Syphilis is a rather insidious and aggressive infectious disease, which carries a danger not only for the patient, but also for his surroundings. Many do not even think that they have this disease, since the causative agent can be without special signs for a long time in the body.
The first signs of syphilis in women
The first signs of infection with syphilis in women are most often not noticeable, especially in those cases when it became infected by sexual intercourse. Usually the first symptom - chancre, occurs at the site of the pathogen. Therefore, signs of syphilis can appear first in the vagina and on the cervix and go unnoticed.
If the infection has occurred on other mucous membranes, for example, in the tongue, tonsils or lips, the girl quickly turns to the doctor, because in these areas, the wound characteristic for this disease will be formed.
Signs of syphilis progression
After the first signs of syphilis in a woman, she begins to swell lymph nodes. As practice shows, in the first place those lymph nodes that are closest to the affected organs are affected, for example, if the genital organs are infected, inguinal lymph nodes are swollen, and if the symptoms appear in the mouth, cervical lymph nodes swell.
After these signs of syphilis in girls, if not start treatment, symptoms such as weakness, syphilitic rash of red throughout the body, and erosion may appear. Therefore, it is very important to see a doctor, otherwise the disease will become chronic and the cure will be prolonged.
In this case, the woman will gradually lose her hair and become afflicted with internal organs. As you can see, the symptoms are very different, and the disease progresses depending on a certain period - primary, secondary or tertiary. Running syphilis in the absence of treatment ultimately leads to death.
