Syphilis: Sign, Symptom, Treatment, History of Syphilis, Stage of Syphilis
Syphilis is not a newly discovered disease; its history can be traced back to the 15th century when an outbreak of syphilis occurred in Europe. At this time, all of the European countries had inhabitants who were infected, including children. Adults suffering from the disease were taken away from the cities and banned. What follows is a time line of syphilis throughout history
In the 1950’s, the reported number of syphilis cases began to decline, however, rose again in the 1960’s due to the sexual revolution. According to recent research and studies, there are an estimated 32,000 cases of reported syphilis every single year. Most of these cases are affect women between the ages of 20-24, and men between the ages of 35-39. Essentially, syphilis has three distinct stages
While it is possible for syphilis to be cured, the longer an infected individual waits to receive treatment the longer they will have to undergo treatment in order for it to be effective. Antibiotics are the normal treatment for syphilis, both in oral and inject able form. The medication should be taken exactly as directed by the physician, and the entire course of medication should be taken until is completely gone. If the entire course of antibiotics is not taken, the infection could become much worse, and will also result in the syphilis becoming somewhat immune to that particular antibiotic. The best way to find out if you may be infected with syphilis is to get checked before any symptoms arise. By catching it in the early stages, it is more apt to respond to treatment. Make testing for this sexually transmitted disease a part of your yearly or biannual physical; in doing so you will be taking proactive measures to protect your health.
