Having unprotected sex can not only lead to unplanned pregnancies, it can also lead to acquiring sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis. Syphilis is a type of STD caused by bacterial infection called spirochetal bacterium Treponema pallidum. The signs and symptoms of this disease are numerous and in the past, it was very difficult to get a precise diagnosis. Syphilis has been dubbed as the “Great Imitator” as it was often confused with other diseases particularly in its tertiary stage. Medical science community recommends treatment of syphilis with antibiotics supplements including penicillin.
The symptoms of syphilis are chronic and recurring. Each occurrence progresses through three distinct stages. In the first stage, skin lesions occur within two to four weeks following infection. Usually, the lesion will initially present itself as a small reddish bump or ulcer that can eventually harden. Within two weeks of such an outbreak, the lymph nodes can become swollen, as well. In the second stage, the lesions may disappear, to be followed by a variety of health symptoms that can be mistaken for other diseases. For this reason, syphilis is often referred to as the “great imitator.” Symptoms during the second stage include headache, fever, and fatigue, as well as outbreaks of small reddish brown spots on the skin. Typically, these symptoms lessen within a few weeks, but can recur later on. The third stage of syphilis symptoms typically do not occur for many years after the initial infection. At this stage, the heart, blood vessels, and central nervous system can be affected, leading to severe physical and mental degeneration, followed by death.
