The progression of syphilis from infection to stage 1 is usually about 2 or 4 weeks.
Syphilis is a disease caused by the infection of the syphilis spirochete, which is contagious, and patients with syphilis are the only source of infection. After the body is infected with syphilis, according to the course of the disease can be divided into phase I, phase II, phase III syphilis, phase I syphilis is generally in the syphilis infection 2 to 4 weeks after the onset of syphilis, so syphilis from the infection to phase I progression is about 2 or 4 weeks.
Stage 1 syphilis usually has no obvious systemic symptoms, and the main manifestations are the hard chancre and swollen lymph nodes. The chancre appears as a small erythematous spot on the external genitalia or perianal skin and mucous membrane, which then develops into a painless ulcer. It is most often found on the coronal groove and glans in men, and on the labia and perineum in women. One to two weeks after the appearance of the chancre, the patient’s inguinal lymph nodes are often accompanied by enlargement.
If you have syphilis, you should actively cooperate with doctors to standardize the treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
