Transmission routes of syphilis

How is syphilis transmitted? When it comes to syphilis, I believe everyone will have a horrified expression. Syphilis is a highly contagious disease, and the treatment process of this disease is very long. Therefore, we all need to stay away from syphilis in our daily lives. To stay away from syphilis, we need to understand the transmission routes of syphilis so that we can better stay away from syphilis and ensure that we can have a healthy body.

We all know about syphilis, but many people do not know how it is transmitted. In order to reduce the incidence of syphilis, we will introduce in detail the transmission routes of syphilis so as to better prevent syphilis.

There are many ways to transmit syphilis.

1. Infection through kissing, shaking hands, breastfeeding, gynecological examination or other direct contact with the skin lesions of syphilis patients, or contact with items and utensils contaminated by syphilis patients, such as indirect transmission of syphilis caused by contact with contaminated clothes, towels, tableware or contaminated medical equipment of syphilis patients.

2. Placental transmission of syphilis: Untreated syphilis in pregnant women can transmit the disease to the fetus through the placenta throughout the course of the disease.

3. Syphilis is transmitted through direct sexual contact: 98% of syphilis is transmitted through sexual contact. Syphilis patients are most contagious in the first year. There are a large number of Treponema pallidum on the surface of the patient's skin and mucous membrane lesions. Therefore, anyone who has sexual contact with these patients (including homosexuality) can be infected with syphilis when the skin and mucous membranes come into contact with the infected lesions.

4. Syphilis is transmitted through blood transfusion from blood donors with syphilis. Therefore, it is recommended that you go to a regular hospital in time to find out the condition and then receive targeted treatment.

The above is a detailed introduction to the transmission routes of syphilis. I hope it can be helpful to everyone. Syphilis is a very stubborn disease with a relatively long treatment process, so we all need to pay attention to syphilis.
