Syphilis

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by Treponema pallidum. It spreads via sexual contact and from mother to child during pregnancy. Diagnosis is via blood tests; the standard treatment is antibiotics (often penicillin). Early care prevents complications.

Overview

Typical stages include primary (painless ulcer/chancre), secondary (rash, lymph nodes), latent (no symptoms), and tertiary if untreated (affecting heart, nerves, organs). During pregnancy, syphilis requires prompt treatment to protect the baby.

Urgent care: neurological symptoms, vision/hearing changes, pregnancy, known exposure, or a genital ulcer/rash—please seek evaluation quickly.

Testing & Treatment (Evidence‑based)

  • Blood tests (screen + confirmatory) diagnose syphilis; clinicians may also examine lesions.
  • Antibiotics are the standard treatment (commonly penicillin; alternatives if allergic). Do not rely on home remedies.
  • Follow‑up blood tests confirm cure and check for reinfection.
  • Abstain from sexual contact until your clinician confirms you are no longer infectious.

If you’re pregnant or could be pregnant, early testing and treatment are essential.

Ayurvedic Perspective (Supportive)

Ayurveda emphasizes building Ojas (vital resilience) and balanced Agni (digestion) through diet, rest, and routines. Under Rasayana, supportive care may include tailored nutrition and stress management to complement biomedical therapy and recovery.

  • Fresh, warm, easy‑to‑digest meals; avoid heavy, very oily, or late‑night eating.
  • Adequate sleep and gentle activity as tolerated; reduce intoxicants.
  • Any herbal formulations should be used only under guidance from qualified practitioners alongside prescribed antibiotics.

Supportive measures are complementary and not curative for infection.

Safer‑Sex & Partner Care

Key steps: use barrier protection (condoms/dental dams), get regular STI screening, and notify recent partners for evaluation and treatment if advised by your clinician.
  • Complete all prescribed doses; avoid alcohol if it interacts with your medicines.
  • Wait for your clinician’s clearance before resuming sexual activity.
  • Discuss testing for other STIs (HIV, hepatitis, etc.) as recommended.
