What are the transmission routes of syphilis?

Syphilis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Treponema pallidum. After entering the human body, spirochetes quickly spread to various organs throughout the body, producing various symptoms and signs. Sexual contact, as a sexually transmitted disease, is its mode of transmission. But in addition, syphilis has other ways of transmission.

1. Direct contact infection: According to statistics, over 95% of patients are caused by direct contact with traditional syphilis. Therefore, in order to avoid syphilis, it is necessary to pay attention to the safety of sexual activity and use condoms to reduce direct contact.

2. Indirect contact infection: Living with syphilis patients, frequent contact with underwear, underwear, blankets, towels, razors, toilets, etc. may infect syphilis patients, as these daily necessities may be infected with Treponema pallidum, leading to contact infection.

3. Through mother to child transmission: If a woman becomes pregnant without receiving treatment for syphilis, Treponema pallidum can be transmitted to the fetus through blood circulation, causing the fetus to become infected with syphilis in the mother's body. Therefore, pregnant women with syphilis are not recommended.

4. Blood transmission: Treponema pallidum can transmit infection through blood. It is common for syphilis patients to use syringes or other appliances that may come into contact with blood, such as tooth extraction and blood transfusions.
