Syphills Treatments

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted bacterial infection. It is treatable in the early stages. Without treatment, it can lead to disability, neurological disorders, and death.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that can escalate severely without treatment. Syphilis is an infection by the T. pallidum bacteria that is transmitted by direct contact with a syphilitic sore on the skin, and in mucous membranes. A sore can occur on the vagina, anus, rectum, lips, and mouth. It is most likely to spread during oral, anal, or vaginal sexual activity. Rarely, it can be passed on through kissing. The first sign is a painless sore on the genitals, rectum, mouth, or skin surface. Some people do not notice the sore because it doesn't hurt. These sores resolve on their own, but the bacteria remain in the body if not treated. The bacteria can remain dormant in the body for decades before returning to damage organs, including the brain.
