Syphilis causes
Nov 16, 2023
Syphilis is caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum and is primarily transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Additionally, syphilis can be transmitted from an infected mother to her unborn child during pregnancy or childbirth, known as congenital syphilis. Practicing safe sex and undergoing regular testing are essential to prevent syphilis transmission and safeguard one’s sexual health.
