Is it better for syphilis patients to give birth naturally or via cesarean section?

Patient's question:

On July 8th, the result was 1:3201:2. I received treatment at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital in our county. Currently, I am in the recovery period and haven't experienced any recurrence of uncomfortable symptoms!
Past treatment history and effectiveness: No history of heredity, no allergies!
What kind of help I need: Is it better to have a natural birth or a cesarean section during the recovery period? Will it affect the child?

Doctor's answer:

From your description, in this situation, it is recommended to first verify the child's health status and then consider how to provide care. It is suggested that if time permits, prenatal diagnosis should be conducted to verify the child's health. If the child is healthy, a cesarean section can be performed. However, whether it is a cesarean section or a vaginal delivery, there is a risk of infection, but the likelihood is relatively lower with a cesarean section.
When the doctor inquires, for the patient, if the condition of the cesarean section is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered with appropriate medication, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of the cesarean section. Additionally, the patient needs to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition.
