Patient's question:
My wife and I have been looking forward to this for over ten years, and finally, we are finally able to have our own child. But this prenatal checkup almost drove us to the brink of collapse. The doctor said that my wife has syphilis (stage 1). Does this mean that our child will definitely not be healthy? I hope the doctor can give us some insight.Doctor's answer:
Your wife discovered syphilis during her pregnancy. The main modes of transmission for this disease are sexual transmission, mother-to-child transmission, and blood transmission. It has been identified that early medical treatment is necessary. With active and standardized treatment, it should have a curative effect on syphilis. Otherwise, the child may be born as a congenital syphilitic fetus. The above suggestions can be used for reference.
