Can syphilis be cured?

Syphilis can usually be cured with appropriate antibiotic treatment, particularly when caught early. Follow-up testing is important to confirm the infection has cleared.

Can syphilis occur without symptoms?

Yes. Syphilis can be present without obvious symptoms (latent syphilis), which is why testing after a possible exposure can be important even if you feel well.

Syphilis Treatment in Delhi

Syphilis is a bacterial sexually transmitted infection that can be effectively treated, especially when detected early. Because its symptoms can be subtle or easily missed, proper testing and medical assessment are important.

How syphilis is diagnosed — VDRL & TPHA

Diagnosis is made with blood tests — VDRL (a screening test) and TPHA (a confirmatory test) — along with clinical evaluation. The stage of infection — primary, secondary, latent or tertiary — guides treatment decisions and follow-up.

Treatment — Injection Benzathine Penicillin

Syphilis is treated with Injection Benzathine Penicillin, given according to established medical guidelines. The dose and number of injections depend on the stage of infection and your clinical assessment. If you have a penicillin allergy, alternatives are discussed after evaluation.

Follow-up matters

Follow-up blood tests (VDRL titres) at recommended intervals help confirm that treatment has been effective. Dr. Ankur Lal plans follow-up care individually for each patient.
