summary

Syphilis is a rather terrible disease, and the harm caused by syphilis to patients is also relatively serious. Recently, my colleagues suffered from syphilis, and went to the hospital for treatment. At the same time, the doctor also told us about the way of transmission of syphilis. Now I will tell you about the way of transmission of syphilis.

How does syphilis spread

Route 1: the main route of transmission of syphilis is sexual contact: through contact with syphilis patients, accounting for more than 90%. Genital skin and mucous membrane thin, rich blood vessels, life in a state of extreme congestion.

The second route of transmission: blood transmission may also be the route of transmission of syphilis: the course of syphilis is longer, especially in patients with latent syphilis, although the body is infected with pathogens, but there can be no clinical manifestations.

The third route of transmission: the birth canal is also one of the routes 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, causing the newborn to infect syphilis.

matters needing attention

Syphilis patients with this disease should be treated as soon as possible, to avoid causing more serious harm to the body, 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.
