Post Date July, 25 2023
Syphilis poses a great threat to families. In daily life, people should pay attention to the appearance of syphilis and seek timely treatment. However, it is also important to pay attention to the health care of syphilis patients. Let's take a look at the expert's introduction.
(1) Treatment should adhere to the principle of early and sufficient medication. Penicillin has a killing effect on Treponema pallidum with minimal side effects. Collaborate with doctors to continue treatment, reduce complications, treat the disease, and restore health as soon as possible. During the treatment period, their spouse also needs to undergo examinations and receive treatment if necessary. Regular follow-up is required after cure, and if there are signs of recurrence, the dosage of antibiotics should be increased.
(2) Pay attention to life details and prevent infection with others: Patients with early syphilis have strong infectivity, while those with late syphilis gradually decrease in infectivity, but attention should be paid to protection. Wash your own underwear and towels separately immediately, cook and disinfect them, and do not bathe with others. When the occurrence of prickly heat and flat warts around the external genitalia and anus occurs, traditional Chinese medicine such as clearing heat, detoxifying, dehumidifying, and insecticidal decoction can be used to fumigate and wash the sitz bath.
(3) Early syphilis patients require a ban on rooms, and those who have been sick for more than 2 years should also try to avoid sexual activity. Condoms must be used during sexual contact. If the patient is unmarried and syphilis is cured, marriage is allowed.
(4) When secondary syphilis occurs, there is a systemic reaction that requires bed rest. During illness, pay attention to nutrition and enhance immunity.
(5) Pregnancy should not occur during illness. If the patient becomes pregnant, treatment should begin as soon as possible. Whether to protect the fetus should be carried out according to the wishes of the pregnant woman.
The above explanation is about the health care methods for syphilis patients. We hope that patients can pay attention to their own health, discover treatment as soon as possible, and restore their healthy body.
