Patient's question:
What should I do if my wife is pregnant and an examination reveals syphilis? Can the child still be kept? Will it be transmitted to the child?Doctor's answer:
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease that can be spread from mother to child, potentially infecting the fetus and affecting both the health of the fetus and the pregnant woman. It is essential to undergo regular prenatal check-ups during pregnancy and closely monitor the growth and development of the fetus. If any abnormalities in fetal growth and development are observed, early pregnancy termination must be considered. Personal hygiene should be paid close attention to, and the use of condoms during sexual activity is crucial to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
