What are the early symptoms of syphilis

The symptoms of syphilis are the most effective warning signs for all of us to identify and discover whether we have syphilis. Although syphilis carriers will not temporarily develop syphilis during the latent period of syphilis, they will still develop some hidden early symptoms. As long as we understand these symptoms, syphilis can be detected as early as possible. The earlier it is detected, the more thorough the treatment will be.

Experts point out that symptoms of infection may not appear immediately after contact with a person with a sexually transmitted disease. This period of time is called the incubation period. Understanding the incubation period of a disease can effectively treat the disease at an early stage and avoid adverse consequences. When the STD virus develops to a certain number and has a certain virulence, the symptoms of discomfort will appear. The incubation period of each disease is:

Syphilis is divided into early syphilis and late syphilis, and also into primary syphilis, secondary syphilis and tertiary syphilis. There are usually no symptoms during the early stages of syphilis infection, which is called the incubation period, which is usually 10-30 days.

What are the symptoms of early syphilis? The early symptoms of syphilis are divided into the following two types:

1. Early symptoms of congenital syphilis

Newborns do not show symptoms until about 3 weeks after birth, and no chancre occurs. The symptoms are similar to those of acquired secondary syphilis, but are more severe. The affected children generally have poor development, are thin, have loose and wrinkled skin, and look like little old men. The transmission route of syphilis often includes abdominal distension and hepatosplenomegaly, and 50% of children have swollen lymph nodes. About half of the children develop skin lesions, which often occur within 6 weeks of birth.

2. Early symptoms of acquired syphilis

It usually occurs after the age of 2 and rarely occurs after the age of 30. Its symptoms are generally similar to those of acquired tertiary syphilis, and it also has some characteristic manifestations. Such as parenchymal keratitis, sensorineural hearing loss, dental abnormalities and bone damage.

Experts kindly remind you: Syphilis is very harmful. If it is not treated in time, it will affect the health of the partner and cause various inflammations. Therefore, syphilis patients must choose a regular professional hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
