Why are more and more people getting infected with syphilis? If you have these minor symptoms, you might need to pay attention!
Nowadays, the era of loving only one person in a lifetime has passed, and young people nowadays fall in love quickly. A meal together could lead to a couple, and just two or three “meetings” could seal a lifetime commitment. Even picking up your phone for online dating can help you find a desired partner. What’s more serious is that people nowadays have very open attitudes towards sexuality. Some individuals have multiple sexual partners at the same time, and some engage frequently in solicitation behavior.
All the things mentioned above are creating opportunities for syphilis infection. Medical research shows that the transmission of syphilis is limited, with the vast majority of cases occurring through sexual activity, kissing, and blood transmission. The reason why it often gets detected in the late stage is that people are not very familiar with the symptoms of syphilis, leading to many being unaware that they are infected and inadvertently spreading it to more people. Today, let’s share with you what symptoms to watch out for!
First: Prolonged red rashes
Many times, syphilis goes unnoticed because it is mistaken for a skin condition. Some people might think that red rashes on the skin are just allergies or dermatitis. They don’t take it seriously and often miss the best treatment window. Medical research indicates that the most obvious external symptom of syphilis infection is the presence of large patches of red rashes on the body, which can be very itchy. These rashes usually persist for a long time, so don’t mistake them for allergies – it’s crucial to promptly undergo relevant examinations!
Second: Swollen lymph nodes
Syphilis can evade the body’s immune system, which is why its infection rate is so high. When it enters the body, the lymph nodes will give an initial warning. It is crucial to take rescue measures promptly if the lymph nodes swell. If left untreated, it could lead to a collapse of the immune system and have extremely serious consequences. Pay attention to this point and don’t overlook it!
Third: Numbness of nerves
For syphilis, its harm to the body can easily affect the nervous system. It can directly cause numbness to the pain, which is why some people with HIV/AIDS may have decaying bodies but not feel any pain. Syphilis must be prevented, and actively spreading it should be avoided. It’s essential to maintain a healthy and positive lifestyle!
After discussing these, I hope everyone has a better understanding of syphilis. If you found today’s sharing helpful, feel free to show support. Although contemporary attitudes towards sexuality are more open, I believe there are still many individuals who prioritize cleanliness. Let’s promote healthy and clean sexual practices. Thank you for watching!
