Syphilis is a chronic systemic transmission disease caused by Treponema pallidum infection, which poses a threat to human health. Syphilis is divided into congenital and acquired syphilis. Syphilis infection has no immunity and can be repeatedly infected. The diagnosis of syphilis requires a comprehensive and systematic understanding of the medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests.
Condyloma acuminatum, an epidermal tumor like proliferative disease of the genitalia, perianal area, and perineum caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), is transmitted through sexual contact or contamination among sexually active individuals, and is transmitted from mother to child. This disease is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse, and according to some statistics, 64% of patients have phimosis. Women are mainly infected from their spouses and sexual partners. The incubation period of infection is from 1 to 8 months, with most of them feeling unwell, while a few have itching and burning pain. At the beginning, a slight reddish papule appears locally, with a slightly pointed tip that gradually increases and increases, and tends to fuse, presenting as papillary, cauliflower like, or cockscomb like growths.
Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the herpes simplex virus, which can cause infections of the skin, mucous membranes, and various organs. Female genital organs can also be infected with herpes simplex virus (HSV) through vaginal vertical transmission. The incubation period of newborns is about one week after the primary infection. A few can be accompanied by fever, headache, muscle pain and other systemic symptoms. The genital organs are infected by HSV. There are multiple papules, herpes, solitary, dense lesions in the local area, generally not painful or itchy, with small water or pustules, and then erosion or ulcer with pain. It lasts for 1-2 weeks before healing, and antibiotics can be found in the serum for many years. Local symptoms often recur.
Non gonococcal urethritis is a type of urethritis transmitted through sexual contact. In clinical practice, the symptoms of urethritis are obvious, with itching of the urethra, accompanied by mild or severe urgency, pain, frequent urination, or difficulty urinating. A small amount of thin secretion overflows from the urethral opening, with a incubation period of 1-3 weeks or months. Some patients may have no symptoms, but treatment is often delayed due to slow onset and atypical symptoms. This disease can still be accompanied by gonococcal urethritis, and if not treated in a timely manner, it can cause symptomatic epididymitis and prostatitis.
