My routine pregnancy test came up and the doc mentioned screening for syphilis. Got a bit worried and wanted to read up what the proper guidelines say about it during pregnancy. If anyone knows pls explain simply.
Double trouble if you try to self-diagnose this online! WHO guidelines are very clear about testing and immediate treatment, so get your tests done and let your gynac handle it.
Just like we have to strictly manage thyroid with regular blood tests, syphilis needs proper doctor follow-ups and antibiotic treatment. Please discuss the WHO guidelines directly with your gynac.
Syphilis in pregnancy can cause very severe complications for the baby. WHO strictly recommends early screening and penicillin treatment, so please consult your doctor immediately without any delay.
This is way out of my league, I can barely manage my kitchen guidelines, haha! But seriously, this needs proper medical treatment, so trust your doctor's protocol blindly.
