Since when did the initial symptoms of syphilis start? how was it going? painless lumps disappear and become symptomsless once.
Syphilis changes its appearance over time from the first period to the fourth period.
■First phase… The initial symptoms of syphilis appear about 3 weeks after the infection.
About three weeks after the infection, a lump of red bean-sized cartilage appears in the area where the syphilis treponema, which is responsible, invaded. This is called early hardening. The initial stiffness gradually spreads around and hardens, forming ulcers in the center, making it a form called the ‘Kungseong Gwan’. None of them have symptoms such as pain. It usually occurs in the penis in men and in the pubic and pubic lips in women.
After a while after a lump occurs, the lymph nodes at the base of the foot swell, but it is characterized by no pain even if you press them.
These symptoms disappear naturally in 2 to 3 weeks even if left unattended, and become symptoms free after about 3 months until the second stage symptoms appear. Therefore, there is a time when you remain completely symptomsless and infected with syphilis.
■Second period…Syphilis treponema is sprayed all over the body with blood. About three months after infection, various genital rashes appear throughout the body.
■ The third stage…a tumor formed more than 3 years after infection.
More than three years after infection, a rubbery tumor can form beneath the skin. At present, the third period of syphilis is rarely seen.
■ Phase 4… Progressive paralysis such as inflammation of blood vessels and neurological disorders.
Inflammation of blood vessels due to syphilis and progressive paralysis due to neurological disorders appear. The Fourth Period Syphilis is also rarely seen today.
Treatment for syphilis…Penicillin is also effective in congenital syphilis.
Syphilis is treated with penicillin medication or IV. The same goes for congenital syphilis, with penicillin IV.
Prevention of syphilis is the right use of condoms.
The most effective prevention is to use condoms right from the start every time. If you are infected with syphilis, the rate of infection to HIV increases, and people infected with HIV are also prone to syphilis, so it is better to have another test if you are confirmed to be infected with either.
