YOGYAKARTA 'Syphilics are still a scourge to avoid. This disease is one of the most contagious sexual diseases so it should be watched out for. To help anticipate contracting this disease, first know what friendship is.

In AI Care, it is explained that syphilic is a sexually transmitted disease. The cause of the siphilical is a bacterial infection called pallidum treponema which is transmitted through sexual contact without condoms. These bacteria will enter other hosts through external wounds, including abrasions on the skin or mucous membranes.

It should also be noted that this disease, which is also known as the Lion King, is able to spread through direct contact with active lesions, for example when kissing a syphilic patient. However, siphilics cannot be vented by air because these bacteria are unable to last long in the free air, including being unable to be transmitted through toilets, swimming pools, bathrooms, eating utensils, clothes, towels, and so on.

Syphilic transmission itself can occur between mother to baby in pregnancy or childbirth. Citing the website of the Ministry of Health, this syndicate, which includes sexually transmitted infections (IMS), has the potential to attack people who have sexual relations with changing partners, commercial sex workers, groups who use used syringes, and fans of tattoos with less secure processes and tools.

Syphilic signs and symptoms vary, based on several stages. This means that each stage has different symptoms, namely as follows.

The first stage is primary sifilis which is marked by the appearance of wounds in the areas of the genitals, rectum, lips and and mouth. Usually, lymph node swelling appears in the groin area which indicates that immunity is fighting disease infection.

These symptoms will appear 10 to 90 days after a person is infected with pallidum treponema bacteria.

This stage is the key to whether bacterial infections are getting worse or not. If the treatment is right, recovery takes 3 to 6 weeks. However, if there is no medical action, the patient will be at the next stage, namely secondary practitioner.

At this stage, wounds on the genitals, rectum, lips or mouth do look lost, but change with other syphilic symptoms in the form of rashes in several parts of the body, such as the palms of the hands or feet. In addition, the symptoms that will be felt are as follows.

Syphilic patients do not appear to experience clinical symptoms, but in the first 1 year of this stage, patients have the potential to transmit their disease. However, in the second year there were no infections, but bacteria are still nesting in the body. The latent sifilis stage can develop into a tertiary syphilic stage if not treated by a doctor.

This stage appears 10 to 30 years after the primary infection and becomes the most dangerous stage for patients. Symptoms that arise are in the form of small gums or tumors in the body. Diseases will also have a bad impact on important organs such as the heart, brain, eyes, heart, or blood vessels. Syphilic patients at this stage are very susceptible to heart disease or stroke.
