Real Help on Syphilis; Sabrina Kendrick, M.D.; Brought to you by getSTDtested.com. Syphilis is a bacterial disease that affects both men and women. In the primary stage, the symptoms of Syphilis include a genital ulcer that is painless that may or may not be seen and in the secondary stage of Syphilis, that may include a generalized body rash that also includes the palms and the soles. Syphilis can reoccur if its not treated, the symptoms can leave and then come back if it is not treated, however if it is treated, the symptoms can reoccur if there is re-infection. In untreated Syphilis after many years, it can affect the brain and it usually manifests as dementia. The transmission is prevented by using condoms when you have sex. The treatment of Syphilis involves giving Penicillin shots. Treatment for the first stage or the primary illness includes one shot at the time of diagnosis. If the diagnosis is a later stage of Syphilis it may include Penicillin shots weekly for three weeks. Those persons who should be tested for Syphilis include anyone who is having unprotected sex as well as those individuals who present with a genital ulcer and/or a rash anywhere on the body.
