What is the harm of syphilis to the human body? Through what channels is syphilis transmitted

Syphilis is one of the sexually transmitted diseases that can be transmitted through sexual activity. Some people do not have a deep understanding of the harm of syphilis and are easily underestimated, but it poses a significant threat to human health. Therefore, timely treatment of syphilis is necessary to avoid the harm of syphilis.

1. The harm increases and the disability rate increases. Due to the increased toxicity caused by the mutation of spirochetes, the damage to body organs increases. Moreover, the condition develops rapidly after mutation, and traditional treatment has poor efficacy, leading to an increase in the disability and mortality rates of syphilis. Failure to treat in a timely manner can lead to organ dysfunction and even endanger life.

2. Structural variation of Treponema pallidum leads to drug resistance. Every pathogenic microorganism has its own characteristics of variation, and spirochetes are no exception. Mutant spirochetes are like upgraded computer operating systems, with more complete functions, stronger toxicity, and less easy to treat. At the same time, the abuse of clinical antibiotics has accelerated the resistance of spirochetes to drugs, bringing difficulties to traditional treatment.

3. Spirochetes can harm the cardiovascular system. It can cause aortitis, aortic valve insufficiency, aortic aneurysm, etc.

Treponema pallidum invades the central nervous system. It can cause spinal tuberculosis, paralytic dementia, optic nerve atrophy, etc.

5. Spirochetes damage the skeletal system. Causing tissue and organ damage, loss of function, disability, or death.

Syphilis transmission route:

Syphilis is highly contagious. The transmission route can be divided into direct contact and non-sexual contact. Most people usually do not go to inappropriate places because they suffer from syphilis. The main transmission routes of syphilis are as follows.

1. Sexual contact transmission

In clinical practice, over 90% of syphilis is transmitted through sexual contact with syphilitic patients. Sexual contact includes sexual intercourse, hot kisses, and hugs. Due to the thin skin mucosa and abundant blood vessels of the human genitalia, extreme congestion during sexual intercourse can cause slight damage due to sexual friction, creating conditions for the invasion of syphilis pallidum.

2. Indirect contact transmission

Contact with things used by syphilis patients, such as clothing, bedding, items, supplies, appliances, toilets, toilets, and bath towels, may be contaminated by the patient's secretions and infected with the pale spirochete of syphilis. Even healthy individuals who live closely with syphilis patients are prone to contracting syphilis when exposed to these pathogens through minor wounds.
