Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. I'm asking if sitting on an orange that has been used by a person with syphilis can lead to transmission.Doctor's answer:
Generally, there are no major issues, but the main mode of transmission is through sexual contact. Therefore, it's best to avoid sexual activity or use methods like condoms to regulate and prevent infection. A few patients may become infected through close contact such as kissing or breastfeeding. This could be due to vaginitis. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test. Pay attention to local hygiene, change underwear frequently, clean the perineum with warm water, and drink more water. Medications can include metronidazole, clindamycin, or vaginal antiseptic gels.
