According to Malu, syphilis infection that affects the eyes is a serious problem that cannot be taken lightly.

3. Hair loss

“Second stage syphilis, which can occur anywhere from a few months to two years after first getting it can lead to hair loss,” continues Malu.

This hair loss does not only occur on the scalp, but also on the eyebrows, eyelashes, armpits, legs, to the trunk.

4. Joint pain

“Some patients experience painful swelling in the large joints (elbows, wrists, knees, and feet) due to chlamydial infection,” says Malu.

According to him, this happens because the lining of the joints has some antigens that are very similar to those found in bacteria.

A very serious complaint is a septic infection of the joints caused by gonorrhea, when the joints become very red, hot and swollen. This condition requires emergency treatment.
