What is Syphilis?

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. This syphilis bacteria can affect various parts of the body, progressing through multiple stages—primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary—each with unique symptoms and risks. If untreated, syphilis can become life-threatening and lead to severe complications, such as damage to the brain, heart, and nervous system. Early detection and syphilis treatment are crucial to prevent the long-term health risks of untreated syphilis and to protect your overall well-being.

Syphilis can also be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy, resulting in congenital syphilis, which can pose serious health risks to the baby. Pregnant individuals are advised to get screened for syphilis as part of their prenatal care.

How Syphilis is Transmitted

Syphilis is primarily spread through direct skin-to-skin contact with a syphilitic sore during sexual activity, including vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Here’s how syphilis transmission typically occurs:

• ⊕ The syphilis bacteria can enter the body through mucous membranes or small breaks in the skin, typically in the genital area, anus, or mouth, during sexual contact with an infected individual.
• ⊕ Syphilitic sores, which are often painless, can appear on or around the genital area, anus, or mouth.

Since many individuals may be asymptomatic or experience mild symptoms, regular testing for sexually transmitted diseases, including syphilis, is recommended if you’ve had potential exposure, especially if you’re sexually active with multiple partners or have had unprotected sex.

Symptoms of Syphilis

The symptoms of syphilis vary depending on the stage of the infection. Some individuals may not experience any symptoms at first, which can lead to delayed diagnosis if regular screening is not done. However, here are common signs to watch for:

• ⊕ Primary Stage: A single, painless sore at the infection site, often on the genital area, rectum, or mouth. These sores can appear shortly after syphilis transmission.
• ⊕ Secondary Stage: A skin rash, often on the palms and soles, along with other symptoms such as fever, swollen lymph nodes, and sore throat. Symptoms of an STD in this stage may vary.
• ⊕ Latent and Tertiary Stages: During the latent stage, there may be no visible symptoms, but untreated syphilis can eventually progress to the tertiary stage, causing severe, life-threatening complications like damage to organs, nerves, and blood vessels.

If you notice any of these symptoms or suspect recent exposure, prompt diagnostic testing and treatment are recommended. Early detection through a rapid syphilis test can help you receive the necessary treatment to manage the infection and prevent complications.
