Menstruation is the release of the uterine lining (endometrium) is accompanied by bleeding, and occurred every month except during pregnancy. Menstruation happens constantly referred to as the monthly menstrual cycle. menstruation usually occurs at the age of 11 years and lasted until your menopause (usually occurs around the age of 45 - 55 years old). Normally, periods lasted for 3 - 7 days.
Menstrual cycles vary among women and nearly 90% of women have a cycle of 25 to 35 days and only have 10-15% of 28-day cycle length, but some women have irregular cycles and this could be an indication of fertility problems.
Menstrual cycle length calculated from the first day of menstrual period - the day the bleeding starts is called the first day and then counted up to the last day - that is 1 day before menstrual bleeding begins next month.
A woman has ovarian 2 each of which stores about 200,000 to 400,000 immature eggs / follicles (follicles). Normally, only one or a few eggs to grow each menstrual period and approximately 14 days before the next menstrual period, when the egg has been cooked the eggs will be released from the ovary and then walked to the fallopian tubes and then fertilized. Release process is called "ovulation".
At the beginning of the cycle, a gland in the brain releases a hormone called follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) into the bloodstream, making egg cells are grown in the ovary.One or more eggs and grows faster than the other eggs and become dominant until then began to produce a hormone called estrogen is released into the bloodstream. Hormone estrogen hormone FSH in cooperation with the help of the dominant egg grows and then gives signal to the uterus to prepare themselves to receive the egg cell. Hormone estrogen also produce more mucus in the vagina to help the survival of sperm after having sex.

Eggs fertilized requires several days to walk to the fallopian tubes, reach the uterus and ultimately to "instill self" in the womb. Then, the egg will divide and produce the hormone Human Chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) which can be detected by GEATEL ®. Hormone that helps the growth of the embryo in the womb.
If the egg cell that has been released is not fertilized, the endometrium will be shed and the occurrence of the next menstrual process.
Syphilis is a sexually-transmitted infectious disease. The bacteria that cause it spread through broken skin or mucous membranes.
Pregnant mothers infected with the disease can pass it to the baby developing in their womb. This is called congenital syphilis.
Syphilis is widespread in the United States. It mainly affects sexually active adults ages 20 to 29.
Syphilis has several stages.
- Primary syphilis is the first stage. Painless sores ( chancres) form at the site of infection about 2-3 weeks after you are first infected. You may not notice the sores or any symptoms, particularly if the sores are inside the rectum or cervix. The sores disappear in about 4-6 weeks, even without treatment. The bacteria become dormant (inactive) in your system at this stage. For more specific information about this type of syphilis, see primary syphilis.
- Secondary syphilis occurs about 2-8 weeks after the first sores form. About 33% of those who do not have their primary syphilis treated will develop this second stage. These symptoms will often also go away without treatment and again, the bacteria become dormant (inactive) in your system. For more specific information about this type of syphilis, see secondary syphilis.
- Tertiary syphilis is the final stage of syphilis. The infection spreads to the brain, nervous system, heart, skin, and bones. The dormant bacteria may be detectable either by seeing the damage they cause to a part of the body, or through a blood test for syphilis. For more specific information about this type of syphilis, see tertiary syphilis.
Symptoms
The symptoms of syphilis depend on the stage of the disease. Many people do not have symptoms.
In general, painless sores and swollen lymph nodes are possible symptoms of primary syphilis. Those with secondary syphilis may also have fever, fatigue, rash, aches and pains, and loss of appetite, among other symptoms. Tertiary syphilis causes heart, brain, and nervous system problems.
For more information, see the article on the specific stage of syphilis.
Exams and Tests
Blood tests can be done to detect substances produced by the bacteria that cause syphilis. The older test is the VDRL test. Other blood tests may include RPR and FTA-ABS.
Treatment
Antibiotics are an effective treatment for syphilis. The antibiotic of choice is penicillin. The dose and how it's given (into a muscle or into a vein) depend on the stage of syphilis. Doxycycline may be used as an alternative treatment in individuals who are allergic to penicillin.
Several hours after treatment of early stages of syphilis, you may have a reaction called Jarish-Herxheimer reaction. Symptoms of this reaction include:
- Chills
- Fever
- General feeling of being ill
- General joint aches
- General muscle aches
- Headache
- Nausea
- Rash
These symptoms usually disappear within 24 hours.
You must have follow-up blood tests at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months to make sure the infection is gone. You should avoid sexual conduct until two follow-up tests show that the infection has been cured. Syphilis is extremely contagious through sexual contact in the primary and secondary stages.
Syphilis is a reportable infection. That means that doctors must report any cases of syphilis to public health authorities, so that potentially infected sexual partners may be identified and treated.
Outlook (Prognosis)
With prompt treatment and follow-up care, syphilis can be cured.
Late-stage syphilis can lead to long-term health problems, despite therapy.
Possible Complications
Complications of untreated syphilis include:
- Damage to the skin and bones
- Heart and blood vessel problems, including inflammation and aneurysms of the aorta
- Neurosyphilis
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Notify your health care provider if you develop signs or symptoms of syphilis. Several conditions may have similar symptoms, so you will need to have a complete medical exam.
Also call your health care provider if you have had sexual contact with someone who has syphilis.
Prevention
If you are sexually active, practice safe sex and always use condoms.
All pregnant women, people with HIV, and others at increased risk for having syphilis should be screened for syphilis.
