Syphilis is an infection caused by the bacteria Trepanoma pallidum and the infection can be divided into four stages namely Primary, Secondary, Latent and Tertiary. Progressing from one stage to another occurs over time and each stage has a different presentation compared to the other.
The stage in which a person develop painless genital ulcer, also known as a chancre, is the primary stage of the disease and regardless if you are treated or not, the ulcer will heal and disappear in anywhere between 2 to 6 weeks. The formation of the chancre denotes the entry point of the bacteria but it is not always easy to notice because it is painless and depending on the type of sexual intercourse you engage in, chancre deep in the anus or the vagina is simply not noticeable. Chancre may also occur in the mouth if you engage in fellatio or oral sex.
What’s more dangerous is that chancre is highly infectious and that failing to notice the presence of the chancre or ignoring it and then engaging in sexual intercourse with different partner poses risks of you to transmitting syphilis to your partner and/or acquire new infection thanks to the skin breakage from the painless ulcer. Just because the chancre isn’t there anymore doesn’t mean it has been dealt with adequately – quite the opposite instead because if you don’t get adequate treatment, disappearance of the painless lesion simply mean the bacteria has now moved to further and deeper places in the body, progressing from one stage to another, becoming more and more severe.
