During the pre-marital health check-up, syphilis was detected in the blood, and the pregnancy is two months along. Is there any risk to the fetus?

Patient's question:

No symptoms, our regional family planning office found

Doctor's answer:

Hello
This child cannot be kept. Syphilis is already recognized as an infection that can be directly transmitted from mother to child. Giving birth in this situation is mostly unhealthy, with some later resulting in stillbirths. Therefore, it is usually recommended to have an abortion and undergo treatment first.
