Syphilis has 4 stages. The first stage is primary stage. The primary stage often has the soreness wherever the infection is located. It is usually accompanied by a generally ill feeling and inflammation. Most of the time the symptoms pass within two weeks without treatment, but the Chlamydia, although many afflicted with the illness are not aware, continues to exist within the bloodstream, spreading throughout the entire body. Now comes the 2nd stage, where you start to get headaches, pains all over the body, rashes, sores in the mouth, and sometimes your hair will fall out. This stage usually lasts about 3 weeks to 9 months. The 3rd stage or latent stage can last between a few months to 50 years. At this point there are no symptoms and it will show up in your blood tests. The last stage often leaves permanent damage like ulcers on the skin, joints bone damage, blindness, and paralysis. Syphilis can be treated with an antibiotic like penicillin.
Gonorrhea is mostly spreading in women; however it can also spread to men. The symptoms are abnormal bleeding, a burning sensation, and discharge. Most of the time if you have these symptoms men can have a yellow discharge, blood in the urine, and the penis may turn red. This can be treated with antibiotics and prevented with the use of a condom.
