4. WHAT IS SYPHILIS?
• Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease which is
caused by the infection of bacteria Treponema
pallidum. In this disease there is the formation of
painless sore on mouth, rectum and genital parts. It is a
contagious disease and spreads from one person to
another through these sores.
• After the initial infections bacteria remain inactive in
the body for years before becoming active again. It is
very important to diagnose syphilis in earlier stages
because it may cause the damage to organs like brain
and heart.

5. Syphilis
If one has got the syphilis, then he/she got the one
of most life threatening sexually transmitted
disease. In this era there are various dreadful
diseases which are hunting on the mankind. Despite
all this, sexually transmitted diseases are also
increasing rapidly. Syphilis has become life
threatening disease if left untreated because it may
cause the serious health complications like
blindness, deafness, neurosyphilis (damage to
nervous system) and damage to bones.

6. Syphilis
From the Ayurvedic perspective to manage
the syphilis and sexually transmitted
disease, there are various herbs present
which help to improve our immunity.
Because sexually transmitted diseases are
due to bacterial infections so these herbs
improve body's capability to fight against
those infections.

7. Syphilis
Syphilis has been considered an incurable
disease by the profession at large, except by
the use of mercury, often in toxic doses, and
the iodides. The older physicians of our school
believed, with some of these writers, that
many of the after symptoms charged to the
disease were induced by the mercury. They
also believed, that the disease could be cured
with perfect satisfaction, especially if taken at
the onset, with vegetable alteratives. They
also proved that when so treated none of the
severer manifestations of the disease, except
in extreme cases, would appear.

8. Primary Syphilis
The first symptom of primary syphilis
is an ulcer called a chancre (“shan-
ker”). The chancre can appear within
10 days to 3 months after exposure,
but it generally appears within 2 to 6
weeks. Because the chancre may be
painless and may occur inside the
body, the infected person might not
notice it. It usually is found on the part
of the body exposed to the infected
partner’s ulcer, such as the penis,
vulva, or vagina. A chancre also can
develop on the cervix, tongue, lips, or
other parts of the body. The chancre
disappears within a few weeks
whether or not a person is treated. If
not treated during the primary stage,
about one-third of people will go on to
the chronic stages.

9. Secondary syphilis
A skin rash, with brown
sores about the size of a
penny, often marks this
chronic stage of syphilis.
The rash appears
anywhere from 3 to 6
weeks after the chancre
appears. While the rash
may cover the whole body
or appear only in a few
areas, it is almost always
on the palms of the hands
and soles of the feet.

10. Latent syphilis
If untreated, syphilis may lapse into a latent
stage during which the disease is no longer
contagious and no symptoms are present.
Many people who are not treated will suffer
from no further signs and symptoms of the
disease.

11. Tertiary syphilis
Approximately one-third of people who have
had secondary syphilis go on to develop the
complications of late, or tertiary, syphilis, in
which the bacteria damage the heart, eyes,
brain, nervous system, bones, joints, or
almost any other part of the body. This stage
can last for years, or even for decades. Late
syphilis can result in mental illness,
blindness, other neurologic problems, heart
disease, and death

12. SYMPTOMS OF SYPHILIS
The initial infection causes an ulcer at the site of
infection. The bacteria, however, move throughout
the body, damaging many organs over time. Medical
experts describe the course of the disease by
dividing it into four stages-primary, secondary, latent,
and tertiary (late). An infected person who has not
been treated may infect others during the first two
stages, which usually last 1 to 2 years. In its late
stages, untreated syphilis, although not contagious,
can cause serious heart abnormalities, mental
disorders, blindness, other neurologic problems, and
death.
