Syphilis Causes and Symptoms

The cause of syphilis is the bacterium Treponema pallidum, and it is mainly spread through sexual contact, which includes vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Pregnant women with syphilis can also pass the infection to their babies during pregnancy or childbirth. Additionally, syphilis has different stages, and each stage comes with specific symptoms.

Syphilis begins with painless sores or ulcers called chancres appearing on the genitals, anus, or mouth. The secondary stage causes a rash to appear on different parts of the body. If not treated, syphilis can advance to a latent stage with no visible symptoms and eventually to a late stage that can damage the heart, brain, and other organs and cause serious health problems.


Why is Syphilis Testing important?

It’s important to get tested for syphilis as soon as possible since early detection is essential for effective treatment and controlling the transmission of the infection. Untreated syphilis can lead to severe long-term health issues. By getting tested, you can receive a prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment and prevent the further spread of the disease. This not only safeguards your health but also contributes to the well-being of your sexual partners and the community as a whole.

It is particularly important if you engage in high-risk sexual behavior, such as having multiple sexual partners, having unprotected sex, or having sex with individuals with syphilis or other sexually transmitted infections.
