Further Explanation:
The infections that can be transmitted from one person to another person due to sexual contact or unprotected sex are mainly called sexually transmitted infections. If one person is suffering from STIs having unprotected sex can transmit the infection to a healthy individual. To control STIs we should use a condom.
Syphilis is a kind of sexual transmitted disease. The causative agent is treponema pallidum. Syphilis is dividing into four stages:
• Primary: This stage arrives when a person comes in contact with bacteria after three-four week. The main symptom is small and rounded sore.
• Secondary: In this stage sore throat and skin rashes occur. Also, fever, hair loss and weight loss can occur.
• Latent: This is a hidden stage of syphilis. In this stage there is no noticeable symptom but bacteria present in the body.
• Tertiary: This is the last stage of syphilis. This is very severe stage and it cause blindness, memory loss, neurological disorder, and heart disease.
Out of all these stages, tertiary stage is fetal for an individual. If syphilis is left untreated in the first stage and second stage then it goes to tertiary stage an affect the individual.
