Management of adult syphilis between gynecology and urology

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease found only in humans, which is caused by a spirochete [Treponema pallidum]. It infects the genital area, lips, mouth, or anus of both men and women. Patients usually get syphilis from sexual contact with someone who has it. It can also pass from mother to baby during pregnancy. The early stage of syphilis usually causes a single, small, painless sore. Sometimes it causes swelling in nearby lymph nodes. If you do not treat it, syphilis usually causes a non-itchy skin rash, often on your hands and feet. Many people do not notice symptoms for years. Symptoms can go away and come back. The sores caused by syphilis make it easier to get or give someone HIV during sex. If you are pregnant, syphilis can cause birth defects, or you could lose your baby. In rare cases, syphilis causes serious health problems and even death. Syphilis is easy to cure with antibiotics if you catch it early. Correct usage of latex condoms greatly reduces, but does not completely eliminate, the risk of catching or spreading syphilis

Management of placenta previa during pregnancy

Placenta previa is an obstetric complication [OS] that traditionally shows painless vaginal bleeding in the third trimester secondary to a strange placentation close or covering the interior cervical OS. Due to the inherent risk of hemorrhage, placenta previa may cause serious morbidity and mortality to both the fetus and the mother. Recently there have been two defined types of placenta previa: complete, and marginal. We here review the complications, incidence, risk factors, and management options of placenta previa

Infection with genital herpes virus and its treatment in relation to preterm delivery

Infection with herpes simplex is a standout amongst the most well-sexually transmitted infections. As the infection is common in women of reproductive age it may be contracted and transmitted to the fetus amid pregnancy and the new-born. Herpes simplex virus is a significant cause of neonatal infection, which could lead to death or long-term disabilities. Infrequently in the uterus, as it happens frequently during the transmission delivery. The most serious danger of transmission to the fetus and the new-born happens in case of an early maternal infection contracted in the second half of pregnancy. The danger of transmission of maternalfetal-neonatal herpes simplex could be diminished by applying a treatment with antiviral medicines or depending on a caesarean section in some particular cases. The aim of this paper is to provide recommendations on the management of herpes simplex infections in pregnancy and approaches to decrease perinatal transmission of herpes simplex virus
