic significance. As a result of this degeneration, leading to degeneration of brain nerve cells, a large number of cell necrosis, eventually leading to paralysis and mental retardation, paralytic dementia, which is the process of syphilis endangering brain health.
