What causes symptoms of syphilis?
464820
Syphilis, which is caused by the bacteria Treponema pallidum, typically first appears as a sore on the area where there has been sexual contact with the infected person. If the infection goes untreated, it can progress to affect the entire body. That's why it's important to talk to your doctor if you think that you may have syphilis or if you have engaged in any behavior that would put you at risk for developing the disease.\n \nSyphilis typically has three stages - primary, secondary, and late (tertiary). There are different symptoms at each stage of the infection.\n\nPrimary :There is a small sore which is painless in genital,where sexually transmitted disesase take place.and enlarge lymph node in groin and may disappear without treatment but relapse and causes secondary infection.\n\nSecondary :penny sized sore in any part of your body which is rash marked,fever,soreness and pain in bones or joint.it may disappear but reappear after a year or so.\n\nTertiary:Cardiovascular problems :inflammation of the aorta and other blood vesels. and Neurologic problems :poor muscle coordination,paralysis\n\n\nThe signs and symptoms of syphilis are myriad; before the advent of serological testing, diagnosis was more difficult and the disease was dubbed the "Great Imitator" because it was so often confused with other diseases.

Many people infected with syphilis do not have any symptoms for years, yet remain at risk for late complications if they are not treated. Although transmission appears to occur from persons with sores who are in the primary or secondary stage, many of these sores are unrecognized. Thus, most transmission is from persons who are unaware of their infection.\n\nPrimary Stage\nThe primary stage of syphilis is usually marked by the appearance of a single sore (called a chancre), but there may be multiple sores. The time between infection with syphilis and the start of the first symptom can range from 10 to 90 days (average 21 days). The chancre is usually firm, round, small, and painless. It appears at the spot where syphilis entered the body. The chancre lasts 3 to 6 weeks, and it heals without treatment. However, if adequate treatment is not administered, the infection progresses to the secondary stage.\n\nSecondary Stage\nSkin rash and mucous membrane lesions characterize the secondary stage. This stage typically starts with the development of a rash on one or more areas of the body. The rash usually does not cause itching. Rashes associated with secondary syphilis can appear as the chancre is healing or several weeks after the chancre has healed. The characteristic rash of secondary syphilis may appear as rough, red, or reddish brown spots both on the palms of the hands and the bottoms of the feet. However, rashes with a different appearance may occur on other parts of the body, sometimes resembling rashes caused by other diseases. Sometimes rashes associated with secondary syphilis are so faint that they are not noticed. In addition to rashes, symptoms of secondary syphilis may include fever, swollen lymph glands, sore throat, patchy hair loss, headaches, weight loss, muscle aches, and fatigue. The signs and symptoms of secondary syphilis will resolve with or without treatment, but without treatment, the infection will progress to the latent and late stages of disease.\n\nLate Stage\nThe latent (hidden) stage of syphilis begins when secondary symptoms disappear. Without treatment, the infected person will continue to have syphilis even though there are no signs or symptoms; infection remains in the body. In the late stages of syphilis, it may subsequently damage the internal organs, including the brain, nerves, eyes, heart, blood vessels, liver, bones, and joints. This internal damage may show up many years later. Signs and symptoms of the late stage of syphilis include difficulty coordinating muscle movements, paralysis, numbness, gradual blindness, and dementia. This damage may be serious enough to cause death.

Not trying to scare you or anything but if they are appearing that quickly then maybe you should see your doctor. The last post was right they most likely are warts but when someone says bumps all over the bottoms of thier feet it just sends off warning bells in my head because syphilis has such a symptom. see your doctor.

Syphilis is passed from person to person through direct contact with a syphilis sore. Sores occur mainly on the external genitals, vagina, anus, or in the rectum. Sores also can occur on the lips and in the mouth. Transmission of the organism occurs during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Pregnant women with the disease can pass it to the babies they are carrying. Syphilis cannot be spread through contact with toilet seats, doorknobs, swimming pools, hot tubs, bathtubs, shared clothing, or eating utensils.\n\nBlame Answers for **** out words, but check the site.

Yes it could be, you need to see a doctor.  The virus that cause std can lay dormant for years, and flare up at any time.

