Pregnancy with syphilis

Syphilis and pregnancy can affect each other. Pregnancy syphilis can infect the fetus through the placenta. Due to placental vascular obstruction of pregnancy syphilis, it affects fetal nutrition, prone to miscarriage, premature or stillbirth. Although it can be delivered at term, about 64.5% of the fetuses have been infected with syphilis and congenital syphilis, of which 15% to 20% are early-onset congenital syphilis. Pregnancy syphilis has a great impact on the health of pregnant women, which can lead to weight loss, fatigue, nutritional consumption, and decreased resistance to disease. If it is early syphilis, it affects health even more seriously. In addition to the above symptoms, fever, night sweats, anemia, bones and joints can be easily affected, bone decalcification, and joint pain can occur.