Of course it can.  Historically, syphillis has been passed to babies and can cause severe damage.  Now, Aids is passed to babies and causes severe damage and death.  Hepatitis B and herpes also can be passed to baby and are very serious.  Gonorrhea and chlamydia also can be problems.\n\nI would do whatever I could to help such a child.  However, it is true, as "the answer man" alludes, that God says he will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon the second and even the third generation of them that hate him.  Yes, the children do suffer from the sins of their parents.  If they survive, they have a chance to get right themselves, with God.

Syphilis is a bacterial infection, just like strep throat, etc.  So if you were treated with antibiotics (which I assume you were), and you never contracted it again, then you will be free of the disease and also incapable of passing it on.  You're free!

Prodromal symptoms \nSore appears \nLesion begins to heal, usually without scarring \nIn men, the lesions may occur on the shaft of the penis, in the genital region, on the inner thigh, buttocks, or anus. In women, lesions may occur on or near the pubis, labia, clitoris, vulva, buttocks, or anus. This may require a very careful examination e.g. during delivery examination by use of a flashlight may be necessary.\n\nThe appearance of herpes lesions and the experience of outbreaks in these areas varies tremendously among individuals. Herpes lesions on/near the genitals may look like cold sores. An outbreak may look like a paper cut, or chafing, or appear to be a yeast infection. Symptoms of a genital outbreak may include aches and pains in the area, discharge from the penis or vagina, and discomfort when urinating.\n\nInitial outbreaks are usually more severe than subsequent ones, and generally also involve flu-like symptoms and swollen glands for a week or so. Subsequent outbreaks tend to be periodic or episodic, typically occur four to five times a year, and can be triggered by stress, illness, fatigue, menstruation, and other changes. The virus sequesters in the nerve ganglia that serve the infected dermatome during non-eruptive periods, where it cannot be conventionally eliminated by the body's immune system.\n\nClick below for more information on herpes and pictures.

the symptoms of aids are frequent fever, diarrhoea about more than twice a week, and infection of various types. \n\nthe symptom of which you mentioned in the question is obviously not of aids. it can be of schyfilis of a chancre developing. but it csn be more of a muscular pain developed when you are trying to masturbbate. so wait for a wee, see if the pain resolves; and if it coes not then you must visit the doctor.

The biggest problem with chlamydia is that in a large majority of women there are no symptoms, and only a test at a GUM clinic willlet her know she has it. In the cases where there are symptoms there will be a discharge from the vagina, and maybe some burning when peeing. But the fact that there often aren't visible symtpoms is one of the reasons why it is the largest STI- if untreated it can leave a woman infertile, so it is worth getting checked out anyway, just in case

It's usually a sign of an infection.  See your doc.

Late stage (tertiary) syphilis can attack the brain and cause blindness. Syphilis is caused by a bacteria called Treponema pallidum, and it is curable with penicillin. HOWEVER, for patients with late stage syphilis, neurological symptoms (including blindness) CANNOT be reversed. Killing off the bacteria with antibiotics will stop progression of the disease, but the damage that has been done will be permanent.

The treatment of syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) is complex. If taken properly, antibiotic treatment with penicillin will usually cure a syphilis infection. If syphilis has progressed to the tertiary stage, antibiotics can prevent further complications, but they cannot reverse damage that has already occurred. Prompt antibiotic treatment will decrease complications and prevent the spread of the infection.\n\nPenicillin is the antibiotic most commonly used to treat syphilis. Penicillin is usually given as a shot (injection).\n\nIf you are allergic to penicillin, your health professional may prescribe another antibiotic, such as doxycycline, tetracycline, ceftriaxone, or azithromycin, for the earlier stages of syphilis. Later stages of syphilis may require treatment with penicillin.\n\nTreatment with penicillin cures most cases of syphilis in any stage.  Antibiotics prevent further complications of syphilis but may not reverse damage that has already occurred.\n\nExposed sex partners should be treated for syphilis. Since the chancres in syphilis can make transmission of HIV more likely, testing for both syphilis and HIV should be done.
